&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A.&lt;/strong&gt; MMA is a multi level  marketing scam where they sell access to a website for $3500. They have  unlicensed agents pretending to be experts in financing. They sell a horrible  product and scam people for their money. There is no limit to how low they will  go. Ponzi scheme. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/table&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A.&lt;/strong&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;THE KEY TO Making a success in todays market is to have systems. If you have  no clearly defines systems for success you are going to be out of the business  before you know it.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Go to my web site at &lt;a href="http://www.brettnoel.com/"&gt;www.Brettnoel.com&lt;/a&gt; and get free information  to help you increase your business&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Non-member  response&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br&gt;Submitted 09/16/07 02:41 PM  Brett thank you for your insight. I strongly agree with you. Success is made up  of systems. Unless you can create one, it makes sense to join a system, (aka  franchise is a system that people purchase - or network marketing system) I  would like to sare this with you and if you think it makes sense then great - as  a trainer bot you and I are responsible for helping people understand things.  People are afraid of network marketing because they do not understand it. Just  because someone doesnt understand it doesnt mean it doesnt work. A netork market  is one that does not pay for advertising, but insead pays our that money that  would be used in advertising to the agents. Lookup what a "Ponzi scheme is" - it  is not network marketing. Ponzi traded peoples money in a pyramid fashion where  there was no product or service. This is illegal. He went to jail. This also is  slightly different than a MLM (multi-level marketing) because you do not have to  purchase the product to be a part of the network. MMA is a "system" which  facilitates the payoff of debts through the use of an "Open-Ended" credit line.  This practice hs been in use in Europe and Australia for decades... the rich of  our country as well as corporations have employed this practice as well. I  employ you to do your reasearch. I do use this program with my clients and my  family and it DOES work. The financial principles used in this system can be  used outside of it, but the online software really does facilitate it in a way  which is very easy and simple for anyone to use, as well as payoff the debts in  the quickest way without guesswork. Everyone that Ive seen, and I have seen a  few, who has tried to save the $3500, normally end up costing themselves more  because they cannot do what the system does. The agents are not acting as  financial experts. It is illegal to represent investment advice without a  correct license. They are independent softward agents. They do not offer  investment advice. They do not offer LOAN advice. They input the customers  debts, figures and such and the program does the rest. This is an opportunity.  Opportunbities knock, it is up to you to answer or not. I did, and I am excited  are this program because it is rewarding! Clients love to know this stuff!  People are tired of being in debt! People pay for services. People pay tax  accountants to do what they "could" do for themselves for free. People pay  realtors what they "could" do for themselves for free. This is a "PROVEN"  system. THis also "GUARANTEES" results or the customer receives the money back.  Numbers DONT LIE! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbWl1XkvZsc Search YouTUBE for  "MMA Money Merge Account Accelerated Mortgage"  &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Answer  #4&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br&gt;Submitted 09/17/07 12:18 AM  &lt;table border="0" width="100%"&gt; &lt;tbody&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td width="90"&gt;

&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A.&lt;/strong&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I recently discovered the MMA opportunity and let me tell you that the  consumer is ready for a tool that will help all of us. The use of our hard earn  money working for us is a great new concept. I have met people who have use this  program and are very happy with it. I represent the program myself with great  pride. It is not often that a system comes along that is innovative and help the  consumer keep their goal in front of their eyes so they don't loose their aim. I  see it as an educational tool, it help us see where our money goes, and in the  process help us make better decision on our big purchases.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I have clients rave about this program, it is so nice to call your clients  with the result of the analysis. I agree that you can't help everyone, and the  ones we can help have wonderful outcomes. It help clients visualize a mortgage  free future therefore helping them keeping the end result in sight.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Thank you Brett, for recognizing the value of this program everything you  said an much more. I am so grateful to see my clients faces when they see what  this program can help them achieve. I am a raving fan myself, want to know more  contact me&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Non-member  response&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br&gt;Submitted 09/18/07 12:52 PM  I'd like to see this post continue... who else has heard of some great  successes. We don't want to hear people with negative attitudes... go an try it  ---- THE RESULTS ARE GUARANTEED! This is What I've Found the Program Cannot Do:  1. MAGIC - can't do magic, doesn't make money dissapear, not the banks, not the  clients, magic isn't the basis of this products... numbers are 2. This program  works ONLY for those who WORK with it. Just like excercise and diet... you work  with program you get results... 