1) How To Avoid Loan Modification Companies And Save Thousands – A successful loan modification that actually cuts the balance is so far and few between I don’t see many cases where it is worth it. Here is a good post on how homeowners can go about it themselves.
2) Proposed Financial Crisis Responsibility Fee – New proposal that would charge banks who received TARP money a fee to recollect the money. Yea this is good, but is there anyone who really thinks they won’t just pass those fees back onto the consumer?
3) Finding a Home After Foreclosure or Short Sale – It is hard for me to admit how great this video post idea is seeing she is my chief competition (she knows I am joking). Everyone is talking about foreclosures and short sales, but who is advising those people what to do next. Great job Kristin!
4) The Beauty of the Short Sale Transaction (No Folks, I’m Really Not Kidding) – This is the first post I have ever read from Melissa, but she is already becoming one of my favorites! There are so few of us out there who actually enjoy going to battle with the banks on the short sales.
5) Self-Directed IRAs – A Few Answers For You – Who’s looking for a new niche market….
6) Savvy Real Estate Agents, Brokers, and Managers Understand The New HUD-1 and GFE – Can we ever get enough of the new HUD and GFE?
7) REALTOR.com® was Most Visited Real Estate Website in December – So who was the most visited real estate site in December? Zillow? Realtor.com? Both claim to be.
8) The Most Important Question (that Most of Us Answer Poorly) – What do you do? We all ask it and get asked it almost every day. Is I drive around in my car all day talking to a flip cam a good answer?
9) All of the Best Features of Top Producer…for $100 – I have been looking for a good Top Producer like system for a while. Not sure this is it, but it is one of the closest I have seen.
10) CleanSlate videos from Inman – This is not really a post, but Sherry Chris of Better Homes and Gardens is doing a great job with videos in the hallways at Inman Connect.

Dean, the article “How To Avoid Loan Modification Companies And Save Thousands” hit the spot. I’m sure like my wife and I, you see it all the time. It seems to be especially true in the poorer and ethnic neighborhoods, and it’s a huge pet peeve of mine that these people taken advantage of, because of not being in the know. Good article!
