jeffbelonger: RUMOR ALERT..... 100% loans fading/non-existent.... but are they? - 03/13/07 10:22 PM
So, 100% loans are just about out of the picture now? I read this particular blog here on Active Rain today, No More 100% Loans. For lack of better words, this fueled my fire for writing this post. And reading the comments, some are now mislead, because of what they read.

In some parts of the country, winter was mild. But in others, they actually had more snow in a shorter time period than usual. Is the housing market slow in your area because of past and or current weather conditions? Better or worse than last year? What did you see this

Russian roulette ..... okay, so we aren't using guns here in this example. But who is actually pulling the trigger per se? You or the lender? Lisa Hammerstein had written to me last week asking if I could explain why so many clients are pursuing 100% financing. I thought,

Understanding people and connecting with them can seem hard at times. Especially when that client seems that they think they know what's best for them and just wants to hear what they want to hear. Example: I had a client the other day that apparently was shopping his mortgage around and
