fha: Do you have a Tiger in your Tank?? - 05/26/09 09:25 AM
They say a picture speaks a 1000 words, but seriously, how do your words paint the picture?
 

 
Since being on Active Rain, and commenting on MANY people's blogs, it has become increasingly disturbing to me the trend I am noticing!  That trend is the KNOW IT ALL vs. THE DEFENSIVE MECHANISM trend! 
 It has always been my understanding that blogging served several purposes, but none of them were related to the ongoing BATTLE I am seeing both on AR and other networks!
How did we reverse this trend you ask? Well, maybe we need to "tame" the Tiger … (25 comments)

fha: MY FIRST 6 MONTHS WITH AR! Remember, "Rock em Sock em Robots?" - 05/02/09 10:22 PM
Well, after my first 6 months witih Active Rain, I thought I might share my questions, comments, observations, suggestions, problems, antics, and issues that I have encountered in a very short period of time!

So far, my overall impression of ACTIVE RAIN, is that it is a "combination" of 145,000 people all playing "rock em sock em robots".  It is BLUE (ego) vs. Red (actual working knowledge).  The Mortgage / Realestate Industry has a way of "pitting" people against each other!  Good or bad, we have to work smarter not harder, and ALWAYS be open to suggestion and be willing to … (15 comments)

fha: Holding Fellow Lenders to a higher standard! Misinformation is the leading candidate for confusion! - 02/06/09 11:36 AM
Today, I am furious!  
Why you ask??  Well, let me tell you EXACTLY WHY!!   
 
                  
 
The hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil, moronic monkeyman posts I have been reading lately are ticking me off!  Why??  Because I spend all day responding to comments, posting and reposting the correct information, and more importantly trying to "RAISE THE BAR" within our industry! For YEARS, we lenders have blamed REALTORS, the liberal news media and others for our OWN mistakes!  NOW, today, I completely understand why!  My friends and I that are in a small group here … (16 comments)

fha: Steve the Plumber! GREAT QUESTION!!!! Follow up PART 1 on if PMI is Evil or not?? PMI companies are driving the loan industry! Great rates in Wisconsin! - 12/26/08 05:01 PM
First off, this is a question I received from "Steve" that really had some meaning for me!  I was going to blog on something else, but this did more for me creative juices today than anything else!  I am posting his question, my brief reply, and THEN, what I found out from MGIC customer service!  Steve asked some fantastic questions, and raised a concern for me as well!!  Please read!  Thanks...btw it is in response to this blog:  http://activerain.com/blogsview/833748/Mortgage-Insurance-Evil-or-not-Radian-picked-a-heck-of-a-time-to-be-naughty-PMI-or-piggy-back
 
I thought PMI is insurance, paid by the borrower, to protect the lender in case the loan goes into default?  Why aren't these … (3 comments)
