  ·        Congress approved a one-year extension of the existing loan limits for Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the Federal Housing Administration. This allows the government’s loan guarantee and insurance programs to continue backing home loans of up to $729,750 in markets with the highest cost of living. Retaining the current higher conforming loan limits will allow homebuyers in higher cost areas to have access to affordable mortgage financing and share the same opportunity to achieve homeownership that borrowers in other regions of the country enjoy. This extension, which is good through Sept. 30, 2011, also expands the FHA’s capacity to back multifamily loans.   Congress also unanimously approved a one-year extension for the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), until Sept. 30, 20... 10/07/2010

      What are your daily affirmations? What is a affirmation? Affirmations are short,positive,present tense statements that define a state of being or a desired result. Repetitive exposure to an an affirmation builds belief. This year I am doing it more now.        Throughout history great avatars,leaders and achievers have harmoniously trumpeted one pointed fact of reality concerning human accomplishment that is irrevocable. You are what you think about,you become what you conceive in your mind. If you can believe it,you can achieve it.       Someone told me about Napoleon Hill's book "Think and Grow Rich",( I haven't read the book yet but I plan on doing so soon ). He said that "Whatever the mind can conceive and believe,the mind can achieve". Like they say,"As a man thinketh in his ... 03/20/2010

We are know that real estate sales are down and that times are rough. It has prompted some real estate brokers to downsize. Some real estate professionals have left the business and are seriously thinking of leaving the real estate business. It has caused conflicts in families of real estate professionals. I remembered reading here the story of a young lady asking whether she should leave or stay in the real estate business. She said that her fiance or husband told her she should just leave because she is wasting her time and that she is never going to make no money. ( I have been there -TRUST ME. In fact,something like that happened to me recently. That's all I am going to say about that. ) I am a firm believer in the statement "If you can see it,you can achieve it". Its one thing to v... 05/29/2008

 One of the blogs that I wrote "If you fail to plan,you plan to fail",I said that most top producing real estate professionals are successful because they have a very effective and successful plan in place.

Pain at the pump has led to many business companies cashing in on trying to gain new business. It seems the nation's pain has been a marketing ploy for some businesses companies gain. Hopefully this gas deal wont get out of hand. In Washington DC,two days ago,a lady said that she has been waiting in line over night since 10:30pm  just to get free gas. I mean I have heard of people waiting in line for XBox game machines,Play station,Wii and/or the day after thanksgiving sale ( Black friday ). But to wait overnight just to get some gas? That's wild. When you think about it,I am glad that this promotion was done during Winter. Imagine waiting in line for some gas during Winter? You will have to keep the car running all night so the car can stay warm to keep the heat on. But by the time you... 05/23/2008

                                          Many people have said that one of the things that you should do in life is go on a road trip. At the time,I didn't see the big deal about it. I mean what will I gain from going on some road trip? But while on the road trip,I started seeing beautiful places that I have never seen before. As I started viewing the beautiful mountains and hills,I was happy that I went on the road trip that covered 2,709 miles.                                              My brother who is in the Navy just finished training and he wanted someone to ride back with him from San Diego,CA to keep him company.
