Waffle House Fixation
Richard Sweum (Sterling Bank)
I have had one, and only one visit to a Waffle House, an East Coast / Old south breakfast joint franchise. It wasn't just a waffle, it was a 3am in the morning "zen like" experience. I was with some friends at a conference at a YL camp in Georgia,…

Urban Legend Mortgage Tales
Richard Sweum (Sterling Bank)
The downside of the "blogosphere" is that myth and reality are tough to separate. I remember hearing about walk-a-ways in California last winter… a borrower buying a new and bigger house, offsetting their old mortgage payment with a flimsy lease…
Five Reasons I Hate FSBO's...
Richard Sweum (Sterling Bank)
I could probably increase the list of reasons why I hate FSBO's to 20, but after having just completed my 4th FSBO this summer, here are my top 5: 5) Invariably, the purchase and sale has to be re-worked a minimum of 3 times prior to closing…
