Greetings from wintry Chicago where mortgage rates, as they are across the nation, are back to May 2019 levels. Did you know that the name "Chicago" comes from either a Native American word for wild onion, or a striped skunk, depending on one’s mood. Here you don’t have to go too far for a wiener: There are more than 2,000 hot dog stands in the city of Chicago, more than the number of Burger Kings, McDonald's, and Wendy's restaurants in the city co...

I received this from a loan officer in Michigan. “Forget the Serenity Prayer! Grant me coffee to change the things I can, and wine to accept those that I cannot.” There are tens of thousands of loan originators around the United States, primarily changing things for the better for their clients but recently some of them were caught taking a fraudulent continuing education class. Unrelatedly, one (former) Ohio Mayor claimed that ice fishing can lead to prostitution. Attorney Brian L...

Sometimes, someone unexpected comes into your life outta nowhere, makes your heart race, and changes you forever. We call those people cops. (Where did you think that was going?)

U.S. consumer prices jumped 7.5 percent year-over-year in January to hit a four-decade high. Of course, it's important to note that inflation differs across...

Everyone has a story about something they said or asked that they shouldn’t have. “When are you due?” is a good one, as is asking, “When did you turn 60?” when the person is only 55. But forecasters are out in force, saying things about interest rates they may, or may not, regret later. Analysts at Citigroup and Goldman Sachs, for example, expect an interest-rate increase likely forthcoming from the Federal Reserve to be less than the widely predicted half-per...

While brokers have taken note of UWM suing America’s MoneyLine for sending loans to Rocket and Fairway (remember UWM’s policy plainly stated last March), this week I head to Florida, which retirees humorously refer to as “God’s waiting room.” The state has its share of expected hot markets for 2022 per Zillow, as does the rest of the Sunbelt. Apparently, people in the northern climes are weary of the yearly weather cycle, and, as usual, expect to establish resi...
