mortgages: Great new loan program
- 07/21/09 05:44 AM
There is a great new loan program available for purchasing REO properties owned by Fannie Mae. A borrower needs a 660 credit score to qualify. It will allow your buyers to borrow up to 95% with no mortgage insurance. That's right, NO MORTGAGE INSURANCE! There is no need for an appraisal! This is a fantastic program that can save home buyers thousands of dollars! There are very few Lenders who can offer this new program, but I am glad to say that we are one of the few! I was so excited about this program that I had to (7 comments)

Covering most of Eastern Pennsylvania, I travel quite a bit. Driving from office , to appointments, to the office, to more appointments, to home. (well you get the idea) All of this driving time gives me time tothink. Time to think about what I need to do for my customers, time to think about great marketing ideas, and time to think about subjects to blog about.

I am trying hard to look forward (0 comments)
I enjoy playing Chess occasionally and it occurred to me that maybe I should utilize some of the principles of Chess in my career. I said that I enjoyed playing chess, however, I am not that good at the game. Average at best. The reason I don't get much better is my impatient character. I want to win yesterday. Chess is a game of strategy, moving only after thorough contemplation of the moves ahead. Too often I see what I want to do without taking into consideration of what my opponent might do.

I find that most customers remember interest rates when they were at their low point. Now they are over a percent higher. Right away they want to shop around for a better rate. I may be giving my age away here but I remember taking my 14% mortgage and refinancing it for 9.75% and I was happy! My customer came back to me to see how I compared to (10 comments)
