Avoiding Foreclosure via Short Sale and/or For Sale by Owner

My View on College
I decided to address my views on going to college because I seem to get lots of criticism on this issue and I believe it relates to my foreclosure story. I chose to skip college right after high school because I was offered a $30,000/yr salaried position at a startup company (Sevant.com) with benefits and […]
Utah Property Staged and Wrapped!
I’m happy to announce the Highland Utah property closed yesterday. It would not have been possible without the help of my awesome agents Harvey and Robyn and Christoffersen.

CashCall says: $220 by 12PM Tomorrow or Else… Donation?
I called CashCall two days ago to see if we can work out a payment plan and consider all my options. The CashCall rep that is assigned to me was pretty friendly and took my financial statement over the phone and gave me some options. Because of my income I didn’t qualify for a loan […]
My True Credit Score / FICO Score
I listened to you guys from last post on my credit score and tried a couple of other credit score services: MyFico.com and Experian.com. I think TrueCredit.com service I used to look up my credit score before is either inaccurate or lagging. They are definitely not living up to their name. The three credit scores […]
