      <title>I Quit!</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Well... I am no longer in the mortgage business.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I decided to get into this business almost 3 years ago now.  When I got into this business I had one general goal in mind. I wanted to capitalize on my marketing and IT experience and build the most popular mortgage-related website in the Tucson area. I wanted to be #1 in the search results and the &quot;go-to guy&quot; for anyone searching for &quot;Tucson Mortgages&quot; or &quot;Refinance in Tucson&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I accomplished that goal.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, the modest amount of market-share / success that I thought would go hand in hand with my marketing goals fell seemingly well off target.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;... Of course the fact that there are only two or three people left in the general Tucson area that can either afford or qualify to buy a home might have something to do with it as well.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;Times is tough&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With that said, I will be officially turning my mortgage site over to my former (more experienced) &quot;loan partner&quot; Francine Martineau at Nova Home Loans.  If you have any loan questions from here on out, please contact Francine Martineau at (520)358-9382!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Good luck to all!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Welcome to the HARD MONEY group on ActiveRain!</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Hi,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This group provides information and discussion on private &amp;quot;hard money&amp;quot; lending. Its purpose is to help inform real estate and mortgage professionals as well as real estate investors on hard money lending. It is also intended to be a place where you can post your own hard money deals and network with other hard money lenders and borrowers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hard money loans are a great resource that can help real estate investors and developers purchase, build, or rehab all types of properties. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I invite you to post whatever questions you may have as well as any deals you are currently working on here. I also encourage other hard money lenders and investors to post your lending guidelines and advice to borrowers here.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thanks for visiting the HARD MONEY group on ActiveRain and good luck! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
