I can't find the article but it was out yesterday. Gov program that allows you to refinance if you are up to 110% of appraised value of your home to a lower rate in the 4.75% range.

Call your lender that holds your loan or give HUD's help line a call.

My business has been slowly turning around since the beginning of the year... I closed 3 deals last week alone and I'm hiring sales and recruiters to support the needs....

I spoke to a renovation and marble guy at the Mahopac run Saturday. He said he's having one of his best years so far...

I'm optomistic!

2 years ago it was how much you could sign for and borrow from the bank. Now its how much money do you really have.

And then reality set in!

It's not necessarily a bad thing from my perspective... We don't need people buying boats, cars and RV's on equity lines or using them as personal checking accts..

Here's another thing to keep in mind. 96% of home loans written in the 1st quarter were government in some way FHA, FNMA, FHLMC.

At some poin they have to cut off the unlimited line to Fannie and Freddie and right now there is no private market anymore so I think real estate will not get better for a very, very long time.

Pretty much most of what people called "the good times" last decade. Smoke and mirrors. I feel better when the old ways go back into place, no more funny money. It's great when it gets filled up, but the sucking sound as the economy goes down the drain is not good.
