Happy Hallow's Eve, Everyone!

While it's not my favorite holiday of all, I so enjoy this time of the year when the air turns a little crisp, leaves are golden and we're getting ready to gain an hour's sleep on Sunday with the time change at 2am. Time to button down the hatches, hoping for a lot of moisture this year.

I hope you all have a good week. After two days of burning and churning about the new regime trying to harness a bunch of stray cats in the barnyard, we've certainly learned what they are capable of and we can spend some time on drawing the pluses.

It will not be a level playing field for people who have come on line and have no real connections except with deadbeat signing services.

Deadbeat signing services will not survive unless we aide and abet them.

There is ample time to market and solidify relationships with the BEST companies to work for.

Work on Plan B because this business will never be again what it was earlier this year after a nice four year run (for me any way) due to new regulations, compliance, the mortgage origination applications anticipated to drop to around 32% in 2014 and fewer homeowners/buyers being able to qualify.

All this is the wake of demands for required membership, certification and redundant background checks if we want to work for the big boys, who by the way created all this mortgage havoc and upheaval in our industry in the first place, and reaped major rewards/bonuses afterwards. We need to all sit back and watch what happens, for we have little to say in these matters except refuse to participate by feeding the wild beast.

Well, no trick or treating in my neighborhood, my house is at the end of the road by the bush with three leaves on it, and a pretty steep climb to boot.

Have a great day, everyone!
