Two listings in two days, thanks to my web site!  That's the power of Activerain.When I first started blogging here on AR, my website was basically a 5 page electronic brochure.  It ranked wayyyyy down on the list under just about any relevant search term that you could think of.  I think that wh...

I'm going to have to start paying Janet Guilbault a royalty.  This is the second post in a roll that was inspired by one of hers!  If you haven't checked her blog out, you really should!  Anyway, yesterday she wrote a blog called, "Breaking News, WAMU Is Exiting The Wholesale Mortgage Business" t...

I read a post today by one of my favorite bloggers here on AR, Janet Guilbrault.  Her post was called, "Shattered Dreams, Wasted Time:  The Shattered Dreams Of The 20 Something Mortgage Broker" looked at the exodus of the young mortgage brokers from our business from a different angle that I had ...

How many of you out there watch the business shows on CNBC?  It's pretty much part of my morning routine and I'll be the first to admit, they do a pretty good job of reporting the actual business news such as the fed cutting the discount rate or company "A" making an offer to buy company "B".  Th...

I've been talking with a gentleman from California who is getting ready to relocate here to St. Louis.  While I was introduced to him through the real estate side of my business, we started talking about how he was going to finance his purchase.Turns out that he's doing what a lot of borrowers do...

Every time the Fed cuts the discount rate I choruses of cheers.  I can almost guarantee you that within an hour of the announcement that there will be a post here on AR supporting the decision in the hope that "this cut" will be the one that brings the credit (and therefore the housing ) markets ...
