I manage a commercial builiding where two tenants have been struggling to stay current with their rent for some time. They both promise to get back on track by paying a certain amount every week so theoretically, they should catch up by the following month. They ask me to pass on … (8 comments)
Local governments are being hit with a heavy economic burden with the slowdown in residential real estate. Sizeable reductions in new home construction and demands from the state of Florida requiring local governments to cut back their budgets are taking their toll. Fewer permits being pulled for new home construction means … (0 comments)
I know that many Realtors and Consumers are all trying to get ahead in the world. I have always been a person that has made my own way in life.

There is a great debate within the inner-mortgage circles these days. Should we, as loan professionals, encourage clients to borrow as much money as possible? Or would consumers benefit more if we helped them to understand the advantages of 15-year amortization schedules and pre-paying principal? Let's examine the pros and cons … (1 comments)
Pay Yourself First: Before you spend any of your money, make a commitment to take some off the top to go towards a savings or an investment account. Do this before paying your bills or a single penny. Better yet, use your pre-tax retirement account to pay yourself before Uncle Sam … (2 comments)
