"Be Sure The Complex is FHA or VA Approved!"  
Westminster, CO - How many times have you placed a property, mostly condo / townhouses, on the market without checking whether or not it is an approved complex by FHA or VA? 
It really is easy to do, if you are not paying attention to the approval lists, and NOT taking one step further to ensure they are approved.  Remember, those lists can change, they are NOT set in stone for long terms!!
We have recently come across a complex that DOES show it on the VA list, as an … (8 comments)

"Stupid Lender Rears It's Ugly Head, Again!!"   Westminster, CO -  "OH BOY", says Scott Bakula, playing "Sam" from the old TV Series, "Quantum Leap", right after his leap into a significant person for the next week's TV episode.

Yes, the Saga with the Stupid Lender Award, continues onto a slow death!!  After, about 2 months of working this lender, 21st Mortgage Corp, out of Knoxville, TN., we have concluded they are NOT with the program to negotiate in "good faith" to assist a borrower from avoiding a foreclosure.  IN FACT, they force home owners INTO FORECLOSURE, whether they are … (14 comments)

"Disgusting Lender To Watch Out For!!"  

Westminster, CO - Wow, not much to say about this organization that is GOOD or POSITIVE, when working a short sale situation for your client!!
They are called, "21st Mortgage Corp", based out of Knoxville, TN.  Their main business is to provide loans on Manufactured Housing!!   Recently, and that is probably over the last couple years, they have gotten into servicing loans.  GMAC, has been releasing their loan service business, and 21st Mortgage Corp has picked up some of that business!!
Now, here is where it gets interesting.  When you review their website … (8 comments)

January 2013 Economic Outlook for Westminster and Broomfield!!

 
In taking literary license with Charles Dickens’ opening line in A Tale of Two Cities, the 2012 Broomfield/Westminster real estate market wasn’t the best of times or the worst of times,

3,531). Attached unit sales were down 1.04% for the same time periods (669 vs. 676). The
collective market was UP 11.67% (4,698 vs. 4,207).

A Reverse Mortgage Short Sale Conclusion!!  
 
Westminster, CO -How many of you remember the TV Series, Quantum Leap, where Scott Bakula played a character named "Sam", and he would leap into other people's bodies and portray them in their era?

Whenever the show was to end, they would show Sam leap into a new body to create interest for the next TV show the following week.  Remember, what he would say, after he discovered the "new leap"?  Sam would mutter, "OH BOY!".

What does this have to do with my blog on a Reverse Mortgage conclusion?  It … (11 comments)
