I tried to find the actual legislation this morning but only found earlier HAMP information that pertained more to loan modifications for homeowners, not short sale scenarios.

With all the changes going on it would be nice to have a weekly re-cap of legislative actions.

The purpose of the legislation was to free agents and appraisers from outside undue influences to arrive at a specific value or cutoff amount to make a deal fly, so keeping that in context should allow some leeway to reasonable communications and assisting with suggested comps.

Can you please provide a link to where this is articulated in the legislation?

People who have admitted to using Medicare and VA benefits shouldn't be preaching against government health care.People who like to insult others for not upholding the Constitution who then publicly call for the assassination of those who legally take advantage of their first amendment rights in a way he doesn't like.People who claim to be for limited government and then preach for more legislation when it comes to things they find morally wrong (gay marriage, drugs, etc).People who like to preach morality based on religion, but then clearly pick and chooses which aspects of biblical morality is important and which aren't.I could go on and on, but the point is, if you're going to spend time spewing hypocrisy and inconsistency, you shouldn't be surprised when people who are smarter than you call you on it.And again, if you can't take it, maybe the political threads aren't the place for you...

This is bad legislation and counter productive to the legitimate cause of combating illegal immigration.

Though I think they should go a step further and subject everyone in the government (especially those in the legislative branch :) to mandatory drug testing...

guys, I just got this email regarding the SAFE act in Texas:Many of us have been very concerned about the implementation of federal legislation known as the SAFE Act that would severely limit an individual’s ability to seller finance their property in Texas.We are working on numerous regulatory and legislative solutions to this affront to private-property owners, and have some good news to report.

When I first briefed legislators on this, you could practically see their jaws hit the floor.

This is obviously causing problems for some mortgages.With the passage of the Financial reform legislation there will be a large number of changes regarding mortgages.
