Interest Only Mortgage Loans: My New Favorite Mortgage - 03/27/07 10:45 AM
I have a new favorite mortgage. It's fairly new- at least to my knowledge, this mortgage has only been around a couple of years. The Fannie Mae 10-year Interest Only ARM. Now, many people will tell you that "interest only" home loans are no good...including a recent issue of Newsweek that I read. I

SEO Opinions are like, well... - 03/26/07 11:43 AM
About a week ago, I posted an article entitled "Reciprocal Linking Meanies." Basically, I debunk the widely-spread, wrong idea that one needs reciprocal links and I prove it. I knew there would be at least one new green SEO out there who would not like what I had to say, but would- inevitably-

I was almost arrested today! Scam Alert. - 03/19/07 12:26 PM
This is actually pretty funny, because I have this bizarre paranoia about going to prison. I am not a criminal, I assure my good readers, but someone I know- who used to be a mortgage broker- actually went to prison a couple of years ago because she wasn't diligent and some of

The Importance of a Blog Footer - 03/08/07 04:18 PM
I think I'll take a moment to talk about blog post footers. Because we all tend to talk about many different topics when we post on ActiveRain, it can be confusing for the poor Googlebot to determine what our blogs are all about. One day I am talking about Arizona Home Loans

Real Estate? Mortgage Broker? Pick the right URL! - 03/04/07 03:38 PM
Although I am a mortgage broker first and foremost, my education and academic experience would actually suit me better to be a computer nerd. It's just that I find this computer-type work so damn tedious! I like people! I don't want to sit in front of my computer all day. I do still

So you think you're part of the World Wide Web? - 03/03/07 01:03 AM
I think we've forgotten what "the web" actually is. A long, long time ago, before there were blogs, and porno-sites and pop-up ads and pop-under ads, and spyware... There was this thing called the World Wide Web and it was pure and it was good and it was filled with information- nothing but articles. And you
