Dump A Body, Then Sell A Loan - 07/25/08 02:20 PM

I was encouraged today to read that provisions were added to the bill passed this Wednesday by the U.S. House that will require states to deny a license (to sell home loans) for applicants who have committed a felony within the last seven years. This is especially reassuring after a … (0 comments)

Regulation I Will Support: Transparency and Disclosure - 07/23/08 12:33 PM

Some of the government's new regulations seem bogus to me; just a band-aides to make themselves look good. For example, regulation against prepayment penalties. In the short term that might help some people sell a house in foreclosure. In the long term it forces lenders to use higher interest rates, making … (0 comments)

Using Zillow.com To Check Your Home's Value - 07/23/08 11:53 AM

"Shady" Home-lending Practices - 07/09/08 11:01 AM

This morning I read a USAToday artice titled Fed to curb shady home-lending practices . Once again, it inspired me to question the situation and the response.
I am pro-regulation when it inspires transparency. In other words, I feel as though some brokers hide or manipulate borrower information when submitting apps to … (0 comments)

Gainesville Notes - 07/09/08 10:51 AM

I think it's cool that TWO authors about 'green living' have chosen Gainesville as their residence! There's no arguing that we have a lot of green. As even more evidence is the recent denial for new development at the Gainesville Golf and Country Club. This is a tough one for me … (0 comments)
