I kept up with it for a while. But I give.

Those idiots.

They still are trolling like it’s business as usual. They still think “638 STATED/STATED 95% LTV NOO” and “GREAT BORROWER” can be in the same sentence.

If your realtor is an Asshole, I’ll charge you $500.00

I was figuring out pricing for my business–I didn’t want to be opportunistic with my clients, and I wanted to charge fair fees/prices.  I’m predicting that pricing will get worse for us Brokers soon, but I think it’ll settle in at 1.25-1.75 compensation to broker, because customer acquisition is still something lenders are after.   Anyhow–my [...]

Here’s Where I Tell You What I will Do and How I Will Do It.

It’s early. I’m beating you ALL to the punch on my new year’s resolutions. Ok, most of you. (This is the first post on Windows Live Writer. Windows Live Writer is kicking ass).

But this is what I intend for 2007. 2008. What I will do, and I’ll find the next 13 [...]

New Theme

1/2 way done–more will be done tomorrow.

4:30 comes early.  So sleep.

Okay, we’re all talking…

Okay, we’re all talking about Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens right now because all of this tip came out and you got to know this. In a professional baseball player your bodies or your currency and you’re shortening your life your taking risks to improve your body there’s not a thing wrong with except for [...]

Stay Tuned. More is coming, as is always the case.

Seth’s Blog was particularly genius today.

Don’t slow stuff down.  Craig’s list can do it cheaper.

Big damn hairy post coming in a few minutes.
