Okay, so the subject line is long - but, believe it or not I cut it short. It could have been, "First Time Home Buyers can couple $7500 Tax Credit and Low Interest Rates and high inventories to buy Longwood Real Estate" We are seeing an unbelievable 'perfect storm' for buyers! Beware though - when it comes to mortgage rates, sometimes it's better to "act now"... and no, that isn't just salesmanship - its the difference between a rate in the 4% range and the 5% range.
Last Tuesday, mortgage rates plummeted to their lowest levels in four years. Now, I love when mortgage hacks are right for the wrong reasons - don't you? Many have pontificated that it was because...

Well Good News for Lake Mary mortgage rates! The Federal Open Market Committee [maybe we will just call them the FED] voted to cut the Fed Funds Rate by at least three-quarters percent Tuesday.
The benchmark rate now rests in a range of 0.000-0.250%... and no, that doesn't mean your mortgage will be at 0%. [Typically you will add 3% to that number to attain the PRIME Rate - which is what many Home Equity Lines, car loans, credit cards, and equipment loan are based upon.] In its press release, the FED ID'd 3 key sectors...

In a world that seems to be consumed with consumption - sorry for the play on words - and kids that are only interested in getting 'things' there are a few heart warming stories that warm the heart -doooh... i did it again. [I sound like Yogi]
A good friend of mine, and a solid family man, recently shared a story that should be shouted from the roof tops. Rather than me messin' it up, here is Ted in his own words:
Caleb came home with straight A's on his report card. Of course I was proud and yes I'm bragging here. I asked him what he would like as a reward expecting him to say Chucky Cheese, a new X box game, a trip to the movies (something big). Wow was I wrong. He said "dad, I wanna shave with you again" Are you kidding me? That's it--shave with dad.Let me rewind. About a month ago, Caleb observed me shaving and asked if he could try it. I let him lather up with some Edge gel and then I handed him a disposable with the plastic still covering the blade. I guess he REALLY enjoyed the experience.This made me realize how something so small and insignificant to me (adults) can be a huge deal with our children. That 3 minutes of "SPECIAL" 1 on 1 attention that I spent withmy son a month ago seemed so irrelevant at the time.The entire story reminded me of a quote."Your children want your presence more than presents"
Ted is a normal guy just like you and me, but he just seems to invest in his family like the rest of us want to an try hard to do. He is also a local author! He wrote Springing Forward which can be found at Amazon.If you have questions for Ted or would just like to catch up with an all-around-good-guy, you can reach him at springingforward [at] yahoo [dot] com

This is not meant to be a political post, but merely a post about truth and how it is not being taught in the public school system.
It is no mystery that the public education system is failing our children, but I think only a small part falls at the feet of the front line... it is more of an institutional and union issue in my mind, but I digress....anddddd... this isn't a rant post. Like him or not, and I know that some of my readers will not be able to get past this, Rush nailed this True story of Thanksgiving.
We are taught that the Pilgrims were an incompetent group of boobs and were saved by the Indians... revisionist history at best. Brace yourself... you may never have heard this before and i encourage you to seek out the FACTS yourself if you doubt the balance of this post.
The Mayflower set sail in the summer of 1620. On its deck it carried a group of just over 100 people [including 40 Pilgrims] led by William Bradford. On the journey, Bradford set up an agreement, a contract, that established just and equal laws for all members of the new community, irrespective of their religious beliefs.
Where did the revolutionary ideas expressed in the Mayflower Compact come from?

Anyone can say anything about themselves. Whoopy! See what my PAST CLIENTS are saying... http://www.orlandomortgagepro.com/What_people_are_saying.htm
Welcome
Don't HATE me because I am conservative with YOUR money! Let someone else take the risks.
Feel free to check me out here, but if you prefer, you can go directly to one of the following:

Orlando Real Estate and the Mortgage Chili Blog
I have a reputation for my highly relational approach to my Orlando mortgage business and intentionally blur the lines between business and friendships.
"All things being equal, people would rather do business with people they like. I believe that all things not being equal, people would still rather do business with people they like."
It is with this philosophy that I have built one of the most loyal groups of clients [read: friends!] and successful mortgage and Orlando credit repair practices in the Central Florida arena.
Don't be surprised if you hear me ask, "How can I help you in your [life, business, etc.] today?" And when I does, know that it is driven by a sincere desire to serve those around me... pay it forward so to speak.
I have a record of self improvement that would rival that of anyone in the industry. I either am or have been aligned with:
I have also invested in my community with my time:
I, Chris Brown, pride myself as NOT always being available, and surprisingly,when I took that approach long ago, my business grew! If you don't make the time in your life for the things that are truly important, you will fill your time with things that are not. For me, it is God First, family second, business third. I am only able to pour my life into my clients because I build boundaries to recharge my batteries with my family and my Creator."
