    Money Market Investing and New Home Purchasing

    Great question. Real estate commissions are way out of whack. The entire structure is flawed. Why does the guy with the 200k house pay 12,000 and the guy with the 400k house pays $24,000? The selling process is EXACTLY the same on both houses. We don’t do twice the work, not even close. So...

    Money Market Investing and New Home Purchasing

    Learn as much as you can. Read about the pros and cons of owning vs renting. Owning is not always the best option. But a great first step is finding a lender you can trust. I think credit unions are a great option as they have low closing costs and typically pretty good rates. To find a great...

    Money Market Investing and New Home Purchasing

    I feel bad for anyone that has been working with unethical Realtors. I'm not going to say there are not some bad apples out there, certainly that is true of any industry. I can only speak for myself. 15 years doing this, A+ BBB rating, hundreds of great reviews and a clean track record with...

    Money Market Investing and New Home Purchasing

    Some potentially scary advice being given here in relation to down payments, getting to 20% when you are short of it etc. Anything involving having a set purchase price and then inflating it only to get money back has the potential to get into mortgage fraud. That is very bad stuff. Prison type...

    Money Market Investing and New Home Purchasing

    You def do not "have to" have 20% on a home. If you do an FHA loan, you need 3.5% and most conventional loans can be done with a 5% down payment. 20% is a nice goal to be able to avoid having to pay extra each month, but if you are gonna rent for 2-3 years to get that 20%, you will throw that...

    KXNO/iHeart Layoffs

    Some real estate chatter in here and since I am involved, I am happy to separate fact from fiction for any who care to know the truth on a couple things. 1. Ross is joining Charter House and is excited to do so. Ross and I have been friends for years and he is excited to be able to help people...

    Question for charter/fawcast

    I'm here! A legit review is nothing to sue about. You can't please all the people all the time. The one that upset me was done entirely to harm me. It was left by someone who did not live in Iowa and had never used my services. The entire intent of the review was to hurt my business. If the...

    Paying for Iowa State

    I encourage you to think creatively about this. Here is one example. What are you good at? If you have a skill in something that a business owner can benefit from, you are onto something. For instance, you know how to do web design or coding. I would happily agree to pay you $1000 per year...

    Paul Shirley Interview

    The larger point here is this is a Cyclone site, and this is an in depth interview with a Cyclone player that has some great insight and stories to tell. We think people will find it to be a very enjoyable listen and learn some things they did not know. Too many coaches and players are afraid...

    Paul Shirley Interview

    Hey we can lead a horse to water but can't make him drink. If you don't want to hear about making a tv pilot, the players ISU was going to get, a Roy Williams story, The craziest thing a coach has ever said, and whether or Not someone threw the Hampton game, that works for us!:)
