The 2008 holiday was a disaster for retail ers, as a financial crisis swept across the globe in September and consumers cut spending on nearly everything but bare necessities.Now on to our real estate educational section...Mortgage Modification Bill May Impact ForeclosuresThe newly proposed “Preserving Homes and Communities Act of 2009†introduced by Senators Jack Reed (D-Rhode Island), Dick Durbin (D-Il), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) and Jeff Merkley (D-OR) limits foreclosures and requires lenders and services to offer mortgage modifications if the net present value of the modification is anticipated to be greater than the foreclosure value.Additional provisions of the newly proposed bill include:• Limits on foreclosure fees• Creation of a nationwide database to track foreclosures• Strict penalties for non-compliant firms• State sponsored mediation programs• Grant money for borrowers struggling to make payments regardless of current mortgage product.• Capitalize the National Housing Trust Fund with $1 billion in proceeds toward preservation and restoration of affordable housing.While advocates of the bill cite the growing increase in foreclosure rates across the nation as evidence of the need for further intervention, critics of the bill believe it will increase the burden on banks and lenders while simultaneously reducing fees associated with delinquent accounts.According to Moodys.com, mortgage defaults are expected to rise to as many as four million with more than a third of new defaults associated with prime fixed rate loans rather than the original sub-prime concerns.

I saw many comments from people who will never trust or vote for these opposition parties ever again. some of us even wrote to the Queen asking for intervention. we have succeeded in foiling and holding back the opposition's plans to destroy our democracy. and become aware of the need to continue to do so.http://www.petitiononline.com/CANADIAN/petition.html <- go back and read the comments, they are great!

Hopefully without government intervention, of course...Wow, it's so nice to know that you agree with me on all this...this is a big step for us!

Absent any government intervention save for preventing people from killing each other to control commerce, "free markets" generally devolve into monopolies. 

We were going to pull the money out of my 401k, but after talking to my financial advisor and what I consider "divine intervention" we decided against it.

To give you an idea of the market i'm in, another piece of real estate which included a cardiology business along with the purchase of the property is asking 1.7 million.
