Let me ask you a question.  Am I the only one who is sick and tired of the mainline media giving us nothing but bad news about the economy?  I know I know we are in a terrible position right now and as a mortgage consultant I believe I am part of the problems that we currently have but come on.  I don’t know about you but I am ready for the press and TV to back off and start looking at some positives. 

You would think based on what you hear that no banks are offering any loans at all but I can tell you on a personal note September was one of my busiest months of the year; October already looks like a banner month with my team about to close close to six million dollars in loans. 

There are plenty of excellent borrowers out right now looking at all the great deals that are available.   I meet and talk with many top realtors that are having very successful years.  It is about time that we stop listening to all the negative press and start focusing on the positives out there.

Foreclosures – Short sales; what a great opportunity for buyers.

Builders – Offering incredible deals to their customers.

Sellers – Take a little less for your home because you will get a great deal when you buy!

Come on guys – If you are a mortgage guy or a real estate agent stand up and be proud and get out there.  Let’s make the most of what we have. 

Do what you can, where you are, with what you have.
