Here is a tip Claude


One of best friends dad is named Claude. I mean no disrespect, but Claude rhymes with Fraud. Yep Capitol F Fraud.

Lenders aren’t as busy as they have been. Underwriters, funders, managers, compliance officers, and all who are out to get the bad guys, have more time on their hands. Commit fraud Claude and they will get you. They will. I promise. Whether you be loan officer or borrower, real estate agent or appraiser. If you want to sleep at home and not in a cell, don’t commit fraud Claude.

Is there such a thing as a 3rd Mortgage?

Sure, but why would you want one? I suggest you only have it on the third house you own.

The point? Lenders take a risk as they go into a position behind another. If there is a foreclosure, the 3rd may have to buy out everyone in front to save his position. So even though it is possible to get a 3rd, you possibly are better off refinancing a new first. This may especially be true with the state of the current interest rates. Larry Cragun

Mortage Report on products, formerly the Smort Report.

I am going back to introducing you to unusual products. If you have a situation you think is unique, ask me about it. Lar

Try these two on for size. There are lenders that do this. For some reason you need cash out on a 4 plex, more than the appraised value. There is a lender out there that will loan you 125% of the value of a 4 plex. How about on a home and you are in a hurry or for some reason want a drive by appraisal. There is also a lender that will loan you 125% of the drive by appraisal value.

Is this why we love to hate the New York Yankees?

Steinbrenner guarantees Series victory

George Steinbrenner

In an interview that became public Thursday, New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner guaranteed his club would break its five-year “slump” without a World Series title.”We’re going to win it,” Steinbrenner told the Associated Press, in an interview conducted last week. “We’re going all the way.”

The interview also touched on Steinbrenner’s health, and The Boss once again insisted he was fine. Now 76 years old, Steinbrenner attended nearly every day of spring training, and he came to about 20 Yankees home games.
