It's Not About Foreclosures. It's About Pricing! by Steve Harney on May 18, 2010 · 1 comment in For Buyers, For Sellers Remember the Boat Analogy Many of our readers question why I spend as much time as I do on the foreclosure situation in the country. I want everyone to know that it is NOT an obsession with depressing news. I strongly believe that the wave of distressed properties (foreclosures and short sales) coming to market will dramatically impact house values for the rest of 2010 and probably 2011. I want to make sure that every seller and buyer remains on top of this issue so that they can best evaluate the options for themselves and their families. I hope every real estate professional understands the issue well enough to simply and effectively communicate the effect it will ha... 05/20/2010

The mortgage industry is fascinating.  I've enjoyed over 20 years helping 1,000's of homeowners finance or refinance their home.  Even amongst the turmoils that the industry has experienced over the last several years this continues to be one of the most rewarding aspects of my career. Helping Homeowners For Over 20 Years With the changes in the industry came changes to the documentation requirements.  Are you self employed?  Remember the "Stated Income" days?  Well, they are long gone!  Many people called them "Liar Loans" but that really wasn't a fair assessment of these loans.  Those that abused these Stated Income loan programs brought this slang into the industry. Unfortunately this change is here to stay.  Now the following information is required on just about every loan submitte... 03/07/2010
