New Foreclosure Roadblocks From States

So according to the Realtor.org buzz today, here’s what some states have been up to:

Ohio: Hired 1,000+ attorneys to work with borrowers to block foreclosures (FREE OF CHARGE TO THE HOMEOWNER!)
Illinois: Seriously considering a 60-day moratorium on some foreclosures.

Barstool Economics

In response to my “Obama Vs. McCain” post earlier today, Tim (ME) posted a bit of witty wisdom in the forum that I just can’t NOT post here in the blog.

Should Craigslist Be Cleared of Housing Bias?

If you’re reading these words right now, chances are very high that you’re at least somewhat familiar with the online über-classifieds destination Craig’s List. 
A while back we even did a couple of reviews of Craig’s list-related Real Estate Marketing Service and Teamwork Lead System.

Death To Real Estate Pitchinars?

Yeah, it’s a made-up word.  I didn’t make it up. Some guy named Steve did (not Steve Cook).
But even so, I’ll bet you know exactly what I mean by it, don’t you?
