This particular client had contacted me after filing Bankruptcy to short sale his Middletown, CT home. As I've said many times before, bankruptcy usually does not get rid of your house, only the liability for the debt. You still need to sell your property or the bank has to foreclose or accept a deed in lieu in order for you to not own it anymore. This client also was in active foreclosure, and the FHA short sale process works a little different when this is the case, but it is still possible to short sale your home after a bankruptcy and while in active foreclosure. We had a few documentation issues on both sides of the deal. Citi kept losing documents on our end. On the buyers end, the IRS lost 4 pages of his tax return, and they were unable to provide tax transcripts to the buyer's ... 07/25/2012

The Connecticut Housing Finance Authority (CHFA) DAP Loans In Cromwell CT For First Time Homebuyers is a very well known program.  But the Connecticut Housing Finance Authority (CHFA) DAP Loans In Cromwell CT For Existing Homebuyers is not very well known, in fact I would say that many Loan Originators are not aware that CHFA has a Downpayment & Closing Cost Assistance Program (DAP) for existing Homebuyers in Cromwell as well as all other Connecticut towns.  That is because most everyone thinks of Connecticut Housing Finance Authority (CHFA) as only a First Time Homebuyer Program, but that is not the case.

  We had a Car Show this past Wednesday on Main Street in Middletown, CT.  It was the 15th Annual Car Show that we have held on Main Street, and there were several cars lined up and down Main Street as you can see from the picture above.

Even though I enjoyed seeing the cars that I grew up with like the Camaro's, Mustang's, and VW Beetle's, it is the older cars that really get my attention.  So I though I would share a few pictures below of some of the ones that stood out to me. **********************************************************************************  ... 06/24/2012

  I did not even realize that we were having a POW WOW here in Middltown, CT this weekend, until I went out this morning to run some errands, and at the bottom of my subdivision is a farm and it was filled with tents and campers.  So I put the errands on hold and had to go check this out.
