Off to an adventure in Oregon - 08/22/10 09:14 PM
Last summer my husband bought a motor cycle.  This wasn't a snap decision by any means.  I had dragged my feet on him buying one for several years.  I had heard all the horror stories of accidents on motorcycles and I wasn't real sure I wanted my husband riding a cycle back and forth to work each day.  But once I said yes, he was looking through Craig's list with a passion.  It took him about 2 days to find a good "deal"  and off he went to to check it out.  Our neighbor a long time Goldwing fan went with him for … (0 comments)

FHA Update - 08/14/10 02:55 PM
Good basic information about FHA changes coming soon.
Via Doug Reynolds (Prudential):
HUD has confirmed that after 10/04/2010 FHA guidelines will change & the monthly PMI (private mortgage insurance) factor will increase to .85% - .90% (from .55%) but the Up Front PMI (which can be financed back into the loan) will be reduced to 1.0% (from 2.25%).
 
These results will increase a buyers payment, so if you are a buyer whose going to just squeeze by with your payments for a price range, now is probably better to get a quality offer written.  Otherwise, when the new guidelines hit, you'll have to look … (0 comments)

Eating out in Salem, OR - 08/04/10 05:35 PM
My husband and I recently went on a date in Salem, OR and were amazed at several restaurants were were not aware of.  One restaurant that we used to go to all the time was Jonathan's .  We used to go there alot when we were younger and just got out of the habit.  They are now located on High Street near the Elsinore.  We had a lovely prime rib meal that was very relaxed and slow paced.  Just the kind of Friday evening we were looking for.  We even splurged and split a piece of mud pie, our favorite.  After that … (0 comments)
