I have a major obsession and passion with the Plumeria (also known as frangipani) plant or tree as it's turned out to be on my property. Having had the opportunity to surf and travel througout many of the Tropical Islands, Mexico and the Southwest US I couldn't help but notice this beautiful and fragrant plant growing along the shoreline and in the tropical forests everywhre. So about ten years ago I began collecting and propagating various Plumaria species throughout the world. It's definitely one of the most passionate and … (2 comments)
mortgage: The Good Ole "GOLDEN RULE" & "KARMA" The Best "Code of Ethics" Ever
- 01/01/10 05:35 AM
Reading AR member's posts everyday gives me the fodder, inspiration and incentive for so many of my posts. I'm very happy I joined the AR community and have really created some great long distance friends and relationships. I read a bunch of posts this morning as I do every morning because it gives me insight into our industry and the psychology and philosophy that drives it.

But isn't this all just plain ole … (4 comments)
What Are You Doing New Years...........New Years Eve.......? Remember that song? You'd be surprised how few people still remember that tune.

I converted it into a "Surf Van" with fish net, cork floats and old glass balls adorning … (4 comments)

mortgage: Manufactured Home Loans: What's the Difference Between a Personal Loan and a Mortgage Loan?
- 05/11/09 04:39 AM
Manufactured homes are an interesting animal to be sure. It is the only form of housing that can either be classified as Personal Property or Chattel (like a car) or Real Property (like a regular site-built home) and how the distinction is determined can be confusing. To be considered real property, the owner of the manufactured home must also own the land upon which the home sits. Even when the homeowner owns the land, he/she may choose to title each separately---the home as personal property and the land as realty. However, if one wants to secure an FHA-insured mortgage loan, the … (3 comments)
