Scottsdale Arizona Real Estate

Have you ever thought to relocate to Scottsdale Arizona? If you don't have to relocate your career it may be the perfect place for you. In New York City right now, it was only 30-degrees Fahrenheit. It has been a pretty cold winter in New York, I have to admit.

The rest of today, it got warmer, but it rained. Now I hear it never rains in Southern Arizona and California, but perhaps it does rain a little bit in the winter. Anyway, if you can pay $549,000 or get a good mortgage, you can get a huge beautiful home in the Eagle Pass Development. These homes, I have to admit are rather huge, about 2300 square feet that is. That apartment has 3 bedrooms and 3 baths and a two car garage. Also, my friends at http://www.scottsdalefineproperties.com have a foreclosure divisions, where hopefully you can get some good bargains. Cash is king, and if you have it you can buy just about anything that you want, not just at Alice's Restaurant.

Infrastructure is Good, Pres. Obama

Pres. Obama, infrastructure is good, and we need more. This stuff about giving people some pocket money to buy some cheap imports at K-Mart, this is a waste of time. It seems that only 10% of the $787 billion package is comprised of what could be called infrastructure projects, such as highway and school repair.

An exception to the dominant approach, however, came from President Obama himself. According to Politico.com, the President insisted on the inclusion of $8 billion for the development of high-speed rail corridors around the nation, even maglev trains. Politico.com, reporting the story under the headline "Obama plots huge railroad expansion," quoted an Obama campaign speech: "The time is right now for us to start thinking about high-speed rail as an alternative to air transportation connecting all these [Midwest] cities." Presidential Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel said the President considers high-speed rail his "signature issue." We all riding on the Maglev, of love, and we can't turn back, except for hanging out in my pink Cadillac.

Home Owner and Bank Protection Act on the move





We all riding on a freeway;
Home Owner Protection- don't look back;
We all riding in the collapse;
Real fast in my Pink Cadillac;


The HBPA was continuing to draw support from around the nation. The idea is to freeze the mortgage debt and mortgage backed securities. Have people pay a reasonable rental payment. Keep the banks open by Federal decree and protection from usurious debts. There is not a moment to lose. In Florida, where the resolution has been introduced there are 41,000 foreclosures in process in Ft. Meyers, and chaos in the legal system of Lee County, the surrounding area.

The HBPA has been passed in a motivational resolution in Albany, NY, population 94,000 and capital of NY. Yeah, New York, home of Franklin Roosevelt.

Roughing it in Cabins in Minnesota

You might be interested in cabins for sale in Minnesota to buy for a vacation home. Who knows, if you are retiring, you may want to move there the whole year round. Frankly, many of these areas are strictly resorts area, since they may not have the infrastructure for year-round living, but that's OK. Minnesota has long been known as the state of 10,000 lakes and a great way to enjoy them is buy buying a cabin.

The other alternative is RV Lots Minnesota to buy or rent. RV lots are great, and then you can hit the road and go to another location when you want to see the sites or you are bored. The key thing is to find out about Minnesota vacation Property to buy and enjoy. On community to find out about is the Pinehaven Resort, which is located on the beautiful Blackwater Lake, which is in the famous Brainerd lakes area of Minnesota. There are two other locations in the central and northern parts of Minnesota.

Homeowner's Protection and Banks too

Me and my buddies have been warning you for a long time about the problem of the crashing home mortgage market. This is dangerous because there is the potential to destabilize whole portions of the cities and towns of America. When, foreclosures reach a certain level, homes just become abandoned, even where people were able to pay their mortgage. One of the reasons is that the home equity drops so low, that people figure they might as well abandoned their home and rent somewhere. That is what is happening in mass with foreclosures, in the exurbs of Fort Myers, Florida, and locations in the Sacramento Metropolitan area of California.

