For a few weeks there have been reports that it was going to happen.  Now it is official: investors can purchase homes to rehab and their buyers can purchase them using FHA mortgages, even if the new sale occurs within 90 days.  However there are several important points to consider: If the resal...

I saw the news.  We all knew it was going to happen.  AR has reached 200,000 members.  In fact right now as I am looking at the top of the screen, it says 200,000, not 200,001 or 200,005.  Are they freezing the number at 200,000 or are we just waiting for member # 200,001 to sign up? I don't know...

There has been much news about the decision of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court in the last few days. That case set aside two foreclosures where mortgage assignments had not been done properly.  This case could have impact far beyond Massachusetts. I am re-blogging this post by a Massachu...

A few days ago I talked to a representative from NAR who informed me that there are no current cell phone providers who have a discount arrangement for NAR members.  So I have done some digging and come up with some very interesting news that might save you a few hundred dollars per year. To reca...

So now hudhomestore.com has been with us for a few months and it looks like some of the bugs are starting to get worked out.  When HMBI had the M&M responsibilities for HUD Homes in Indiana, there were at most about 700 HUD Homes available at any one time in the state.  Now there are about twice ...

The NAR has a great page on realtor.org with member benefits.  Before making a major technology or other purchase it might be good to see if there are NAR member discounts available.   But I was surprised to see that there were no discounts for cellular services listed with the NAR's member benef...
