How long can you stay in your house with not paying the Mortgage? - 09/30/08 04:11 PM
This question was asked of me this morning. The way it looks now, if you could stay in the home for 18 months before they kicked you out, and your payments were about $2000 per month, isn't it worth letting it go?
If he were to save that $2K per month for 18 months, he would end up with bad credit, and about $36,000 in his pocket. Pretty easy to find a place when you can pay first, last, deposit and a few months in advance.
He was looking at the fact that he could cut his losses now on his … (0 comments)

Bored to death...time to exercise and take better care of me. - 09/30/08 01:49 PM
Last night I wassitting home just bored to death and waiting for a vote on the Bail out. Seems it doesn't really matter which way it goes...just that it does go...any decision is better than no decision.
So my wife suggested that instead of being stressed out about the lack of Mortgages. I should take the down time to do some "stress relief" and make a move to take better care of myself. So I was looking into Isagenix. It's a colon cleanse that people do and have had great results in loosing a few pounds and getting healthy. I have … (2 comments)

WAMU: Let's go to Vegas and gamble! - 09/26/08 08:27 AM
WAMU: When we sit down at the table, give me all your money. I will look at the cards and gamble your money for you.
Tax Payer: What if you loose?
WAMU: Hahahaha!
Tax Payer: Well?
WAMU: When I win, I will keep half and give you your half after all your fees are paid. But if I loose, I get to walk away with my winnings, and you will need to stay and pay your fines for me loosing all your money.
Tax Payer: Thank you for doing that for me? I guess?

My Blog on 04-08-08...Where is the FBI! - 09/26/08 08:19 AM
I wrote this blog back in April, and last night the FEDS shut down WAMU! Where is the FBI? It's a good thing they haven't passed that $700 Billion tax payer bail out. This just goes to prove that we are being manipulated into beleiving that we "need" to pay for this and that it is for our own good.

Bail out? Why are you surprised? The Feds are just doing their job? - 09/25/08 03:05 PM
A central bank, reserve bank, or monetary authority is the entity responsible for the monetary policy of a country or of a group of member states. Its primary responsibility is to maintain the stability of the national currency and money supply, but more active duties include controlling subsidized-loan interest rates, and acting as a "bailout" lender of last resort to the banking sector during times of financial crisis (private banks often being integral to the national financial system). It may also have supervisory powers, to ensure that banks and other financial institutions do not behave recklessly or fraudulently.

To Bail out or not to Bail out? - 09/24/08 04:13 PM
The big question this past week has been to bail out Wall Street or not, and save the tax payers $700 Billion. Or will it really be enough or too much of a bail out and "who are we really saving" from a financial crisis.
Are we saving Wall Street as they say? Or are we trying to save the taxpayers.
I just hate that word "taxpayers". Early this mornig it was being thrown around like "those working class people that can't really understand that this is for their own good".
But the real question for the Real Estate Market is: … (6 comments)

Why you can't put the 10 commandments in front the white house? - 09/19/08 08:39 PM
Well, why can't we put the 10 commandments in front of the White house....the Pentigon...Wall Street...AIG...Morgan Stanley....WAMU...
 
 
Because you can't put a sign that says "thou shalt not lie, thou shalt not steal, and thou shalt not commit adultry in front of a building full of lawyers, judges and especially Politcians!

When did we loose our faith in the media and government? - 09/15/08 04:00 PM
Yesturday I got a hold of my best friend, just north of Houston. He said ike took out a big tree in his front yard and made a pretty big mess. They are out of electricity for a week to 10 days. But otherwise he is fine. But in Galveston...?
I asked him why did everyone not evacuate Galveston like they were told? Are they so attached to their belongings that they would risk their lives to stay and go down with them like so many others did in New Orleans?
No, he said, it's not that. It is the fact … (0 comments)

Freddie and Fannie got married last monday... - 09/12/08 12:24 PM
Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae were married last monday by the Feds and now will be under the Fed family control. Will consumers now want to bet on this families growth and survival. Will it lower interest rates and revive houseing prices? 
Or are consumers still too scared? Are consumers still going to sit back and wait for rates and prices to go down more so that they can brag to all their friends how they got this great big 5000 sq ft house for just under $100K in a neighborhood of million dollar houses?
Every area has had it's share of … (0 comments)
