Poor little girl
First day of Dog training (or as I told her, charm school)
She had to stay after class for "special training"
Too stubborn to sit.
I had no idea her sense of self was so low
Had to rush her to Harmony Pet Hospital this morning
Overdosed on Macadamia nuts.
She is resting at home
Cards and flowers only

Hey Uptown, District!

If it ever stops raining, wanting to restart the sun down at Uptown parties at the pool once monthly. Does anyone have any input on which day of the week would be best?

I'm excited to share this information about buying in this high interest rate environment from one of my trusted lenders!

Current FHA interest rates are approximately 6.75% and conventional rates are over 7%.
Blek!! 🤮
As a result, for almost all new purchase deals I'm processing I am doing 2-1 buy down home loans. This allows the buyer to have an interest rate for the first year of 2% lower than the prevailing 30 year rate. In year two, the rate changes to 1% lower than the initial prevailing 30 year fixed rate.

(Example)
Year 1 = 4.75%
Year 2 = 5.75%
Year 3-30 = 6.75%

I explain to all of these buyers that within the next two years interest rates are going to fall significantly again and I will refinance them to an interest rate likely lower than 4.5%.
** Right now buyer reluctance to purchase is not based on high prices but based on interest rate and monthly payment. This 2-1 buy down idea resolves that problem.
** In order to gain access to this special program and pricing, there is an added loan cost charged by the lender. It's about $10k and the sellers are happily paying for this added charge as a credit for closing cost. Prices are falling rapidly and sellers will agree to anything in order to avoid dropping their price over and over to attract buyers.
