Just wait the longer the shut down

The more business will drop off for all of us. Since the shut down 8 deals all reg refi loans at high rates maybe 1-2 ARMs. You have until the first week of October anything after that is on a hold or slowed down till the Fed opens things up and with no agreement in site for tomorrow things may even get tighter.

I need 12 more deals by 10/31 to make it through November, it will be close I think the best week EOM week maybe a big bust this month.

Congrats Claudine and family..when I was

fortunate enough to be in that world (32 yrs) medical coverage was the number one focus. Some times money isn't everything.

Congrats. I was wondering how the notary partnership was

working out with the sudden downturn in business.

Re: Picking up this week in my area

My husband has always been my partner in our NSA business..part time..When he went full time it was awesome..My clients loved it..One phone call and they got their closings covered..But when this job came along with the medical benefits that was a hard choice to make for a few days..But we are getting older and the burden of not having medical was heavy..Also Paul is not one to sit idle and this idle time while its slow would have been hard on him..So the job really came as a blessing and we knew it was the right thing for this partnership...
