As reported in the NewsGazette today Carle Foundation Hospital plans to file an application next month with the Illinois Health Facilities Planning Board seeking permission to undertake its most ambitious modernization project ever on the central Urbana campus. What does this mean for Champaign/Urbana? That's yet to be seen but at the outset the news is good. Our local economy is somewhat insulated due the nature of it's makeup. The UofI, Kraft Foods and two large hospitals just to name a few of our employers. In times of economic uncertainty food production goes up at Kraft because people eat out less, undergrad students go to graduate school because good jobs are harder to find, and with the onset of the baby boomers healthcare will explode!

The Commerce Department reported Thursday that construction was started on 1.353 million new homes and apartments last year, down 24.8 percent from 2006. It was the second biggest annual decline on record, exceeded only by a 26 percent plunge in 1980, a period when the Federal Reserve was pushing interest rates to post-World War II records in an effort to combat an entrenched inflation problem. Many economists believe that the current slump in housing will rival the dive in the late 1970s and early 1980s when housing construction fell for four straight years before beginning to recover after the severe 1981-82 recession. For December, construction fell by a bigger-than-expected 14.2 percent, marking the weakest pace of home building in more than 16 years. Building permits fell 8 percent last month to 1.07 million, the lowest level since 1993.

We used Aaron for three mortgages over the past 5 years and were excited he made the move into real estate. When we decided to list our home we called him first since we knew his service would be first class. He gave us straight forward answers to our questions and took care of all the details. But, the thing that really set him apart was his understanding of the numbers, he made it clear for us just like he did our mortgage. He was able help us determine what the profit from our sale would be and advice on how best to use it on our purchase. In the end he also gave us an unbiased opinion of four different mortgage approvals from differnt lenders. The stress of buying and selling is bad enough, it's nice when you have a real professional working on your side. ---- Julie S --
My wife and I wanted to buy a rental property because we thought it would be a great investment to help pay for our daughter's college. We watched television commercials on how to do it, bought books but it was just so overwhelming. In March of 2007 we heard Aaron speak at an investment seminar in Champaign and really liked what he said. His passion for the business got us excited and we decided to call him in October. In less than a month we found a home, made an offer and it was accepted, we couldn't believe it!! Not only did he help us buy the property but gave us tons of extra advice and resources to help build our rental business. THANKS AARON (Matt H)
Before Aaron was our realtor he was our mortgage loan officer. We used him to purchase our first home and no sooner than our offer was accepted my Marine Corps reserve unit got activated to go overseas. Needless to say my wife and I were freaked out but Aaron told us not to worry we would still be able to buy our house. We tell all our friends about him and how he does a great job we appreciate his hard work. John D
Thanks so much for all of your hard work, dedication, and concern for our first home !! We really appreciate it..
Mike & Colleen K.
