A Word In Defense of Florida Rooms
Are Florida rooms really that bad? A Realtor in Arizona, Elizabeth Newlin, recently wrote a howling criticism of Florida rooms called "A Bitch Slap Regarding Arizona Rooms", and I feel compelled to write a rebuttal to her commentary, because it's obvious that she just doesn't "get it". It's probably not her fault; after all she calls these sunny, enclosed spaces "Arizona Rooms",...

Bank of America Short Sales in Maryland Seem To Be Getting Easier
I can't believe what I'm about to write: Bank of America short sales are actually getting easier! I just got approval on a short sale with them in under 50 days!
