Hello Everyone,
 
We have a couple spots open tomorrow from 11:30- 12:30 tomorrow for what we are calling “Twitter Thursday”…. This is our first informal meeting going over setting up a twitter account and managing that account for our Real Estate business. This is no cost but please come with your laptop if possible and have a couple ideas of a “twitter name” mine is “fund4u” but I think I will be changing it to BillBlax as I have recently found out that name recognition is valuable on twitter.

Boob Job is a deduction... or is it an increase? - 04/15/09 09:44 PM
Hello Everyone,
Hope your tax day is going well….So I heard last night on TV that a stripper claimed a “boob job” (Can I say that on my daily report?) on her taxes and when audited she was able to keep the deduction! (or was it an increase?)     Work related expenses I guess … Who would have known?
 
No worries here as I have an extension- I was once told that those with extensions are 60% less risk of an audit! So I think I am going to wrap my arms around that and use it for my excuse. It … (0 comments)

FHA Credit Policy Changes- What I did on my Easter Weekend! - 04/12/09 08:41 PM
Hello,
 

 
I hope you good Friday is off to a wonderful start. Things have been a little chaotic this week as business is booming but we have seen constant changes with lenders guidelines and I just wanted to share items that we as lenders are required to deal with on a daily basis.

I wish you all a wonderful Easter weekend and make … (0 comments)
