    Millions of adjustable mortgages face reset

    INVESTING 
    I have a few ARMS that have reset already, and they've all dropped into the 2's ... This is a very GOOD thing for most people. I have 2 more expiring in 2010 that I can't WAIT to expire, because my monthly payment is going to drop about $300 each on those.... Cheers, - Hakrjak

    Thanks for the open & honest constructive criticism. Answers below: These were actually originally built as patio homes, however the HOA was never established, so they are technically deeded 1/2 duplexes with no HOA. My Realtor has always represented them on the MLS as SFR's because they...

    I don't even understand how the waiver system works. I know when I drop someone I can't bring them back until they clear waivers, and that's about it!?! - Hakrjak

    Tough decisions to make.....

    REAL ESTATE 
    In my case I am operating in a neighborhood that I have been operating in since 2001. I've rehabbed and sold 3 houses on the same street (On the same side of the street even) for $126k, $125k, and $120k... All sold within 30-120 days -- Last one sold about a year ago. So logic dictated that...

    About the same... 4-5 years ago I was buying them up for $80-90k, putting in $10k and flipping them for $120k-125k We just got stuck with this one because of a vacant house across the street, and a foreclosure down the block. It kind of dragged down the whole neighborhood. Everybody has...

    REAL ESTATE 
    As of a few days ago, I dropped the price to $105k which is just about my break-even point -- just to be able to walk away and try somewhere else next time. Had some more showings since then, but still no contract. Funny thing is (I probably already mentioned) -- Previous sales we've done on...

    How to do a Fastlane wedding?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Haha, must be nice :) -- I'm still financially strapped big time from not being able to sell the "Quad" house right now and just taking ANOTHER pay cut at the office, so I fully expected some kind of financial help from either side of the family. It didn't come -- Lesson learned. On the...

    Fastlane = Early death?

    If I hadn't been trying to finish decks and fences on flip houses, I probably would have never given my elbows and knees such a beating over the years. Also laying tile has been brutal on my knees. I never had any sports related injuries in my life up until the age of 33 or so (Now), and they...

    I'd reco eloping... I just got married on 9/14, and we did it in Vegas on a budget -- and managed to pull the whole thing off for us and 40 guests for about $8,000. We rented a penthouse on top of a large casino for the ceremony, and had the reception dinner in a nice restaurant inside the...

    G.D.P. Shrank Less Than Expected in Quarter

    INVESTING 
    Everybody is hailing this like some big news... Seems to me that of course things are going to get worse at a progressively slower rate the longer this goes on -- Because there are certain parts of the economy that are recession proof. Doesn't mean things are going to get better anytime soon...

    Socking Away $1,000/month

    Phoenix is not the rest of the country man. I still have that 80 acre ranch in Wyoming that I paid $5k for 5 yrs ago, and sold on an owner finance at 12.9% for $20k for 20 years. I am praying that the buyers default on the note right now, because the land is now worth $40-50k and I could...

    REAL ESTATE 
    I'd like to dump it, and feel like I've already got it priced too low, where people aren't buying it because they are asking, "What the hell is wrong with this picture?" I'm worried that if I drop the price anymore it's still not going to sell. What pisses me off the most is that 5 months...

    Hey Guys, I've been sitting on a house I bought back in May, which I had completely remodeled and listed by June. To make a long story short, we've had tons of viewings but no contracts -- and I think it's due to some foreclosures that happened in the neighborhood right after I got in, which...

    If you can't get financing by your closing date, etc -- You are generally not liable for your earnest money. There are actually very few situations where earnest money will be taken from you. Just provide a letter from your dumbass mortgage broker. :) Cheers, - Hakrjak
