Top 5 real estate posts of the day 10/20/2009

1) Summarizing the new, stricter FHA Streamline refinance program – In one month the FHA will be changing guidelines on FHA Streamline mortgage refinancing. As with everything else in the lending industry right now, it is not getting easier.

2) Trust – It seems to be the theme of the week. Here is another one from the last 24-hours on earning trust.

3) Like Moses from the mountaintop, make manifest your values – Marc has another post on trust and branding. This is why his posts are always a must read… Folks, many of you look at the market and blame it for your woes. The truth is, the plague of a down market is welcome. It isolates your faults and concentrates the mind.

4) What is title insurance? Don’t worry, most professionals don’t even know – A short basic introduction to what title insurance is and what it may cover.

5) What info makes up your credit score – One of my favorite segments is Tuesday Morning Coffee with John Jones, and this morning he breaks down the credit score.

Top 5 real estate posts of the day for 8/20/2009

1) Buying a HUD home – A much underutilized resource for homebuyers looking to get into a home for as little out of pocket as possible.

2) Record 13.2 percent of mortgage loans in foreclosure or deliquent in Q2 – I like the ending “We are all subprime now”

3) Neighborhood Stabilization Program – Rail Life Style – This is a great example of someone taking a national issue and customizing it to their niche blog.

4)FHA saves duplex purchases for first time home buyers – You probably need to come up with 20% down to purchase a duplex with a conventional loan, but with FHA an owner occupied duplex can be had for much less down.

5) 203K and 203K Streamline series – Yes all these were published yesterday
