Get ready to get busy!
As some of you know, I have recently crossed over from SA to LO. I'm working for a brilliant broker in a small office and...my gosh, we have been busy! The very attractive interest rates are a no-brainer for homeowners. It's not really that difficult to qualify...there's many different loan products available...however, knowledge is key. I'm still learning but from what I have witnessed thus far, the business is out there! For those states that have suffered the worst, FL, CA, when the homes start appreciating, watch out = they won't have enough SA's or LO's to handle the influx. Hang in there -

If this story is any sign, then Florida has a long
way to go, before they and us start singing we're in the money again.

I love this optimistic upbeat stuff too. The stimulus is working, Things are getting better, it will be great soon! How many without jobs can qualify for a loan? Oh well…it’s only what 13-14 million? Lets concentrate on the others, and hope they have some equity left in their homes, ’cause 4.5% interest really is good. Yeah, I think I’ll go look at a Cadillac! They aren’t made in Mexico yet are they?

Hey, Blueink, sounds like you're having a great summer -
Don't listen to the nay-sayers, they love the bad news (but that's for politics) - friends of mine who've been looking a long time, and traveled to other states for work, are landing good jobs. One in Texas, and another in Florida, as a matter of fact. Double yippies.
Digging out of this recession is a slog, and demand is slowly growing. It would be nice if the *Trillions* in cash [sitting around the rich folks' GlobalBankAccounts] would invest in small businesses, or medium businesses, or heck, just ~lending~ already - to we the-ready-willing-and-able Workforce, since *all* interest is Zero, or close to it for Them [that TopTwoPercent,] and nice a low for the readywillingandableworkforce. Jobs create demand. Lending creates jobs. Simple.
So your news about lenders is ~wonderful~ Blueink, and raising a glass with a 'Howdy, Woman! ... ROCK ON... '

Thanks for the positive news. I think we're starting to see an up-swing. As they say, "you can't keep a good man down", and IMO that has always described the American spirit.
Congrats on your move to LO. I often think I would like to work that side of things.

That's really truly excellent news...and its great to have someone on this forum, on the 'inside' so to speak!
Now let's all remember to be very diligent about keeping to our regular prices! Not only has work been slow, and apparently coming back slowly, but since we are all competing with those that take under the norm prices for work, we must still continue to stick to our self-worth in this business, and not give in to the low-ballers.
A catch 22 profession that is slowly unraveling is totally wonderful! But let's not forget to continue to stick to our guns! POW POW!
