Glad the situation is improving.
Participant[quote=Allan from Fallbrook][quote=eavesdropper][quote=SD Transplant]Ditto again to Rich’s most unique and valuable RE/financial/economic web resource community. I’ve became a pigg while reasearching RE trends for a MBA paper more than 4 years ago (I’m on my 2nd log name 🙂
Kuddos also to all the contributors that make this a great and valuable source of information. Lots of money saved, great ideas, and experiences are shared here.[/quote]
Tastes great, too!!
Seriously, I LOVE Piggs! It is my one guilty pleasure. (And before you all start shaking your heads over what an empty life I have, I DO have other pleasures. I just don’t feel guilty about them.)
All the stuff mentioned above, plus great range of subject matter discussed (for the most part) by intelligent, creative, humorous, and reasonably open-minded participants…….who can spell AND use punctuation correctly!!
Does it get any better than that?
Oh, and the price is right. Except in terms of the amount of time I sometimes expend.[/quote]
Eaves: I used “prelapsarian” in a post and you missed it.[/quote]
Alan, you are absolutely linguicious! That one actually made me light-headed.
I’ve had to discipline myself this weekend (and I don’t mean in a fun way). I’m cramming for exams, so have had to severely curtail my Piggs time. It’s been quite painful.
Sometimes I think you do this just to torture me. You brute.

October 17, 2010 at 11:00 AM in reply to: Daily Show – Mortgage Bankers Association strategically defaults #619012Participant[quote=equalizer]WSJ did report on this back in Feb, but story never made the big time. Time to follow Canadian model and force banks to hold their loans.
“Mortgage Bankers Association Sells Headquarters at Big Loss.”
Quote from the above-mentioned story:
“When the MBA announced the purchase of the building in early 2007, the trade group’s president at the time, Jonathan Kempner, said: “We have come to the inescapable conclusion that owning our own building was the smartest long-term investment for the association.”Huh?! 2007 ??? It gets better:
“In October 2009, however, the MBA informed its members that it had put the building up for sale. At that time, the MBA said that continued ownership of the building, which was financed with $75 million of variable-rate debt, would be ‘economically imprudent’.
“The MBA spokeswoman said some members have since then concluded that the trade group shouldn’t be in the business of owning real estate.”
Boy! Not much gets past these people. Of course, it begs the question of who, exactly, do they think should be in the business of owning real estate. Especially when you consider the highly improbable applicants for whom many of the members of the Mortgage Bankers Association were writing mortgages.
