cmps: Watch Out for Falling... - 05/08/07 01:28 AM
I was doing some research today and looking into the future of the mortgage market. It never seems to fail that technical indicators portray a good glimpse of the future, and with that in mind, I am off to predict the future of interest rates. Many of you may know that I run another blog off my main mortgage site that posts updates on the mortgage market and provides locking guidance for those that choose to float. I get this information from several different resources as I do not like any one opinion, another thing many of you may already know about

cmps: How to Earn Money by Borrowing at 6.0% and Investing at 4.0% - 04/25/07 02:23 PM
This article is about the benefits of proper mortgage planning and how they can lead you down a path to true financial freedom faster than you thought possible, even faster than an MMA can get you there. The goal is to show you how you may be able to use your mortgage to accelerate your financial and investment plans and grow your wealth more over time. For starters, and to make calculations simple, we will say you take out a $100,000 mortgage at 6.5% (30 year fixed, fully amortizing) and invest the money in an investment vehicle earning 4%.

cmps: Finding Solutions is What It's All About - 04/24/07 10:43 AM

It isn't even that I like doing mortgages and in all honesty, I don't like originating loans much.

cmps: How to Make $125K Tax-Free in Addition to Rental Income - 02/26/07 09:05 AM
If you are an avid real estate investor who likes to keep rental properties for a reasonable period before selling, then there is a way for you to make $125K tax-free over and above the rental income you receive. For this scenario, we will assume you are single simply because those that are married (even though you could double your tax-free income potential) would not want to do what is required.

cmps: Even the Wealthy Need Financial and Real Estate Education! - 01/24/07 12:07 PM
I was reviewing an article in the Wall Street Journal and how it highlighted the fact that even the wealthy are heading back to school to learn about how to manage their money. The article highlighted several courses at various colleges and some companies that offer specialized courses. The biggest question that arises is, "How do I know if my advisor is doing any good?" Well, I cannot speak from a real estate agent perspective, but from a mortgage planner's perspective, this shows the window of opportunity is wide open. If you do not already offer classes, seminars or something of educational
