mortgages: Enough Is Enough, This Has Got To STOP !
- 01/08/16 03:46 AM
I am the wife of a retired law enforcement officer and what happened in Philadelphia is just plain unacceptable. This won't be a posting in regard to a new mortgage program so if that is what you were looking for, please move to the next page. This is an expression of my outrage. Maybe you have seen the photos or the video on your evening news and you know what I am talking about. For those that don't, a Philadelphia Police Officer was driving his Philadelphia Police car down the street at 11:30 at night and an individual came … (3 comments)

- 01/06/16 04:06 AM
Isn't it amazing how one thing can have so many names ? Why is that ? It's all about marketing. Every vendor wants to get your attention no matter what you call the thing you are looking for so they create as many possible names for it as they can. The title of this blog is an exaggerated example. I am in a business where I have to market myself but I'm not that much into the hype and splendor of it all. I try to market myself as a hard working, dedicated professional that has my client's … (1 comments)
mortgages: Important Mortgage Warning For Self Employed Individuals
- 01/06/16 02:55 AM
As a Mortgage Loan Originator, I deal with folks of all different income brackets and lifestyles. Yes, some of us remember the old TV show, "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" where people made big incomes and lived in big houses and drove fancy cars. But getting a mortgage is a whole different ball game. Appearances alone aren't enough. For people with higher incomes, they commonly use their income in ways that can be deducted or "written off" on their annual Income Tax forms. As a result, their tax burden is lower and they get to keep more … (6 comments)

mortgages: We were tested, and we failed. We will do better. I promise.
- 12/22/15 07:02 PM
A few weeks ago, one of our Regional Managers sent a friend of his to the bank to check out our customer service. He had been given my name to talk to about a mortgage. The gentleman walked into one of our branch offices and announced to a teller that he was there to see Deanna Early. Of course, the Regional Manager hadn't told anyone, especially me, that this gentleman would be coming in or when. When he said he was there to see me, the teller assumed I had set an appointment and called my office phone to … (10 comments)

- 12/18/15 10:16 AM
I, myself, am a military brat. That's right, I said it and I am proud of it. Both my mother and father were members of the United States Air Force. In return for their service, they have received many benefits. Among those benefits, veterans have special home mortgage loan programs through the VA. If you are a veteran of the United States military, first of all, let me say THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. Without our veterans and current service members protecting this country, we would not have the rights and privileges we all enjoy every day. … (4 comments)

mortgages: Yes folks, the force awakens
- 12/17/15 05:33 AM
The Federal Reserve Bank raised the interest rates this week. Not that the Federal Reserve actually controls interest rates on mortgages and refinances directly but their actions bring about an expected response from lenders. After nine years of zero percent rates, yes folks, the force awakens. Now I don't intend to infringe upon or take any of the glory away from a certain movie that is opening today. I also don't expect people to be camped out in my parking lot waiting to get in the door ahead of everyone else. At the same time, we must acknowledge that this … (2 comments)
