This is an annual event here in Spokane (they also do it in other parts of the country) to raise money for MDA. It is a charity aimed at children with life changing medical problems. They do not actually lock you up anymore, they used to put you in a "cage" at the mall. Now it looks like we will be in a banquet room and until we raise bail or the day is over we do not go home. Here in Spokane the money goes mainly to fund things like the Shriners Children Hospital. To benefit area families affected by neuromuscular disease. With your help, MDA provides a comprehensive program of services including assistance with the purchase of wheelchairs and leg braces, support groups, clinic visits, diagnostic work and genetic counseling as well as a week-long summer camp program for youngsters with neuromuscular diseases. Here is the link to learn more about the charity www.mda.org
I just signed up for this years "Lock Up" And I am challenging everyone in the real estate profession to dig out just one dollar and help these kids. The MDA and Jerrys kids have done some amazing things and it wouldn't be possible without generous donations from people like you. Imagine if we all gave one dollar what that would amount to and how many kids could be helped. A dollar doesn't buy much these days but it could sure add up if we each gave one. Thank you in advance for your time and donations to this awesome cause

Your donation is my key to freedom! Be proud of the fact that together we're providing help and hope to kids and adults served by MDA in our community.
New Loan Lending Rules Take Effect October 1, 2008
On July 15, the nation's central bank issued new lending rules which will take effect October 1, 2008. The rules will apply to all lenders, not just those regulated by the central bank.
"Rates of mortgage delinquencies and foreclosures have been increasing rapidly lately, imposing large costs on borrowers, their communities and the national economy," Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said as he opened a meeting of the Federal Board, which approved the new rules.
The new regulations target the subprime mortgage market, which has been largely unregulated because the loans are secured and held by private investors. Subprime mortgages, designed to make loans available to borrowers with low incomes or poor credit, carry above-market interest rates to compensate investors for the added risk of default.
For subprime loans, the new rules will:
Prohibit lenders from lending to borrowers who cannot repay the loan from income and assets other than a home's value.
Require lenders to verify a borrower's income and assets.
Ban prepayment penalties for the first four years of any adjustable-rate subprime mortgage; other subprime mortgages could have no prepayment penalties for two years.
Require lenders to establish escrow accounts for property taxes and homeowner insurance for all first-lien mortgages.
For all mortgages, prime and subprime, the new rules will:
Prohibit seven misleading advertising practices, including representing that a rate or payment is "fixed" if it will change over the course of the loan.
Prohibit advertising in which different loans are compared unless all payments and rates are also disclosed.
Prohibit foreign-language mortgage ads in which required disclosures are presented in English.
Prohibit a lender from encouraging or coercing an appraiser to misrepresent a home's assessed value.
Require lenders to credit borrowers' payments on the day of receipt.
Prohibit so-called "pyramiding" of late fees.
Require a lender to provide a payoff statement within a reasonable amount of time.
Require a good-faith estimate of all loan costs and payments within three days of an application for any loan secured by a home's value, including home equity loans and refinancings of the original mortgage.
The rules "are intended to protect consumers while keeping credit available to qualified borrowers and supporting sustainable homeownership," Bernanke said.

Everyone is always pushing for a home inspection on the purchase of a home. While I do agree that this is a useful practice and a good idea, I wonder why more professionals do not make consumers more informed about the benefits of a home warranty. A home warranty generally covers most of the items included in a home inspection but for a little more it will pay (minus a small deductible) to fix whatever goes wrong. A good home warranty will cover almost everything in the house as well ~ appliances, fixtures, & water heater. As often as I recommend these to homebuyers and homeowners, most people have never heard of such a concept. You can even pay an extra premium with most companies to cover things like the air conditioner and the septic tank! This is also a great tool for sellers. Buyers will feel more comfortable that if anything goes wrong in their new dream house it will be covered. There are even a few companies out there that will give you a free home inspection or a few extra months if you are a seller obtaining a warranty. You can also get discounts for seniors, military, and professional discounts. I hope you will be motivated to look deeper into the value of a home warranty in addition to your inspection, and feel the piece of mind that accompanies! Realtors ~ Home warranty agents can set you up with ad packages to help you get the word out about what they offer in their particular warranty and it will help you get your name out as a responsible customer oriented professional.
