In case you haven’t heard, the media has a new darling. They have taken an issue, albeit a serious one, and transformed it to the status of Armageddon.
I’m not denying the current mortgage situation is creating financial havoc and confusion, but I am suggesting that it is a problem that can be solved and lessons will be learned. Some of those lessons should have been learned the last time by lenders who got sloppy in the underwriting department and consumers who got a little too excited and didn’t quite think things through and plan ahead wisely.
The point is that there was a last time and there will probably be a next time with slightly different circumstances and effects. But, last time was corrected and this time will correct, too.
The following article has some great information and explanation for the current problems most of us are facing in one way or another. Greg Wickstram, with First Capital Mortgage, has written an informative and helpful piece leaving out the hysteria and headline grabbing alarms. It is a factual and balanced piece and I think you will find it helpful. Please let me know your thoughts and comments.

Words of Wisdom from Uncle Lee
Top 21 Uses for a Dryer Sheet
1. All this time you’ve just been putting Bounce in the dryer! It will chase ants away when you lay a sheet near them. It also repels mice.
2. Spread sheets around foundation areas,
or in trailers, or cars that are sitting and it keeps mice from entering your vehicle.
3. It takes the odor out of books and photo
albums that don’t get opened too often.
