I’m Not Sure…
By Mitch Berg
…if, given all the trouble in this world and all the people that are in genuine trouble, it’s even appropriate to wonder, much less ask this.
But those of us who believe are urged to “bring everything to God in prayer” – so this probably qualifies (and for those who don’t – well, what can it hurt you, right?).
Soooooo…
…if anyone could spare a prayer, karmic imprecation or best wish that my attempt at a mortgage refinance to get out of my really miserable ARM might go through, in and among all the serious prayers for people who really, really do need divine assistance, an infusion of chi, or whatever it is you believe in (or don’t), I’d much appreciate it.
(That, and/or if you’re a mortgage lender who appreciates a bit of a challenge, drop me a line. I’d love to do business with ya).

I’ll do my best from an electoral standpoint to get this economy back into shape *grin*
But since you can’t wait till November, check your E-Mail *laughing*

An ARM? Yeah, you’re in serious need of prayer right now.

Check in with the Crazy Uke. He’s a mortgage wizard.

First it was dissing Direct Buy. Now blegging for a mortgage broker. Do you listen to the Pattriet at all? Jeesh. No wonder 1280 can’t afford to pay you anything other than station logo tee shirts and the occasional hot dog at the White Bear Lake Superstore.

In March ’04 I locked in a 4 3/8, 15 year fixed and still kept over 50% equity. I am one of the lucky ones.
Now that we are thinking about moving, it is hard to walk away from our current rate. We may just sit tight for another year or so.

We had similar luck as Flash when we refinanced in ’03 with Northwest Mortgage and got out of our ARM. Prayers up to ya.

Seconding Chad’s recommendation on the Crazy Uke. Call me if you want his number.

Ouch. A bad time to be left hanging out at that particular party. Good luck man.

Oh dear. Angryclown prays he’s never forced to rely for his financial health on the intelligence and probity of someone named “Crazy Uke.”

So Crazy Uke sounds worse than Angryclown? Who would YOU eather get a mortgage from?
