WHAT THE POLITICIANS ARE WORKING ON…. Maybe

… I did predict there would be big changes what with a national election looming up…

A one-time $100-BB tax rebate and tax incentives for employers to hire more workers
Temporary cut in corporate income taxes
Emergency assistance for owners who need extra money to help with high heating bills this winter
Proposals to expand loan modifications and payment relief for borrowers heading for serious delinquency or foreclosure
Widening “rate freeze” mortgage relief programs beyond just sub-prime borrowers to ALL borrowers, including those with prime credit, who find themselves in trouble on their mortgages
$MM’s for new assistance for local nonprofit counseling groups who reach out and guide mortgage borrowers in danger of losing their homes
Federal Tax Code amendment allowing state & local housing agencies to issue tax-exempt bonds to refinance loans of troubled homeowners (not just assisting new home purchasers) at low, fixed rates

Moratorium on foreclosures nationwide and legislative amendment allowing bankruptcy court judges to unilaterally reduce homeowners’ mortgage debts to lenders… BUT there is non-acceptance for these two issues from bankers and the mortgage industry

FORBES picked the best US cities to invest in and West Palm Beach came in 5th!

NOW is the time to buy. With many new developments going up, get in early! An uber golfing community is planned, Banyan Cay, a new city, Westlake, will have four builders creating communities, one of which will have 4000 units. Luxury Country Clubs like Ibis, Breakers West, Ironhorse, and Bayhill which uses PGA National courses and has a very nice public course across the street. Condo buildings are going up in various areas with midrise units and one complex with small condos for people who come on business for the weekends or for short trips – better to be in your own home than a hotel. Uber luxury condos are going up along the Intracoastal Waterway. Lots of properties available… going fast… 561-302-3388 for listings emailed as soon as we hear from you! Text OK.
