A couple of days ago, the Federal Reserve cut interest rates by a half point, which was more than many people who follow the market expected.

How You Can STILL Buy Oakland Real Estate With No Money Down

Published on Mon, 22 Oct 2007 17:02:16 -0700 | Hamid Grinage's Blog

The changing face of the mortgage industry is creating a situation where 100% financing is almost non-existent in high cost areas such as Oakland and the surrounding Bay Area. Even in areas that aren't high cost, the only option for 100% financing (other than seller financing) is an FHA loan that is capped at $417,000. For many other parts of the country that's fine, but the reality is that the median price in Oakland is over $500,000, which means FHA financing is unrealistic for a huge percenta [...]

The Knowledge of The Holy

May God bless you Greg for taking this step of faith. I quickly joined the group after reading this post. I agree with you wholeheartedly and feel that accountability is missing from the body of Christ today. I think time (and watered down Gospel) has drawn us away from intimacy with our Savior. The farther we are apart from Him the harder it becomes to remember our absolute dependence upon Him. I simply love the fact that you mentioned us "getting in the Word" whil [...]

REO Terminology

Published on Mon, 17 Dec 2007 16:31:09 -0800 | Tracy's Blog

Greetings fellow Rainers!!! I'm just taking a break from my rather hectic day. For kicks, I thought it would be fun to start some sort of chain type thread just to see how long we could keep it going before we ran out of things to add. So my topic of choice is REO TERMINOLOGY. Why? Maybe because in my neck of the woods it's all you hear about.It's kind of corny I know, but with so many experts in the field I thought we could have fun, challeng [...]
