In addition, they provide the loan in a short amount of time-usually within several weeks depending on the mortgage terms.

Additionally, I have heard about "seasoning" issues of loans.

Based upon this data we are looking at a projection of over 50 Major Disasters to hit the US by the end of 2006In addition, we are still recovering from fires in California, Colorado, New New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas.Yet, we are still going to have to deal with past Hurricane damage.And we still face dry conditions in various parts of the United States that produce fires and we have yet to step into the Atlantic hurricane season that lasts from June to November, with the peak season from mid-August to late October.On top of all this over 350 tornadoes have been recorded as of April and this could be one of the most active and deadly seasons in historyFor more data see: http://www.spc.noaa.gov and To compare from 2005 to 2006 see: http://www.spc.noaa.gov/climo/online/monthly/index.htmlAs an investor we are tough to research property titles, market value and market trends but one major area that is left out is storm trends.Why storm trends.

Thanks J, I'll start a new post for additional feedback.

If you keep the property, you can rent it out and make almost $1000 a month in profits - a nice addition to any income you have and a good stream for many years to come.What about refinancing?

In addition, we can also fax out to anywhere toll-free as well - so we elimanted long distance charges.We still have a fax machine, but we rarely ever have to use it now.All in all, we are saving about $200/month.

With the addition of not charging yourself rediculous points, you'll get a check after the loan is closed. $2500 to be exact.

I will as well.In addition, if anyone wants listings from the Panama City Fl area to promote in their newsletter or other advistement, I'd be happy to give you some special listings.We offer a fair referral fee to all agents in all areas.

Additionally, I began to invest in Real Estate because I wanted a way to hopefully retire early and have the means to send my children to college.

And I realize how important it is to "slam every nickle" into the mortgage because when I used one of those mortgage calculators, adding an additional 100-200 dollars makes a HUGE difference in the amount of interest you would pay out for the life of the loan.
