If you keep up on irrelevant but interesting news (or if you read my wildly popular blog here on A/R), you know about the lawsuit filed by State Senator Chambers of Nebraska against The Almighty.  In a humorous twist to his waste of public resources, God has answered (and therefore, from a techni...

Can anyone provide testimonials on the DpFunder program...or "warnings"?  The site http://www.dpfunder.com/index.html claims to have done 1,300+ transactions.  It's a really novel idea, where a potential buyer "sells" a membership to a seller.  The buyer gets paid a commission from the sale of th...

News just posted at the Idaho Statesman website shows that foreclosures in Idaho have doubled in the last year.  RealtyTrac shows 543 foreclosures in Idaho for August...and that's 28% higher than last month and 125% higher than last year.  The full story: http://www.idahostatesman.com/newsupdates...

The headline last week (as pointed out by exceptional Realtor MarQuis Rhodes of Boise, Idaho here http://activerain.com/blogsview/204651/The-six-figure-discount) was that Hovnanian was going to slash prices by $100,000+ to move inventory.  Image the "Welcome to the neighborhood, sucker!" recent b...

My favorite quote of the day (found on Time.com http://www.time.com/time/quotes/0,26174,1661910,00.html).  First, my comments.  Obviously, the below quote has applicability to our daily lives and our respective businesses as we reach higher and higher and push ourselves to be the best regardless ...

I was enthralled by this article yesterday where the lead paragraph stated that "Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan acknowledges he failed to see early on that an explosion of mortgages to people with questionable credit histories could pose a danger to the economy."  I find it absolu...

Yesterday I posted a quick note about the increase in pink slips in the mortgage biz.  See here. Today it keeps coming, whith WaMu reportedly cutting 1,000 jobs and "eliminating its sales force dedicated to mortgage borrowers with questionable credit..."  See this article.  This comes on the heel...
