If Lenders Say ‘The Dog Ate Your Mortgage’

I believe in karma and I think the banks are due a little pay back.  The below link is an article that anyone behind in their mortgage should read.  I am not saying this is the case in all circumstances but I thought the irony was superb. Let me know what you think.

Got Foreclosures?

I don’t - at least not until they are listed by a realtor and on the MLS. 
If you want to check out foreclosures before they are listed, visit the following websites.  Some may charge a fee so read the fine print.  You can also check with your local county to see if they have a list.

Sell That House

If I were to believe the news and talking heads on TV, I would have jumped off a tall building 6 months ago.  Their perspective does not apply to Coos County in the same way that it applies to other parts of the country.   In Coos County for the month of January there were 126 new listings, 35 […]
