To prove my point just look at what you can NOW do with Google maps!
 
About 5 years ago Google bought Keyhole and integrated their technology with Google Maps and brought us a satellite view...  You probably downloaded Google Earth back then and played around in NYC or even Dubai.  Pretty cool technology wasn't it?  Well hold on to your coffee … (3 comments)

Are REBarCamps still the "Rage"? Why? - 04/22/10 07:37 AM
 
Are ReBarCamps still the right format for this industry?  Is the we'll figure it out when we all get there meeting the BEST way to teach and learn and grow our knowledge base?
For many it is.  But others struggle with the format...
In Atlanta - they already have a great "formatted" conference with RE Tech South.  Top line speakers, high level discussions.
Is the adhoch BarCamp format something folks there will "Cotton to"??

There's been some speculation that the FED exit of the Mortgage Backed Security Market will cause a spike in Interest Rates, and a downturn in the housing market... not so says Forbes Magazine.  According to article, the exit of the FED is not going to HELP the Housing Market... but they point to encouraging signs that should keep us from going into that dreaded second dip.
 
The FED is not likely to SELL all of those Mortgage Backed Securities anytime soon.  The sale will likely be the next thing that causes mortgage rates to SPIKE.  We've had a 1/4 to … (5 comments)

The USDA Home Loan Shuffle - Are they running out of Money??? - 04/06/10 03:11 PM
A little birdie told us last month that USDA Rural Economic was going to run out of money... and Wells Fargo, and probably some other banks too, stopped taking any USDA Home Loan Applications. (click here for more details)
At the time... we were using about 100 million dollars in USDA Home Loans a Day from the line, and at that rate, it looked like we would run out by April 17th, 2010.
Once they ran out, we were told... the program might change, or maybe there would be a next Tax Credit Extension... or maybe Congress would just give them … (5 comments)

The New York Times did an Optimistic Opt Ed piece today that had me thinking of material I recently learned at RETSO and from Jason Ryan Dorsey the Gen Y Guy.  The Times piece says that, "the fact is, despite all the problems, America’s future is exceedingly bright!"
There are multiple reasons for this "positive" outlook, including:
In 2050, only 25% of the US population will be over 60.  That's right, Gen Y loves the idea of large family - and unlike other nations, the expectation that this desire for large families along with continued immigration will add 100 million to our … (8 comments)
