Read if you think you are the next Donald Trump

We've all heard the nightmare stories about so-called "fixer-upper" homes. Sometimes things go smoothly, sometimes there are "surprises" you couldn't possibly imagine. For those of you that have seen "The Money Pit" with Tom Hanks and Shelley Long, everything went wrong for the aspiring homeowners, but how would you like to be the poor folks featured in this story ?

Many of you heard that there was a window of opportunity for us  yesterday  for us to be able to ship for closings for HUD transactions.  As of  5pm yesterday HUD will  no longer accept any more sets of figures for this week and due to the VA holiday.   This mandate will stay in place because these closings are still with MCB and the switch to the three new asset managers still has not taken place and this is for a temporary time only.

The Rocky Mountain Insurance Information Association reports that Colorado’s Front Range and Wyoming’s eastern plains, commonly referred to as “hail alley,” receive the highest frequency of large hailstones in North America. Over the past 10 years, hailstorms have caused nearly $1.7 billion in damage to roofs and automobiles in hail alley. The damaging hailstorms generally occur mid-May through late July. Damages incurred to roofs during hailstorms can, however, be reduced with proper roof design and roofing product selection. A properly designed roof structure can substantially reduce hail damage.

On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve took a largely expected move to raise its key interest rate one-quarter percentage point. This marks the second of three hikes that is expected to occur this year. While mortgage rates aren’t directly tied to the Fed’s key interest rate, rates are still influenced by the movement.

The latest rate hike is partly justified from ongoing economic expansion and also a steadily falling unemployment rate, however, the Federal Reserve should be mindful of the lower than expected rate of inflation and the consequent low interest rates on long-dated bonds, like 10-year Treasury and 30-year mortgage ...
