Wouldn't you like to be here today? I'm not, but I wish I were. I guess we all have our own definition of 'perfect', but a year ago today I was at my faborite resort in the  world, stately Breakers Resort in Palm Beach Florida. Today I'm not on vacation, I'm working and we've had a cold rain most of the day. I  haven't shared photos of the building or resort, merely of the wind-swept palms and ocan views so that you can relate perhaps to your favorite beach locataion and take a 'mini armchair vacation' with me today. 05/17/2011

Steps to Avoid Business Identity Theft   Business identity theft is worse than individual identity theft. Why? Because the business (the victim) to consumer (the other victim of the crime) relationship will forever be unsettled. Do you actually think the customer will do business with you again after their personal information was stolen from your business?     The internet is simple accessibility to computer crimes. Computer Criminals have the intent to take away your good name, such as your logo, your contacts, and manipulating your business practices. According to Business Week, approximately 25% of small business owners are more likely to be victims of identity theft.   Here are some tips of safeguarding your business: The best Internet tool to monitor your business is to Google you... 04/27/2011

More Property Preservation Companies are well needed for Florida Foreclosures      This home is located in North Naples Florida, just three blocks away from the Ritz Carlton.  The owner died and the property foreclosed, supposedly it’s going to auction.   The subject property is an example of abandoned foreclosed homes in Florida that are taking down nice neighborhoods.   Construction companies that are seeking more work, I recommend in enrolling as a third party vendor with National Banks for property preservation services. Florida needs more jobs; why not participate in Property Preservation services and take care of local neighborhoods?   This home is a good investment, that is if you are a competent investor.     04/13/2011

  Why You Shouldn't Default on a USDA Loan (Residential)   Most importantly, try not to default on any loans. If your trying to obtain a loan modification with USDA, your chances of getting one approved are very slim. Why? USDA does not offer a loan modification program like Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, they offer a Special Forbearance program for homeowners assistance.   How USDA's Special Forbearance Works: Your best negotiating time for your delinquent USDA loan is after 90 days past due and before 12 months in arrears, the allowable time by USDA. Your interest rate and terms of your loan cannot change with "Special Forbearance." Example, your mortgage payment is $1450.00 per month, your past due amount with the bank is $25,400, this includes finance charges, accrued interest and 12 pa... 03/27/2011
