 ON MEMORIAL DAY HONOR THOSE WHO GAVE THEIR ALL...We who live in freedom will always be grateful to those who helped preserve it.  "For love of country, they accepted death." ... James A. Garfield Freedom is not free. Freedom comes at a cost... in the sacrifice of life and acceptance of death. We are uniquely free in the United States of America because there have been many throughout our history who were willing to sacrifice their lives and accept death to protect our freedom.  "A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself."...

Unwrapping the Mystery of Those New Mortgage FeesAs if the real estate market weren’t confusing enough, the Federal Housing Finance Agency has implemented new rate schedules. Though the change was announced this January, it took a few months before the industry realized the bottom line: rates were going up for borrowers with good credit and down for those with lower credit scores. Understandably, both industry professionals and home buyers were confused.Here’s an example of how this will work. Under the new policy, a borrower with a higher credit score will pay an .875 percent fee for an 80 percent loan-to-value loan. Formerly, they would pay a .5 percent fee, so that borrower would pay an additional $1,313 on a $350,000 mortgage. In contrast, a borrower with a lower credit score borrow...
