FHA Changes 2008-06-17 15:06:31 This was sent to me by a lender I work with. I thought it very interesting :
In a nutshell you will see FHA tighten the credit requirements, increase the monthly MIP and the UPMIP charges for those with lower credit scores. It's not significant but its another move in the wrong direction as far as helping credit challenged folks purchase a home.

Lake wright area face lift :
Wow the plans that are on the drawing board are wonderful. I pass that area on a regular basis and it normally looks pretty run down. According to the Va Pilot the people that own the land were freed slaves. Amazing history and worth reading up on if you ask me. I think there should be something left behind that documents the journey of there lives as well. Read more:Wright

I wonder what would give the best results for the day ? If I knock on doors I could talk to someone, rather than sitting in an empty house waiting for a random person to come in. If I post to the web I might actually Read more:Friday

Taken from realtytrack.com
1-246 notice for foreclose in VA Over half of those are in Fairfax , Louden and Stanton county so Hampton Roads is not fairing to bad even if it feels like it.
Hampton Roads 1-544 each month are noticed for foreclosure. Over all compared to the nation this is not a bad statistic. Don’t plan your offers on USA Toda
