Mr. President,
We need your help! Please make this a priority. We need you to get legislation passed which will ban cash buyers, unless of course no one else wants to buy the property.
Think about it;
First, you're telling everyone how bad things are and here's all these investors running … (2 comments)

Reminds me of John Lennon; "Power to the People," I can hear the music and John singing in my head. For some of you, you are just not old enough to remember John singing this. At that time, it was a protest type song.
Well in today's world Active Rain has … (7 comments)

I've read a few blogs recently about returning phone calls. It made me think about the good olde days, you know, before voice mail.
Oh, how did we ever survive?
So what I'd like you to do right now is stop for a few minutes and think about how you feel … (12 comments)

ft myers: "What's the Rate?" - 08/26/09 10:53 AM
Why is this the first question that potential customers ask? Actually it's quite simple. In most cases they don't know what else to ask.
This use to be a fairly easy question to answer. I'd really only need some basic information such as primary residence or investment property, FHA or VA, … (2 comments)

ft myers: Introducing "the Worry Free Mortgage" - 12/17/08 10:33 AM
The "Worry Free Mortgage" sounds pretty good, but can there really be such a thing?
Well, I'll let you decide, and remember nothing's perfect, so be nice.
What makes it "worry free" you may ask?
Good Question!
It's basically a first time homebuyers program, but remember in the mortgage business … (2 comments)

ft myers: The Bailout-Truly ABSURD!!! - 10/04/08 09:08 AM
Webster's
absurd; ridiculous
That's a good fit to describe the bailout.
I'd just like to share a few Tasty Tibits from CNNMoney's "Special Report,"
Bailout:Will it Work?
Just my opinion, but we should have known THIS before we passed a $700 Billion piece of legislation, don't you think?
Get this;

ft myers: Forced to Listen!!! - 09/30/08 09:08 AM
If the elections weren't so close the bailout would have passed. There's little doubt in my mind.
Fortune reports that calls to Congressional offices are running overwhelmingly against the bailout plan.
Because of the upcoming elections our elected reperesentatives were;
Forced to Listen!
That's if they would like to continue to … (9 comments)

Okay, you've gotta know. You hopefully didn't just pull this number, 700 Bil, out of thin air, or did you?
So who gets what? How about a little breakdown. Let's just start with the top 5.

Okay, you've got a customer who needs a loan BIG TIME!
I mean that they're on their last leg.
They've made some really, really bad financial decisions, so they won't qualify for a loan through conventional/traditional sources.
They're defaulting or soon will be defaulting on their financial responsibilities.
It's questionable as … (4 comments)

ft myers: Families Losing Homes & The Reckless Media - 09/12/08 09:21 AM
CNNMoney.com reports that 91,000 families lost their homes in August. I really have no foundation, nor concrete data to make this statement, but I think that's BS!
Here's why.
Let's start with a definition;
family- parents and their children; all those decended from a common ancestor, lineage
I have dealt with quite … (5 comments)

Has anyone ever heard of a gentleman named James Lockhart?
Probably not!
Mr. Lockhart is the head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, and he is now the overseer, man in charge of Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac. Should we be happy about this? Do you feel comfortable now knowing that … (0 comments)

I wanted to wait a few days to see if my initial reaction would stand the test of time. I certainly believe at this time that it will.
We have two basic and conflicting beliefs here in my opinion.

If you want to be a naysayer and whine about the market just stay away from the bus driver (Jay Lagace) and Robin Whitt. They are not listening and they just don't want to hear it. I think their message to the world is to take that attitude somewhere else.
So, … (6 comments)

Yesterday the gov updated the second quarter GDP report to show;
the economy grew at a 3.3% clip.
That's pretty good!
Generally, it is perceived that a rate of growth between 2.5% and 3.5% means the economy is healthy.
Okay, we had the stimulas checks, and may I add that they … (9 comments)

I'm beginning to wonder when or if you can trust the national media. Early this morning, 7:30 AM to be exact, it seemed if there wasn't a major story, that they would try to make one.

Well we didn't get hit by a tropical storm or hurricane today but we really got wacked by our normal mid afternoon thunder and lightning storm. That means we had moonsoon type rain for awhile.
