Mortgage Time

When is the right time to talk to a mortgage lender? when you have the first thought of wanting to buy a home. It is a great time to buy rather than rent. with such low interest rates & property prices where they are, you can usually own with a monthly mortgage payment lower than rent you'd pay on a similar piece of property. Your real estate broker can offer names of reputable lenders so you can be properly pre-qualified so you know the top purchase price to keep you in your comfort zone. Short sale, foreclosure, traditional non-distress sales...all options in today 's real estate market. For more info on short sales & debt forgiveness, contact the author of this Blog; Kay Russell, Broker, Keller Williams Fox Valley Realty. http://KayRussellRealty.com

Ever Feel Like You Can't Outrun The Hunt?

A cousin of mine recently sent me a link to a video that spoke to me in a way making me want to share this. If you or anyone you know has ever felt like they just couldn't keep up, they could not outrun the hunter, or felt really "under the gun" then you may appreciate this video. It seems like these days every life is influenced in some way by the "interesting" economy we've endured these past few years. I know I can relate to the penguin. Can you? If this video speaks to you in any special way that you want to share, please reach out - russellgroup1@yahoo.com or 630-513-3810. Be sure to watch until the very end - you won't believe the outcome!!! I guess the message is "Never give up, and just keep on swimming!"....and to be able to take a big jump at the end could be quite helpful too :) (If link does not appear highlighted, right click to highlight and Google to find. It will come right up.)
