Coctails - 10/22/06 01:28 AM
So I was feeling a little sluggish today and decided to take some energy pills but it’s now 2:22 am and what I am doing, yes blogging.  I can’t sleep, I am on like my there glass of vodka and still I can’t sleep.  That was supposed to wipe me out for sure, but it didn’t.  And you know what the messed up part, I am going to totally crash tomorrow and I have a lot of stuff to do.  Guess I will be repeating this behavior again … (10 comments)

Good help is hard to find - 10/22/06 12:50 AM
So as you all know my mom purchased a home four house from mine in VA to be closer to her granddaughter.  Wel as with any new home owner she wanted to put her touches on it by getting few things done.  So since my dad already moved down to pave the way, he set out to get the house painted.  In our little cul-de-sac for some reason there a lot of self employed little business owners, one of wish is a painter.  So my dad approached him about painting the house, he told him he would have to come over … (0 comments)

You know…….. the one that keeps the doctor away :)
When I was younger time seams to go so slowly now that I am older it won't stop rolling away, but I can't wait for October to go away.  I don’t know but something is wrong here.  Well I have a beautiful daughter but only thru the help of modern science and god of course.  She is two now and I would love to have another child but now that I am out of the Navy with little or no health care it would be super expensive to make  another visit … (1 comments)

What's the 411? Purchasing a home with no credit score - 10/21/06 10:42 PM
Although many people with no credit score home shopping are usually new immigrants and people coming straight out of college, there are still a lot of people who just do not have a score.  The reason range from people who never wanted credit out of fear of owing some else for anything or some one who have had credit in the past but for what ever reason have paid off their accounts or not but because it has been so long ago they fell off the credit radar. 
Even though these people may not have a credit score it is … (2 comments)

Content, Content - 10/08/06 12:56 AM
I noticed a very important thing today.  I guess you really would not know it unless you’re doing it.   Many people have done it for years with out our direct knowledge. I am talking about content. Whether it the fox news or CNN everyone needs to find and talk about something to interest consumers and viewer in recognizing and keeping interest in them. So I figure all I need to do is master this and I will be well on my way to being a champ In this business.  Any Idea in this would be helpful.

Ok let’s talk about marketing…………….
 

This is a touchy subject for me because if you do not know what you are doing it can be very detrimental.  In our business as Loan Originator and Realtors I am told that and have found out that referral is the way to go.  There are countless of inscrutable business out there that takes advantage of the new and the unknowledgeable.  You need to do your research and take control of your marketing.  Try doing some of the same things these lead companies are doing like creating your own competitive website.  Here are three … (1 comments)

What's the 411? - Quickest way to build a credit score - 10/04/06 02:44 AM

Ok for those of us that are still struggling to build our credit here are some helpful notes
What is credit scoring?
To put it simplistically, it’s a point system used by creditors to determine your lending risk.  They gather information such as types of credit, amounts you owe, length of credit and sometime other things like employment and age. They then compare it to others and award you a score
What types and how many credit lines do you have?
 Diversify, Diversify.  It is important to have a good blend of credit lines.  Having too much … (0 comments)

The drama continues - 10/02/06 09:55 PM
So if you have been following I am talking about my Mom’s house again.  So the realtor took a family and their dog over to view the house this weekend and the mother ask him how much she need to put down to qualify for this house.  He asked her what’s her credit score and she said it’s in the 800 and he told her she would need to put down around 10% to qualify.
