Beware of Foreclosure Avoidance Scams - 0 views

  •  
    I mentioned in an earlier post that scammers are smelling blood in the water and are searching out homeowners who are facing foreclosure.

Realtors vs. DIYers - 0 views

  •  
    The age-old battle is ongoing. I'm talking about the battle between the professional Realtor and the Do-it-Yourselfer.

Central Florida Real Estate News: Salad Days of High Appraisals May Be Over - 0 views

  •  
    At least for now. Used to be Realtors and loan officers could let an appraiser know a target figure and sweet talk their way to an on target appraisal.

Real Estate Investing - Is Now the Time? - 0 views

  •  
    Home prices in most U.S. markets are declining, that's no secret. Another non-secret is the fact that lots of folks who bought when the prices were at their peak and used some very iffy loans are now being foreclosed on.
