JemifusBlog: Points Don't Pay
http://jemifus.blogspot.com/2007/01/points-dont-pay.html
Musings on personal finance, real estate, and other stuff. Monday, January 01, 2007. A new study coauthored by Penn State and Freddie Mac shows that an overwhelming majority of the time, homebuyers buy more points than they should. The study showed that only 1.4% of borrowers who bought points ended up holding the mortgage long enough to make the points ROI positive. Of the people who didn't buy points, only 1.5% of people would have been better off purchasing them. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

How, then, can they explain this report from Fannie Mae. That half of the sub-prime loans they purchased in 2005 were held by borrowers that could have qualified for prime loans? Let's pause for a second to digest that. Enter your email address:.

http://jemifus.blogspot.com/2007/06/contrarian-on-interest-only-arms.html
Musings on personal finance, real estate, and other stuff. Tuesday, June 19, 2007. A Contrarian on Interest Only ARMs. So let's assume you've got full use of your cognitive facilities, and actually get the best loan for which you qualify. But should it be a conventional, ARM, or what? Obviously not an interest-only ARM. as we've already assumed you're not stupid. But wait. here's a contrarian view. On my behalf, and I'd never pay off that loan if I didn't have to. PS-Thanks for visiting my blog! I'll be ...

Musings on personal finance, real estate, and other stuff. Sunday, March 18, 2007. Real Estate Prices Explained. From today's New York Times Magazine is one of the most straightforward explanations I've seen for the factors impacting real estate prices.

JemifusBlog: Put back that airplane pillow
http://jemifus.blogspot.com/2007/04/put-back-that-airplane-pillow.html
Musings on personal finance, real estate, and other stuff. Saturday, April 28, 2007. Put back that airplane pillow. Maybe I'm naive, but somehow I assumed that airlines replaced the pillow cases on those little white pillows after every flight. Not so much. It turns out. Airlines mostly use the time at the gate to re-fold the blankets and pick up trash. Ugh. On another note, I recently bought one of those inflatable neck pillows. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

JemifusBlog: Back from hiatus
http://jemifus.blogspot.com/2007/04/back-from-hiatus.html
Musings on personal finance, real estate, and other stuff. Wednesday, May 02, 2007. Well, I'm back from my honeymoon. The last month and change has been consumed with preparation and all kinds of things that are generally incompatible with the advice of personal finance professionals. Oh well, I figure as long as we did everything with our eyes wide open, and know exactly where everything fits in my master plan to retire very young, it's all right.
