Most lenders will mandate flood insurance in these high-risk flood zones.

Which servicer, (purchaser), lender mandated these UW's?

I represent a Direct Mandate with millions to sell and Investors and buyers to purchase Discounted notes and REO tape.

I am a commercial broker and a buyer's mandate for a few clients chasing the REO dream.

What many people (even some staff people with lenders) don't know is that seasoning is NOT required (FHA & VA is) or mandated.

Even in the case of these teaser rate loans, I'm not in favor of a mandated adjustment of the loan terms - UNLESS THERE WAS FRAUD.

Couple that with a Constitutionally mandated (25th Amendment) term limit on the President and the chance of a true dictatorship is very, very small.These are challenging economic times.

I am going to sit back, relax and allow the hard left in Washington to assume that they have some sort of super mandate and overreach like they did in 1993 and 1994.

If real estate agents don't like how NAR wields such control over them, they should get together and find a solution.States license people to sell real estate and as far as I know, do not mandate membership in NAR, however, without the marketing arm that is the MLS, people had little option in the past.

The concept is that finally, the person in charge has both the mandate AND the budget to execute.I'm not sure how putting a military person in charge of the CIA (which owns <20% of the assets, albeit the "remaining" 20%...) will change the situation much, especially since both elements (CIA and DOD) report now to the NDI for budget and mission.
