homefinders: MOM GROCERY IN FREDERICK, MARYLAND. An exciting new "Organic" grocery. - 10/19/08 11:23 AM
MOM, My Organic Market, A FABULOUS GROCERY STORE IN FREDERICK, MARYLAND.
I took my new Toyota 4Runner into the dealership yesterday for a "hands on training session" for all of the buttons and bows on the dash. Sure, I could read the manual, but that wouldn't be any fun. Since I was about 1/2 hour early, I drove into the shopping center across Buckeystown Road from the Toyota dealership and found a new (to me) grocery store with fabulous produce.

homefinders: MUSING ABOUT MORTGAGES AND MAKING MONEY IN A MARKET MALAISE - 08/07/07 08:26 AM
MUSING ABOUT MORTGAGES, LENDERS, REAL ESTATE, AND WELL KNOWN INSIDERS.August 5, 2007. News about sub-prime mortgages and other random thoughts.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Unnamed lender says, Sub-prime - "only 80% LTV and no more."Same unnamed lender says - "no more 100% sub-prime loans." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CTX says "Alt-A loans are history." CTX says "sub-prime loans are going to FHA".
Comment: Since FHA limits are generally below the average market price in many areas, it would seem to follow that homes priced higher than the FHA limits will face a shortage of mortgage availability and drive prices lower.

homefinders: WHY I DON'T TAKE BUYER REFERRALS FROM LENDERS - A CONTRARY VIEW - 08/04/07 06:29 AM
WARNING: HARD CORE REAL ESTATE AHEAD
This is a post I probably don't really want featured. I'm inspired to write about one of the ugly sides of our business when the relationship between lenders and real estate agents is less than "arms length". The question is "Should buyer's agents accept buyer referrals from loan officers?" I say NO.
I DO NOT ACCEPT BUYER REFERRALS FROM LOAN OFFICERS. I do refer buyers to loan officers. If I am assisting a buyer with existing homes, they are probably going to meet their loan officer through me. In fact, I've referred a few buyers to ActiveRain member loan officers. One … (116 comments)

200 Year Old Fences Still Work in the Loudoun County Countryside. You can learn a lot about an area just by looking at the fences in the country side. On a tour of homes yesterday, I was detoured through the countryside from Aldie to Purcellville. A bridge wasout and that caused a detour of an extra 15 miles or so. I can thank the downed bridge for taking me through an area of Northern Virginia that I hadn't visited for some time.
