Hypothecation / Basic Money 301 - 05/27/08 06:49 PM
Over and over again the TV commercials ask: "Do you have a structured settlement? Do you have a an annuity? Do you have a land contract? Do you have a contract for deed? Do you have an incoming private note?" We'll give you the cash you need!
Ya, right! No one … (8 comments)

Memorial Day Again - 05/26/08 10:57 AM
It is said that there is no greater love than the love of those that would give their life for another. There is no one who wants to die young and violently, yet our country has never lacked for volunteers to risk their lives to protect ours.
Despite all the … (5 comments)

Creating Equity From Nothing / Revisited - 05/21/08 11:32 PM
Short sales, so many agents have discovered short sales, as if they were just invented. Many others are reluctant to get involved. More still assume they are some sort of entitlement, a right.
They're wrong! Short Sales are a tool, an old Tool! Only the name is new to ease the … (2 comments)

A Serious Question - 05/16/08 11:09 PM
A new friend writes: "How many people walked away from the homes in which they only had $500, $2,500, or $5,000 as down payment? But that's all they lost. And how many people lost their $40K, $60K and $100K?"
My reply deserves it's own post.
It's not the amount of … (10 comments)

Deliberate Deception By Government Fiat / What They Don't Tell You - 05/16/08 07:18 PM
I read a recent well intentioned blog advising that you should not select a lender or loan based on the rate! That's great advice! Rate in itself is only one side of a coin! The other side of the coin is cost! Origination and discount cost!
Loan costs come in two … (7 comments)

Comedy / Tragedy It's Not Just Classic Theater - 05/14/08 01:27 PM
It is said that life imitates art and that art imitates life.
It is certainly true in our current real estate crisis.
We are experiencing real tragedy, ironic tragedy,
being upside down on a mortgage, the loss of value in some homes.
We have comedy, in the form of … (10 comments)

Unintended Consequences / Why Are The Idiots In Charge? - 05/12/08 11:09 PM
The sun is just rising when the little old octogenarian lady climbs the ladder to the huge John Deer parked in her shed! Balanced precariously, she hooks her right arm in the grip and scowls wickedly as she fishes in her pocket for keys to the cab.
Keys she mumbles. Keys … (16 comments)

Mother / My Mother / Mature Mothers - 05/10/08 04:44 PM
Today we all remember those hart warming things from our youth, those thoughts and memoirs we share with the first woman in our lives. Everyone has them, even Joan Crawford's kids, I sure.
Many novels have been written trying to explain our Mothers! You're going to read a lot of loving … (4 comments)

Are You Knocked-up, Yet? - 05/07/08 05:44 PM
Strange question, in this foram. Isn't it? But, that's what happens when you don't know what you're doing and promiscuously fool around anyway!
"Don't lecture us! It's our right! We're entitle It's our right! We're entitled! We're entitled! We're entitled! It's our right!"
You're right! It's your right!

The Tragedy Of Connotation / My Queer Friends - 05/05/08 04:56 PM
"Connotation... an idea or feeling invoked by a word in addition to its primary or literal meaning."* "Queer >adjective... strange; odd"*
*According to my Correl Word Perfect 12 dictionary.
There are those that say our language is evolving. I say our language is devolving! Our once proud language has languished into a … (13 comments)
