"A housing recovery will probably begin within a year or so. In any event, it is certain to occur at some point," Buffett wrote. While not mentioned in the letter, he's previously explained his rationale for an impending housing rebound: More than a million households are formed every year, yet current housing starts average less than half that amount. Demand is catching up with supply. Simple. Another housing story: "Home ownership makes sense for most Americans, particularly at today's lower prices and (14 comments)

If you are a home owner who faces losing your home and you have received a notice of foreclosure from your lender, it may not be too late to save your credit from a FORECLOSURE!
If you have tried a loan modification with no success, your next best step might be a short sale.
Think of this: If the bank forecloses on your house, you’re going to have to move, right?
So, if you sell (short sale) you will have to move as well. Often times, a short sale may postpone (3 comments)
Watching the History Channel during my workout this week, there was a special on Andrew Jackson, “Old Hickory.”
One occasion in 1804, the sheriff was afraid to apprehend a gentleman who was in contempt of court, Russell Bean. Jackson, a judge at the time, asked the sheriff to summons him as deputy.
Judge Jackson trailed the outlaw and found him carrying two guns and approached him directly, Jackson’s gun drawn.
The outlaw surrendered and Jackson was successful in apprehending him .
Days later, the outlaw, Russell Bean, was asked why (7 comments)

Where the Values are clear, Decisions are easy… I often hear of issues that arise between agents or disputes between customers and clients, and it truly saddens me. In the Preamble of our Realtor Code of Ethics, it refers to the Golden Rule. “So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.” Matthew 7:12

idaho short sales: I received a 1099-c from my lender, what do I do with it?
- 02/11/11 03:11 PM
Idaho Short Sales- What IRS Form do I use for forgiven debt? Many Idaho home sellers were able to avoid foreclosure by going through the short sale process. Often times, the short sale lender will issue the home seller a 1099-c form. This information must be reported on your annual income tax return. For most home owners who short sold their primary residence, this forgiven debt may be non-taxable. It is important to consult your tax professional or attorney for taxation issues. The Debt Forgiveness Act of 2007 offers forgiveness of income tax for forgiven debt to most home (7 comments)
More often than not, I have clients and customers tell me their attorney tells tem to just file bankruptcy and let the lender foreclose on the house.
WHAT!?
This is unbelievable to me! I have asked several attorneys why they think this. I believe they don’t realize the credit impact a foreclosure can possibly have on a client’s ability to buy another home in the future.
Currently, on the standard 1003 loan application form, there is a question about foreclosure or deed in lieu of. This must be (14 comments)

idaho short sales: Illuminating Technology... Keeping us Bright!
- 01/26/11 02:57 PM
I first heard that L.E.D. stood for “little electronic doo-dad.” It has been amazing to see L.E.D. technology come to the forefront of everyday use in electronics and even household items!
The true definition of the L.E.D. acronym is “Light Emitting Diode.”
For Christmas, I received a package of smaller L.E.D. flashlights that simply amazed me! I have retired my larger old traditional flashlights.
I was shocked by the small size and how bright the flashlight shown! I now keep a small L.E.D. flashlight in the console of my car & use it often during these short, dark, (7 comments)
Tonight, as usual, I asked this prospective seller where they got my name and number. They emphatically said, “From the Internet!”
I asked further to know what keywords, etc. and they couldn’t remember. They said they read some reviews and did some research and came up with me and my website.
The only reviews I can think of would be the client testimonials that I have on my site.
I continue to receive over 1,000,000 hits on my website each month with over 30,000 visits! I (12 comments)