Austin Texas Homes on the Market

Are you interested in Austin Lakefront Property? With the market down, there are a lot of opportunities if you can get some cash or get a home mortgage. Austin is probably unique among large cities for the huge amount of Lakefront property that is available. Six lakes were created in downtown Austin by damming the Colorado River, and in addition there is Lake Lady Bird. A lot of homes on the market are in foreclosure or are already owned by the bank. That is what they call REO Properties. Austin Real Estate Owned REO Properties are for the taking, if you can handle it. And why not? These are not huge sums of money that we are talking about.

Austin has always been a bit of a "weird" city. There is a huge leftist, artist and progressive community, and it helps if you are gay-friendly as well. The city is a haven for the environmentalist movement, because the beauty of the city is its waterfronts and its feel for the environment. And if you like to go fishing, the largemouth bass are out and for catching. This message about Austin real estate is brought to you by some of my friends at http://www.century21ripley.com.

Sad Situation on Home Mortgages

There is a surely horrible situation with so many people losing their homes. In fact, 10 million or more families are losing their homes. This can be confusing, because only 2-3 million people lose their homes a year. Nevertheless, at least 10 million out of 65 million homeowners in the United States are actually in the pipeline to lose their homes unless this insanity is stopped.

Will Obama's 75 billion dollar proposal stop it? It's hard to say, I am waiting for some experts to evaluate it, but at first glance, it will not work. We need LaRouche's Homeowner and Bank Protection Act.

Show Your Stuff at Acobay

As you struggle with your mortgage, why not show your stuff at Acobay. Acobay is a very nice sharing site where you get to show your stuff and find out what everybody thinks about it. I already showed off my new cell phone that has the little fm radio in it and my computer and my watch and my laptop, and wow. I just showed off about all my possessions left, after I ran out of cash trying to pay my ballooning mortgage on my house. Now, if I have to put my house on that site it might be a problem.

Real Estate What Next

With the latest horrendous reports of breakdown of the real estate market, the future is uncertain. The NY Times had the reports of California and Florida, where boom towns like Mountain View, Ca. and places near Ft. Meyers, Fla. have houses that have gone from $300,000 to $100,000, which is a pretty big drop, plus there is little employment in these areas. The South Bronx and Mott Haven is supposed to be hot (link) but this sounds like a self-serving announcement.

The party is still supposed to be on for Kelly's Furniture store, on Bruckner Blvd, by Lincoln Ave. It is true that this neighborhood and shopping district is a short drive over the bridge from Manhattan and also has quick subway service fairly close. It is a lot cheaper than renting a $3,000 loft in Manhattan, but remember, the trends of the last five years mean nothing now that the bubble has popped.

Can You Get a Loan?

When you look at your personal finance do you need a loan? Take a look at a web site that my friends have pointed out, Money Now USA! These people can find you a loan. They have real loans with interest rates of 5% to 20% that you pay back over 1-4 years. Some of these loans that are over $10,000 are going to require a home equity loan, so be careful, you know what is at stake.

The other type of loan that you can get is a payday loan. Pay day loans are fairly small, that is about the size of a paycheck. They are also at higher interest rates and are paid back in a shorter time. Now, if you have a large interest rate you have to pay it back in a short time, unless you want the debt to pyramid. Debt pyramids seems to be the reason that the real estate market and many loan markets have gone bad, so it is a definite no-no.

This website seeks out the best lender for you. When taking a loan, as we say in New York City, look at your possibilities. Is this money something that you need right now, and that you can pay back and get over? Don't make the mistake of gettting a loan that you can't handle.

Macy's Not Keeping the Pace

The reports of store closing and firings from the Macy's Department chain underlie the hard crashing of the economy. With the liquidation of Circuit City, the empty store fronts are definitely reaching into the Bronx, and Manhattan and hitting commercial real estate. When will Obama finally break with consensus politics and declare that the whole system is bankrupt? Then he can have the Treasury Department issue new credit and begin to put America back to work. Of course, that also means a New Bretton Woods and the agreement for ending speculation from the USA, China, India and Russia, as a seed-crystal for the new monetary system.
