The next time you apply for a loan, you're likely to face even tougher standards than those already clamped on the consumer credit market by wary lenders. The still-soaring foreclosure rate is prompting changes in the way the nation's major credit bureaus evaluate credit risk and determine credit scores. Changing consumer attitudes about credit responsibility sparked by the devastated housing market, high unemployment and a recessionary economy have too often left mortgage lenders holding the bag. An increasing number of homeowners, even those with respectable credit scores, are handing over the keys and walking away from their mortgage loans. When the bottom dropped out of the housing market, a significant number of homeowners found themselves paying high interest rates on homes that w...

FHA Mortgage loans are often a perfect for Bloomfield first time home buyers.  One of the great benefits of an FHA loan is that they are very flexible in their approval criteria which allows for an easier qualification process than other mortgage loan programs for Bloomfield first time home buyers. The Federal Housing Administration was created in 1934 and became a part of Department of Housing and Urban Development in 1965.  It has helped increase the home ownership rate in the United States of America to almost 70%. It is a Federal program that does not cost the American taxpayer. All costs of the insurance are paid for by borrowers who obtain FHA mortgage loans.

Advanced Call Center Technologies, a collection company, now finds itself $1.5 million in debt to Allen Jones. A Dallas County court awarded him the hefty$1.5 million judgment after a jury found the agency barraged Jones with harassing and racially charged phone calls.Advanced call center employees confessed to logging eight expletive-filled calls to Jones, of Lewisville, Texas, in August 2007, many peppered with the "n-word."

For people seeking a life-care community, taking a look at Duncaster in Bloomfield is well worth your time. This community, built in 1984, has aged very nicely - due in part to forward-thinking during the initial design process. The 189 residences range from efficiencies (500 sf) up to 3-BR units (1,600 sf) and each apartment has either a balcony or patio. There is also a 60-bed nursing home on the premises. With my mother actively researching retirement communities, I visited this morning for a realtor luncheon to re-acquaint myself with this facility. I was pleased to see the pool/spa/physical therapy/fitness center addition (about 4 years young), which features an olympic length pool (kept at 83 degrees) and a large hot-tub (at 93 degrees). Both have ramps for easy access. During sno...

 To set the tone of where I am going with this...I was so unnerved by the town budget meeting last night I had dreams of being in this room debating with the town council.  I have lived in this town the first go around for almost 7 years and then came back and have been here for 11 1/2 years.  We have the best luxury condo's and apartments in Hartford County and we also have gorgeous custom built estate homes that are the perfect size for empty-nester's.  Gillette Ridge Golf Course was built 3 years ago and we have built luxury free standing houses all around the golf course and other locations near the golf course.  Bloomfield is only 6 miles from downtown Hartford and 5 to 8 minutes to I-91 and I-84 and less than 15 min to Bradley International Airport. I printed the 205 page Budget p...
