- 10/10/09 11:36 AM
I'm going to give you a link. However, you have to promise to come back and visit after you've clicked on it and read it. Scout's honor? Okay, I'll trust you for now. Here it is. If you comprehend the written word the way I do, you're screwed. I'm kidding. It's pretty evident that there is a more than decent chance that the Tax Credit for folks buying a home is going to be extended. What does this mean? I'll tuck away any politics, agendas, opinions, or anything (though theoretically I hate not to expound my own beliefs;) dealing with nothing … (38 comments)

fha loans: When You Find The "Almost" Perfect House, But Want To Make It Home.
- 02/12/09 02:29 PM
This should lead it off quite nicely:) Back in my early days of lending, I recall quite vividly the very first Rehab Loan I did. While I did some legwork in actually knowing the ropes of that particular product before advertising the bejesus out of a very niche loan, I still was caught like a reindeer in some oncoming car's speeding headlights when trying to get them closed in a streamlined sort of fashion. And then, I had it mastered. As my particular luck would have it, most of those programs disappeared shortly thereafter. The echoes in the back of my head rang … (72 comments)

I am in the Mortgage Business, after all. Given the general atmosphere of things, if you had told me eight short years ago that … (37 comments)
fha loans: Give yourself some credit... if you are a "First-Time Homebuyer"
- 01/27/09 01:56 PM
Let's first define "First-Time Homebuyer". Actually, let's define what the heck I'm addressing in the first place. It's the First-Time Homebuyer Tax Credit. I trust you've at least heard about it and if not... no biggie... I will give you some of the talking points and the direct address to the site momentarily. The whole concept of "First-Time Homebuyer" can be a tad misleading for some of you. You are considered a first-time homebuyer (under this tax credit) if you have not owned another home at any point in time during the three years prior to the date of purchase. So what … (28 comments)
fha loans: The FYI with FHA
- 01/23/09 01:44 PM
January 1930 - There are two great dangers to the continuance of prosperity. The first is the false idea that business is still governed by a cycle of boom and depression, and the second is that the leaders of business will think that the country is broke because some of their friends are. And also there is the danger that many executives who have been playing the market instead of working will not know how to get back to real work. Samuel Crowther, The World's Work The following news is old, a bit antique in the "live feed" internet world we live … (28 comments)
