Good afternoon everyone! I hope you're well. I write this with a heavy heart as our Great Dane, Buster, has a very weak heart and we may need to put him down. He is almost 8 years old but has really struggled recently and we don't want to see him suffer. Buster was the first dog I owned as an adu...

Hello all: Good morning on an absolutely beautiful day! I was reading a blog about private money today and wanted to chime in.

Good morning: Another stellar day in the Northwest. And I'm taking the day off! Why? A high school classmate of mine has this big hairy audacious goal of playing every golf course in the state. I told him if he was ever over on my side of the mountains, let me know and we'd go play Gold Mountain ...

Good morning all: I wanted to take a moment to talk about jumbo loans. My company, The Legacy Group, has several jumbo lenders we work with. First, a bit of clarification. There are two types of jumbo loans. The first is called a conforming jumbo loan and in the tri-county area here (King, Snohom...

Good morning! I hope you're well. I received a call from a friend of mine the other day who is looking to purchase a multi-family complex. He asked me if I knew of any second mortgages out there. I checked with our capital department manager and he wasn't aware of anything. Are you? The deal work...
