Interest Rate Update for 04/16/13


So today I taught a Lunch and Learn about Time Management to a dozen of my referring realtors. We talked about tactics to save you one hour a day, and how to avoid derailment! Or at least make it shorter in nature. If you are like me, you can sit at your desk and get LOST in paperwork literally for hours. SET YOUR IPHONE TIMER to 15, 20,30 minutes (example) that you want to QUIT the task, and it will sound off, and bring you back into the reality that you need to move onto something else!

No market news this week. RATES ARE LOW. THAT’S IT!

TAX DEADLINE IS Monday, April 15!

A GREAT ARTICLE about the Tax Benefits of Homeownership:
