From Scott Cummings at Cummings Financial, visit his website at LOANS ON HOMES Here is an update on the financial and mortgage markets. The good news is mortgage rates are rallying and moving lower. The Consumer Price Index was reported slightly higher than expected this morning. When volatile food and energy were stripped out, however, the Core CPI was in line with expectations. The Bond market liked the report and initially added to yesterday's gains, but have since come down after the Capacity Utilization and Industrial Production both came in a little hotter than expected. Stocks, on the other hand, are at 2009 highs and are getting a boost this morning on positive comments from billionaire investor Warren Buffet, who remarked that the US economy has bottomed out.Currently, the Bond remains above support at the 25-Day and 100-Day Moving Averages. I recommend floating as long as these floors hold. I will continue to monitor the situation and let you know if a change of c...

Had an amazing time last evening watching YouTube videos of fantastic rock 'n roll shows from the 60's...wonderful music, and a wonderful time. Do you know how much a home cost back then? In New Mexico, the average price of a home was $76,900 - wow, amazing. Long term, your best investment is in your home - so why rent? Maybe short term for renting is fine....I remember renting a nice apartment in a nice part of town when I had a transitional time in my life but took the time to analyze what it would cost to own my own space instead of renting. I moved into a beautiful small condo in the same part of town for just a few dollars more and never looked back. Take a sneak peak at condos in Albuquerque and see if you would rather own your own little piece of the air instead of making your landlord rich.

And then there is....

  These are great ways to get amazing deals on properties, but be aware that there is often a real time drawback to this type of purchase. A ‘short sale’ is where the seller still owns the house, it has not gone into foreclosure, but they owe more on the property than the market value will now support.  In order to facilitate this type of purchase it requires that the lien holder (the bank or mortgage company) has to agree to forgive the lien amount to an amount that will allow the sale.  So – there is a third party involved.  This third party is also a corporate entity, and I don’t think I need to say more about wading through that ditch. A foreclosure is where the bank now owns the property, and is trying to sell it to the highest bidder.  Again, you are dealing with an entity that has no time constraints and sometimes by their behavior you are going to think they don’t have any motivation either.  They also will not know anything at all about th...
