Single Mom Selling House
Tuesday, July 01, 2008
Boy, these Realtors will resort to all types of shady tactics to sell houses. While this story may seem cute and make you feel some compassion for the 'single mom' (Deven Trabosh), you should also realize that she is a Real Estate Agent.
"Trabosh, a licensed real estate agent who hasn't practiced in years, knew
she would struggle to sell the home in the troubled real estate
market..."

Direct Lending Solutions
Monday, February 04, 2008
With mortgage interest rates dropping, we shouldn't be surprised to see a huge surge in refinancing. As of today, 30 year mortgage rates are sitting at just over 5%, but don't jump in just yet. A lot of families have been scammed by fraudulent lenders. I was browsing the web the other day looking for information on loan scams, looking for information that would help protect me as a home buyer. I came across a pretty cool site, Direct Lending Solutions with some great articles about consumer scams, interest only mortgages, and tips on about how to prevent foreclosure.
Direct Lending Solutions also has some good information about Mortgage Interest Tax Deductions. The article answers questions such as:
1. What is qualified residence interest?
2. Definition of acquisition indebtedness.
3. Amount of home acquisition debt.
Check out Direct Lending Solutions for more consumer awareness articles.
