A Better Hardship Letter
I listened to some of your comments about my original hardship letter and wrote a new one: We’re talking: Typed, 14 point Times New Roman font, 1.5 line spacing – apparently some people didn’t like my handwriting – this looks more professional. No more sappy story about me quitting my job, wanting to become a […]

What’s a Good Story Without a Comeback?

Is This a Scam? Goals for This Blog
Reading through the initial feedback I received, many people think that I am making this up. They think I’m just blogging about facing foreclosure to get traffic, exposure, leads, whatever.

Last Foreclosure… No Houses, No Money, No Stereo
Today I lost my last property to foreclosure. The worst part is that BOTH the first and second approved the short sale but the first (Countrywide) refused to give the buyer a small extension to close. They had a solid offer for $300,000 on the table! The pool and spa is still a mess as […]
