I admit this house has not one but two really ugly bathrooms. The tile is in really good shape but is not very attractive in a brown and white mosiac pattern. If you can do tile work you could really make some nice sweat equity on this home. It sits on a realy nice .67 acre lot and even has a 2 car garage. The kitchen has new cabinets, flooring and countertops but could use newer appliances.   Its a great price for a single home on this size lot in the Fallston school district in Harford county.   If you are looking for a deal this might be for you!!! I have some other homes coming on the market with highly motivated sellers and even some bank foreclosures so stay tuned or send me an email.     Thanks for looking...Kelly Willey   http://www.EasyMDhomes.com   PS.

I have and always will possess a desire to work all of the time.   It fundamentally is how I am made up and fighting it would be futile. Some people like sports and have hobbies or whatever.  I enjoy building companies and marketing and well,  just about anything that has to do with business.  That is my hobby.       About three years ago my life changed dramatically for the better.   My son was born and he has been the best thing ever for me.   They say children are miracles and that is true of my son in so many different ways.     He is the red headed reason that I don't work weekends anymore and the reason for having a quitting time now (even though I sneak in that couple of extra hours after he goes to bed ).  He is the reason for balance in my life.   I usually blog and rant about ...

This blog will be a continuing series of short informational excerpts from my sales training arsenal designed to help you SELL MORE and have MORE HAPPY CLIENTS.   In my training classes and seminars I am often asked about how to handle the many client objections that come up in the sales process.   The answer is very simple, ask questions, listen to the answers, and qualify upfront.   The sales profession is not about making EVERYONE want to buy your product through some secret voodoo magic.   It is about finding a fit between the right client and the right product quickly.   You will see the most experienced salespeople in any industry flow through sales almost seamlessly and most people new to the sales game often wonder, in amazement, about what secret mystical things that the vetera...

AS I sit here and receive another URGENT BULLETIN from yet another hurting mortgage lending institution (Chase Bank) about  discontinuing the A Minus product line as of today, I realize this is one of a dozen or so that I have received in the last week or two.   I allow myself to drift off into the daydream land of the future...................  The Headline reads:  Extra! Extra!   Last Mortgage Lenders Go Bust!   The article goes on to say that the the Government has instituted an emergency lending institution going by the name of The New World Order Of Mortgage Lending!  ____________________________________________________________________   Below are their guidelines: NEW WORLD ORDER OF MORTGAGE LENDING GUIDELINES Max LTV (Purchase or Refinance) = 75% Minimum Credit Score= 780+ Maximu...

Understanding What Causes Interest Rate MovementConsumers are often misled when it comes to the subject of the Federal Reserve and how it affects mortgage interest rates. Often the media is the culprit causing the confusion. In the last few years, the Fed has taken action that caused mortgage interest rates to move in a direction other than what consumers expected, because the media provided weak reporting on the subject.The Federal Reserve affects short-term interest rate maturities, the Fed Funds rate, and the Overnight Lending rate. These factors have a direct impact on the Prime rate. If you took only this into consideration, you may mistakenly conclude that changes made by the Fed will cause a similar movement in mortgage interest rates. However, mortgage interest rates are dictate...
