More Trouble in Commercial: Luxury Hotel Owners

Mortgage Rates Hold Steady After Busy Week

Mortgage rates moved lower a few basis points yesterday after prices of mortgage backed securities steadily appreciated throughout the day. At 5pm, MBS prices were near their highest level in over 4 months. The main driving force of the move higher was a much weaker than expected existing home sales report. Since many believe that the economy will not recover until housing improves, this disappointing report led to investors selling stocks and moving their money into the relative safety of the fixed income market. Currently, MBS prices sit at the very top of the recent trading range that has kept mortgage rates relatively stable over the last few weeks. By days end lenders passed along the best rates we have seen since early summer. …(read more)

Mortgage Rates Improve Following Fed Statement

The secondary mortgage market went on quite a ride yesterday! Following a weaker than expected 5 year Treasury note auction, market participants hurriedly sold their fixed income investments ahead of the FOMC statement. This led to MBS falling below the recent range and a few lender reprices for the worse. However, following the release of the Fed statement, Treasuries rallied, the dollar recovered losses, and stocks sold off. When all was said and done MBS managed to close the day near the upper end of the current trading range, allowing lenders to reprice for the better, keeping mortgage rates in the same stable range they've in over the last few weeks. …(read more)

Is your primary concern to increase your sales and profitability?

If you’re like me, that is definitely your concern… especially today.

So where is the best opportunity today to increase your sales and profitability?

Online Video.

Did you know that over 10 BILLION videos are watched every single month… just in the U.S. alone! And people spend on average 3.5 minutes watching an online video.

This really is the future.

Actually, I have felt a little left behind on how to generate sales and leads on the Internet using online video-so I sought out the best online video expert out there to help us take advantage of web video.

We experimented with his system and with 1 little test video online we took a product that was not selling and generated just over $23,000 in 1 week!

Needless to say, that proof made me a believer.

Now we’re selling everything using his methodology.

And so I asked this man if I could interview him for you so you could see exactly how to harness the online power of video to ramp-up your own lead, sales, and revenue generating machine.

He’s helped many others take advantage of video. Folks like Tony Robbins, Mark Victor Hansen and Bob Allen.
