Why Did Fannie Mae Fail?
October 10th, 2008 Categories: Mortgage Help, News
With all that is going on in the mortgage and banking world right now, don’t you wonder WHY? Why did this mess begin? What started it? Didn’t anyone see it coming?
Yes – someone saw it coming. The New York Times actually reported it coming back on September 30th in 1999. How many years ago is that? Maybe it was while Clinton was President, not George Bush….
In 1999 Steven Holmes from the New York Times wrote that Fannie Mae was under extreme pressure from the Clinton Administration to expand mortgage loans to low and moderate income people. In doing this “Fannie Mae is taking on significantly more risk, which may not pose any difficulties during flush economic times…. but may run into trouble in an exonomic downturn, prompting a government rescue similar to that of the savings and loan industry in the 1980′s”.
Do you remember the 80′s when WE bailed out the savings and loan industry? Often times we forget our past, our history and with that we repeat it over and over. Bailout – something new? NO WAY! We do it over and over and over. As much as I disliked my history courses in school and as much as my husband will razz me over saying this….
Maybe we should pay more attention to our past so we do not continue to repeat it but instead make better choices for our future.

Where O Where O Where Can I Be?
October 5th, 2008 Categories: Where Am I?
Any idea where this stands? Just got back from my trip to New Braunsfels with my daughter and 2 of her friends. No – this is not in New Braunsfels but could I have seen it on the way there?
Yes, it is within the real estate sales area of Century 21 Beal. Yes, it could be in Bryan or College Station or Caldwell or Hearne depending on which way I went to New Braunsfels. Do you know?
Be the first to post what road it is nearest to and what business or institution or home it stands in front of and be the WINNER!!! You’ll forever be known as Boxy…

I Can See My Child’s Grades ONLINE!!!
October 3rd, 2008 Categories: Schools
Did you know that you can check your child’s grade ONLINE now at the Junior High and High School level?
No – you don’t have to wait until they hopefully bring their report cards home. You can login and see their grades in real time as the teacher inputs them. You’ll know if homework is being turned in, if tests are being passed adn if you are looking at spending the weekend at home while they are grounded or if you’ll be out celebrating their successes.
Just another GREAT feature of College Station schools.
