Prop manager adjusting ledger 18 months later
26 October 2024 | 4 replies
It comes out that they made adjustments on October 4th, to a few proeprty ledgers 18 months prior (april 2023).Also they are trying to claim their 10% fee from the security deposits they are holding for me.They’re now claiming I owe them money that wasn’t owed, it’s only showing as owed beciase of the ledger adjustment referred to earlier.This reeks of fraud to me.

The fed just cut mortgage rates right?
7 November 2024 | 14 replies
Therefore anyone with bank originated construction debt or bridge debt is likely happy right now with the rate cut and narrative surrounding future cuts since in many cases these are adjustable rate loans with floors we likely won't see anytime soon.It will be interesting to see whether this cut gets banks who have been on the sidelines back into the market or alternatively some lenders who have continued to lend but with tighter underwriting to ease their guidelines.
