Once Upon a Time...

 

According to one of the best in the mortgage business,

The Mortgage Cicerone

Mike's Minute was voted one of the top 20!

The Storytellers:

Mikemueller_3 Mike Mueller - A long time blogger that not only contributes at Lenderama, he maintains his own site at Mike's Mortgage Minute. His greatest asset however is his ability to use metaphors and parables to clearly explain complex issues and concepts. Mike never ceases to amaze me with his use of metaphoric devices to articulate daunting concepts...I wish he would have been my Calculus teacher in college!

Additionally, Mike is one of the good guys in the industry!

The other 19 are really the heavy hitters in the finance and real estate world.

I highly recommend reading everything they write for consumers and insiders alike!  - 

Especially, my other Storyteller (Rhonda Porter!)

I told Rhonda that I had read a couple of other "Hey I was voted top 20 posts" around the net but none showcased the other absolutely wonderful writers.  With the announcement of this list I felt validated in my having already subscribed to many of these.  I also discovered some new ones to add to the Feed Reader.

Some of these bloggers you know from here on AR - Others rarely visit.   Do yourself a favor and read their outside blogs - it's some of the finest anywhere!

Mike, congratulations on your well-deserved placed on Tony's list.  The two of you are among my favorite finance people to read.  You bring a sense of clarity to even the muddiest of mortgage issues.

Thanks for the link love!

Well deserved Mike! And you do a lot more than he even knows! Leave it to you to showcase the other 19. Just shows the type of person you really are. Congrats.  (Not having your metaphoric and parablelic ability, this is the best I can do, but the feeling is still there!!!

Congratulations Mike.  Looks like I have a lot of blogger to subscribe to.

Thank you all for all the wonderful comments.

I was deeply honored to have been chosen.  Personally I don't consider myself of the same caliber as these other 19.

I guess it comes from something I learned a long time ago. I believe strongly that there are two ways to become better at anything you want to apply yourself to. 

  1. One is to teach others who are not up to your speed to be better. 
  2. The other is to play and compete with others that are better than you. 

It's a combination of the two that produce results.

So I'm happy playing with these much better bloggers and I am very happy teaching others to become better themselves.

See, I'm just being self centered in the end.

Seriously - check each and every one of these wonderful people out.  Spend some quality time with them.  They are far and away, some the best writers out there!

That's a great list and start to a deep resource for us all.
