la porte county in: The Re-Emergence of Private Banking?
- 12/03/09 08:10 AM
Will there be a Re-Emergence of Private banking as a result of the Tightening Lending Milieu?
Many years ago, when Jeff’s Grandfather (bless his soul) was a business owner in Muncie, IN during tough economic times, banks were not giving out many loans.
…So, rather than go out of business….
HE became a private banker and carried the note for some of his customers (i.e. set up the terms &; conditions for re-payment at a certain interest rate over a certain period of time).
Recently, we closed on another Land Contract in which the seller, who owned … (7 comments)

- 10/06/09 04:40 AM
Serious Buyers Relocate Year Round !

With that in mind, the competition for homes priced well and staged to sell is less in Fall than in Spring when many more come on the market.
If you are having thoughts about selling your home - why wait and risk Interest rates to go up ? (less people will be able to afford your home if that happens).

la porte county in: Clock is Ticking To Find That Home if You'd Like the 1st Time Home Buyer Tax Credit
- 10/01/09 01:02 PM
Considering Buying a home in NW Indiana to take advantage of the 1st Time Home Buyer tax credit ?
Did you know this ? ......
By law, your loan cannot be completed and funded until the 8th day after your application for your mortgage has been completed and executed. Taking into consideration Sundays and Holidays (that are excluded from the 8 day count), the last day upon which your Purchase Agreement and mortgage application can be completed is November 19, 2009.
That means it's crunch time!
