(wow mixed metaphors or something).Until we get back to making the things we use, and even exporting some of them, we're looking at a lowering of our standard of living until it equals out with the rest of the global economy.

Everything going along fine until the appraisals just came back, and they are a lot lower than the first set, so my 75% LTV just went to >85% LTV, which they won't do for investors these days.

I was just looking at a property for 36k and was approved and had an approval letter in 2 hours.Many small local banks will give you loans on lower value properties if you can show that you personally can cover the mortgage and if the property cash flows that makes it a lot easier as well.Just try a small local bank...

I just lowered the prices, and there's been some action but not a great deal.

It has forced them to lower their prices as well on many of their menu items, which means a lower profit potential.

I will sit down with a real estate accountant if need be, but I have a guy who does my taxes..I would just like to know any ways you guys have come up with to lower your tax burden.. thanks

WaMu appraisers came in with a lot lower numbers than the appraisals done for the first bank a couple of months ago.

It's good to have an agent on your side looking daily, because that is where I noticed most people are losing out, they are just too slow, and hear about the "good one" too late.I had a client who I called the day the house she wanted fell out of escrow, they lowered it another $25,000.

I think i can get it under $33,000 (i will start my offer at $28,000) or lower.

I looked into the Carolina Panthers, Houston Texans, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Philly Eagles.Basically Texans and Panthers are cheaper, but no real resale value, so you will be taking a lossSteelers and Eagles are just WAY too expensive to make such a purchase worth itI was able to snag lower level 100 seats.
