Posted To: Pipeline PressSometimes folks ask, "How can you spit out that mortgage & real estate commentary every day at 4AM?" I enjoy educating folks, and my attention span is pretty short so I try to keep it to a 1-2 minute read, plus I like bad jokes. Who I really feel sorry for, however, are the folks who write health magazines every month. Really, how many ways can one say, "Eat less and exercise more" in a periodical? Stay out of the sun, don't drink too much alcohol, get plenty of sleep, have a balanced diet... this really hasn't changed for hundreds, if not thousands of years, yet every month they sell magazines that tell people to do those things. Then they put a photo of someone that I will never look like on the cover of it to make me believe if I ate less and exercised more...(read more)Forward this article via email:  Send a copy of this story to someone you know that may want to read it.

The HAMP program was destined for failure from the beginning, especially in Florida where home prices have crashed 50% from the top.
The only way to save homeowners is to refinance their loans in an amount that equals current market value and to forgive the rest. Many would stay on and gladly pay off the remaining debt or, if the need arose, sell at a reasonable price and not have to beg for Short Sale approval.Via John Mulkey, Housing Guru (TheHousingGuru.com):The Home Affordable Modification Program, HAMP, has seen new trial modifications drop 90 percent since September, an indication that the beleaguered foreclosure rescue program is reaching the limits of its usefulness. Often criticized for not saving the promised millions from foreclosure, HAMP’s latest report indicates significant declines in the number of new homeowners accepted into the program and a dramatic increase in the number of trial modifications that have been rejected.
 

Here in the land of palm trees, summer afternoon gushers, and high humidity, our driveways tend to get gray with mold and mildew.
When it gets yucky enough, our kindly homeowners association sends love letters letting us know it’s time to pressure wash our driveways.
Once, I did it myself by borrowing my neighbor’s very loud pressure-washing machine. Several hours, lots of sore muscles, and a temporary case of deafness later, I realized it was way too much work and that I had etched lines into my driveway. Yep. If you make the spray too concentrated, you can permanently tattoo your driveway
Next time, I hired a professional firm. They charged $70 and finished the job in less than half an hour. No lines this time. Instead, the entire driveway was gritty with cement sand! Too many of those applications and guess what could happen? No more driveway?

You may have heard that selling a house as a Short Sale is difficult.
Short Sales can be tedious, time-consuming, and sometimes frustrating, but they’re not difficult.
Short Sales are worth all the frustration because they allow homeowners to avoid foreclosure, keep their credit from being destroyed, and move out and move on to a better future.
