Finally Some Good News

Well not in real estate. After a week of watching our President humbling himself, and us, before the entire world, apologizing for our "arrogance" to a bunch of self-centered and self-serving Europeans and to a bunch of Muslims who wish us dead, and a political delegation making nice with the tyrannical Castro, 20 American crew members of an American merchant vessel overtook their hostage taking captors and regained control of their vessel. These 20 folks did enough in twelve hours for national pride to overwhelm the negative effects on that pride of our "leaders" recent activities. As a nation we are compassionate, and caring, and sharing, but we don't submit easily to injustice. Those same leaders might do well to consider this appropriate action of our people when they attempt their own acts of "piracy", on our institutions, our rights, and our freedoms.. We don't want our capital markets, our corporations, our health system, our schools, or our rights taken over by the Federal government and it would behoove the folks in Washington to note that actions have consequences. The action of these twenty merchantmen may not equal the famous "shot heard 'round the world", but if it serves as even a modest wake-up call it will be a good thing. It's already a good thing. We react when our independence is threatened. That made us the best nation on earth. When pushed, we push back, decisively, and it should be a lesson even Washington can understand.
In real estate matters, not much has changed. We have a great 100% financing program for people with a stable job and good credit who simply lack funds for a down payment. Applies to rural areas, Glenn, Colusa, Tehama, etc., some sections of Butte. Worth looking into now while home prices are depressed and interest rates are low.

As usual,
