Sometimes there are interesting articles in the publications I read and other times I just want to say "ENOUGH!" This one is about the coming "Second Great Depression" as one of the quoted articles is titled within the context of this article. America did not become a great country because we sai...

Just when it starts looking a little better it seems the government is going to step in and tighten up eligibility to obtain a mortgage through possibly requiring higher credit scores and larger down payments for FHA loans. If this actually happens , it could be devastating to real estate sales (...

I was looking at the Outlook section of The Washington Post this morning to what appears to be an ongoing series "The 5 Myths of...." Today's topic was the "5 Myths About Home Sweet Ownership."
