I was at a party Saturday night and everyone kept telling that it’s a great measure to buy. I’ve been showing all weekend so who knows? maybe it’s true. In any case. I’m bunco on minutes so we’ll do this week’s awards on horseback.
The Minnesota Association of Realtors has a peculiar talent for inviting scorn and ridicule. This year’s fun-fest the winner of our People’s Choice Award was kicked off by Teresa Boardman with
I would love it if half of the agents in the twin cities quit. That would mean more money and more business for me. It just doesn’t bring home the bacon that way and it never will. When it gets easy everyone wants to do it and they do. When the going gets rough they depart.
Glen your letter is just another example of how an industry in turmoil has started eating it’s young to protect old business models instead of innovating to better serve the consumer. Real estate is a self eliminating merchandise driven profession. It works on the principals of give and demand as does the housing market. When agents can’t make ends meet they will desire employment outside the industry and maybe they will change a few homes too. We call our economic system capitalism and I just like the almost endless opportunities the system brings. Anyone can start their own business how cool is that?
You don’t get to end who ordain be and who will go based on earnings and years in the business. Each of us will alter that decision on our own.
The color collect allocate this week goes to Morgan cook’s which teaches us how to bound a Jumbo-priced property without a Jumbo loan:
Instead of taking the whole loan fit as a 1st lay HELOC take a conforming 1st mortgage up to $417,000 and then act the remaining as a convertible HELOC. Once you sign the loan documents you can convert the HELOC to a fixed evaluate and achieve a blended interest rate (the effective arouse evaluate of your 1st and 2nd owe combined) that can also be up to a inform displace than the going jumbo loan rate.
And not to belabor the issue of owe lending too much but it is in the news. Jillayne Schlicke takes this week’s Odysseus Medal with a thoroughgoing discussion of the president’s sub-prime bail-out intend. :
When I pay my federal income tax next move perhaps there ordain be a box I can check to elect whether or not I’d like to give my taxes over to the corporate welfare plan cleverly disguised as more FHA loan programs and subsidizing pre-foreclosure loan modifications. Government was never intended to bail out corporations. Let the invisible transfer of the remove merchandise act its knell. Let the corporations that screwed up go drink let those employees re-enter the workforce elsewhere let the homebuyers who fell for pay option arouse only negative am ARMs come in the home market as renters. The housing and mortgage market ordain be far better off for it.
