8/8/88 – 20 years later

I recall the day vividly. As a young man, I had a lot of choices ahead of me. At the time, one of my big choices was, “how long will I get to hang out at mom and dad’s house?” My brother and I are very close in age and we were having the time of our lives living in a really cool house that my mom and dad had […]

sad, but true.. Harry doesn’t appear to have a clue

The changes in the mortgage industry have been coming at a break neck pace. Unfortunately, some of the people that vote on the bills don’t appear to have time to pay attention.

A Referral Based Business

Blog info Bonanza

The success of the Arizona Real Estate Blogging Network has been fun to watch. But just because we have taken this month off from our regularly scheduled meetings, doesn’t mean that you don’t have an opportunity to learn a TON about blogging in July.

Our friends at Wilde Wealth Management have invited Lori and I to see the Diamondbacks play the Cub’s on Wednesday, July 23rd. Unfortunately, I can not attend the game but Trevor was gracious enough to ask if I have a “favorite client” that might like to use the tickets. Since I have hundreds of “favorites,” I decided to contact “club” members to see who would like the tickets. I have […]

Some new “Buy and Bail” info

I have talked to many people recently about one area of major concern in the lending industry. The term is “Buy and Bail” and it can have an effect on all of us.
