Don’t get in a mess

We live in a world where we can buy anything we want with out cash. We use credit cards, mortgages, and home equity loans. Unfortunately it all has to be paid back with interest and that can mess things up. Think before you borrow.

Don’t bug me for a couple of days

I have no idea what this is but I think Larry will like it because it looks kind of gross and may need to be undressed. He will be back soon to bug us all.

I Think I have Ticked Jim Off A Bit - A Lot? Read The Comments

I bring this comment from Nathaniel (no link sorry Nathaniel) to a post status. Why? Not because I liked it, I almost didn’t let it go live as I thought it self serving. But Hey, he challenged me, and this is a transparent website.

The comment: Hey Larry, How much weight does saying brokers need to have a realtor on their side have these days, given that so much business is created online? I just feel like so many companies generate their business from the internet, and thus will usually have clients from all over the country. The days of loan officers being the guy up the block all the time are gone, realtors may still be more confined by geography but lenders are not.

TO THE CONSUMER: If there is a trend as Nathaniel implies, don’t be a sucker. Maybe I can make what I preach make sense with this point: Loan Officers can be too busy, even greedy. There are things they can do for the sake of an extra $1000 or so. Would they mess around or give second rate service to a client that is found on the internet, one they have no other business or personal relationship with? They might. Would they do that to client tied to a realtor that is the source of repeated business? Probably not.

So avoid the internet lenders. Disregard Nathaniels comment for your own financial good will. Larry Cragun

Saturday We Have Fun With Bugs

It started with a wise crack I made to this blogger in St. Paul. I commented on how cute the box elder bugs were, she had just posted them. She hates box elder bugs it seems, so we began a dialogue on bugs undressed.

Today is her turn. She wanted to have the Saturday bugs undressed. I wish I trusted her more, she seems to have the ability to get my goat.

OK OK Teresa is amazing. But I hear she got her video from Bonnie Erickson. Bad Bonnie.

Continued - I just visited Bonnies website and she admits it in this article:

Blog Wars

FightTeresa Boardman of St Paul Real Estate Blog and Larry Cragun of Mortgages Undressed have been duking it out on their blogs for quite some time now. It all started with Teresa’s post about box elder bugs which she detests and Larry thought were cute. As often happens in the blog world, posts take on a life of their own and Larry began a “Bugs Undressed” and a “Don’t Bug Me” series in which he posts bugs, but really takes the day off from blogging. It’s a great idea . . . one I wish I had
