Rates are great, if you qualify, or are in an FHA or VA (streamline refi's seem to be the bulk of my business these days).

Same here. Lots of good programs out there. Lots of

streamlines. The old pockets of year-old stuff is pretty much all cleaned up, and cheers to the folks who suffered out the long slug through the pipeline, bless them, every one.

I chuckle under my breath when I hear complaints of "we've been at this for 4 months!" - heh heh heh...if they only knew...

21% is a nice, big number. So many "sh*t" deals went down, and we're 'bubbling out.' And - the slow-but-steady-gains in the GNP, the employment slowly going up, and some concrete assurances in the form of money from the 4th largest Corporation for the damages of its negligence to our Gulf Coast - so 21% is a nice, big number for Main Street and homeowners, and first-time buyers, too.
