In theory if the fed raises rates they could suck some of the liquidity out of the economy, but it does seem like that won’t be happening anytime soon. so it would likely need $130 a barrel oil, 20% percent reduction in stocks, and 10 year treasury closer to 3 percent to likely have an impact in the Smoky market. 

@Patricia BatesThey best advice I can offer you is to get the parcel number and call the local County Treasury Office for taxes.

I’d love to hear others’ thoughts on this.I don’t think that spreads will react because of what the fed does, but if treasuries or LIBOR/SOFR increase I’d be more inclined to expect that lenders would lower spreads.

You and your title company may have to work to get them removed or settled.Governmental liens like other tax liens, city demo liens, city lawn mowing liens, IRS liens, treasury liens, federal terrorism liens, etc, don't get wiped out.

So it sounds like you can't use the pre-payment to build a bond ladder with 1/3/6 month Treasury bills in a margin account (And use the margin to buy $SPY). 

Fannie Mae was directed by the previous treasury secretary to target a new cap on the percentage of investor and second home loans to 7%.

The 5-year Treasury-indexed adjustable-rate mortgage averaged 2.59%, down 11 basis points from the previous week.

Throughout the years I saved money in safe assets (read: cash/treasuries/etc) and very little in stocks as I started making money and investing during the great recessions and that left a bad taste in my mouth.

Treasury recently announced they are capping the non owner loans in the government coffers to 7%; both Fannie and Freddie have about 19%.

The unemployment rate is expected to tick down to 5.9%, from 6.1%.Weekly Changes:10-year treasuries:       Flat 000 bpsDow Jones Avg:            Rose 400 pointsNASDAQ:                      Rose 300 pointsCalendar:Tuesday, 6/1:               ISM ManufacturingThursday, 6/3:              ISM ServicesFriday, 6/4:                  EmploymentFor further information, comments, and questions:Lloyd Segal
