Expedited Short Sales Posted on June 13, 2012 by sourcecapital New rules expedite short sales in San Francisco and throughout California.

You learn something every day! Until reading the CNN Money article at the link below, I had no idea that there was such a large number of short sales in California being attempted. Also surprising to me was how many of these attempted short sales have been falling through due to the delayed response times of involved lenders.
Instead of successful short sales, these slower short sale transactions are going into foreclosure. To combat this severe situation, new rules … (0 comments)

Thank you to all who have served and those that continue to serve.

I am looking forward to going to a barbecue at my neighbor’s house later on. Time with family and friends can be wonderful, especially when we all get along.

Understanding what our service men and women do everyday without question, has made me greatly appreciate them and the sacrifices they make.
It’s not about being for or against war. It’s about supporting fellow mankind. Memorial Day is intended to be a time of remembrance. Reflecting and honoring those that … (0 comments)

You never know who will be a star.

Tonight we learned that San Diego sweetheart, Jessica Sanchez was the runner up and  Phillip Phillips of Leesburg, Georgia was crowned the winner of American Idol. In its eleventh season, this popular show has made many a star and not all of them came in first place. In fact, many of the best known contestants did not win. Clay Aiken was the runner up of season two and Jennifer Hudson actually came in  seventh in the third season. Although neither won the show’s title, they remain two of the biggest household … (0 comments)

It's okay to talk about money and lack of money.

We have all learned that certain things are okay to talk about and others are not. Bad credit is a topic that seems to carry a certain amount of shame that can cause discomfort in the course of conversation. In actuality, most of us have experienced some type of financial struggle or credit glitch. I don’t have statistics for you. I just know so many people, me included that have had one or more of the following. Anyone in these situations should rest assured they are not alone.

Mom's take on unbelieveable challenges, but the rewards are so worth it!

Sunday is Mother’s Day. Being a parent is, in my opinion one of the most challenging jobs on the planet. With all challenges, also come rewards.

They would undoubtedly share how every challenge they have had to face with their children has been worth it.
I’m not a parent, unless you count my beautiful dog Ginger. Then I am a very involved mom for sure! I … (2 comments)