3. This program does not operate on its OWN! -  It is an inanimate OBJECT - without INPUT... it cannot OUTPUT 4. This program is  EASIER to use than it is to EXPLAIN 5. Does not work for everyone - you do need  sometimes a LARGE OPEN ENDED LINE OF CREDIT - this does NOT have to be a  HELOC... It can also be a Business Line of Credit - Ive even see someone use  their own CREDIT CARDS to START this program... CALL ME OR EMAIL ME WITH INFO ON  HWO YOU CAN GET CLIENTS RAVING!!!!!! I PROMISE YOU RESULTS OR I WILL PAY FOR  YOUR FEE. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Whats the problem with the market? - from a Lender</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;First of all, let me start by saying - who cares about opinions and viewpoints... when HUGE - SCARY - FACTS are staring at us all in our bright red embarrassed faces like so many deer in headlights.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For those of you who keep track of such things on ml-implode.com -&amp;nbsp; 135 lenders have ceased operations in one way or another since this market meltdown began. This is unprecedented. Let that sink in.&amp;nbsp; Go speak to the elderly people you know best, who went through the last depression, see if it had a lasting impression on them.&amp;nbsp; OK - and moving on.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why did this happen?&amp;nbsp; &lt;/strong&gt;go do your research, come to your own conclusion - point the finger wherever you feel appropriate but all most likely are to blame.&amp;nbsp; Banks? yes!&amp;nbsp; Brokers? Yes!&amp;nbsp; Realtors? Yes! Investors? Yes!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;When will it be over? &lt;/strong&gt;Its over when the investors who back the money in this country say its over.&amp;nbsp; Bad business practices prevail in a market that is overheated with greed and the prospect of making too-much money.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Will it ever go back to normal? &lt;/strong&gt;Actually - this is, believe it or not, going back to normal.&amp;nbsp; What I mean by that is historically speaking the market we are falling out of has been extremely abnormal. Historically low rates... combined with imaginary qualifying...combined with overinflated values... you get the drift.&amp;nbsp; Looking back on lending practices, it was always normal for a homeowner to put a substantial amount down.&amp;nbsp; We have had abnormally high percentage of homeowners as well. Do your research.&amp;nbsp; Even FHA since the 1930s has always required money down, and its system has been succesful and greatly unchanged.&amp;nbsp; Home values have never before increased as they had.&amp;nbsp; So it makes sense if you belive in cause and effect - that things in a "system" will normally balance themselves out. Currently home values have never deflated this much since the 1930s.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What to expect? &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Expect inventory times to DOUBLE or MORE.&amp;nbsp; In a recession people are not making more and more money even though inflation is increasing. Less and less qualified buyers. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Expect many more foreclosures - many more. We are in the ICEBERG stage with 70-80% still unseen&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Expect strict lending guidelines and complete removal of certain loan programs.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Expect no more stated loans except on low LTV exceptional credit non-first time buyers&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Expect rates to IMPROVE! Rates move the opposite of the economy in most instances, and we have already begun seeing a lowering of rates in certain aspects.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Expect less qualified buyers as credit guidelines tighten, and as credit bureaus adopt new credit scoring models&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Expect less people in the business... I know you're smiling.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Expect to see more and more associations formed to the benefit of clients&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Expect to see a RIPPLE effect touching nearly every aspect of the economy&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Expect to see civil and federal legal action from every angle for years to come. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Expect people who understand interest rates, lending practices and credit to rule. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What can I do?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Learn your job better and better every day.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Keep the clients long term goals in the forefront of every transaction.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Always be upfront and truthful - You will never have a client complain if you tell them the truth either. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Learn to keep up with trends and data which may be influential in your clients goals&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Learn the basics of QUALIFYING - qualifying = being able to afford the property from the lenders viewpoint - all lending is risk-based.&amp;nbsp; Here is an easy one - ask your client how much they make in a month, add their spouse or other household members.&amp;nbsp;  Divide in half.&amp;nbsp; That will give you a rough estimate of what maximum they can afford as a monthly payment including all their mortgage payments, property taxes, insurance, credit cards, car payments etc.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Learn how to help your client BUILD EQUITY!&amp;nbsp; EQUITY is king in a declining market.&amp;nbsp; Everyone should have their mortgage paid off in their lifetime.&amp;nbsp; HELP them to do this! I will show you how, just contact me.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Learn to change - and change quick.&amp;nbsp; Do not rely on one type of client, one type of business, one specialty.&amp;nbsp; Ask any subprime "specialist".&amp;nbsp; Ask anyone who advertised "no crediT? no problem!" "No money down, no job verification!"&amp;nbsp; Those days are over, if you haven't adapted yet, then you are just waiting for your career to die because it already stopped breathing.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;LOOK FOR OTHER OPPORTUNITIES!&lt;/li&gt;
