Absolutely 💯. I am a strong believer of positive criticism and not compliments. That’s how you learn and get better. A lot of people can’t take criticisms. With compliments most people take it to a new arrogance level. However, compliments are well served for people who deserve compliments. Kevin DeLory and Eddy G Perez Jr. Deserve respect and compliments for setting the foundation of EPM. There’s a reason why a mortgage company produces great employees like Christian Sorenson. It’s folks like Christian Sorenson that make a great company. It’s due to a strong foundation. Great leadership makes a great company and differentiates from the mediocre competition. Competition never sleeps. Thanks for everything you do Mr. Perez and Mr. DeLory. Giving us loan officers the opportunity to do tough loans gives the dream of homeownership become a reality for hard working Americans. You guys are the true silent heroes who are appreciated and not taken for granted. Love all your inspirational videos, sir. Don’t stop being you. Never try to miss Mr. DeLory’s videos no matter how hectic my day is.

Money is not wealth. Money comes and goes. However, you need to realize how many millionaires lost everything they have and had to restart over. Wealth is relationships. You cannot take that away. However you need two people who are committed to make the relationship work.

If the FHA Title I loan is under $7,500, the title I loan is considered an unsecured personal renovation loan. However, any Title I loans greater that $7,500 up to $25,000 is considered a second mortgage and the lien is placed on the house behind the first mortgage.

I like to introduce my dear friend Bill Burg
Bill Burg and I go back 2017 which is six years. I hired Bill i n2017 at USA Mortgage. I was boufgr Mr. Burg was hired as a loan officer.

German Shepherds with long coats are a variety of the breed that has a longer, silkier coat compared to the standard short-haired German Shepherds. These long coats can be the result of a genetic variation in the breed, and they are not as common as the short-coated German Shepherds. The long coat variation is still recognized by kennel clubs and breed standards.
When it comes to German bloodlines, there are several well-known bloodlines and breeding programs in Germany that have produced high-quality German Shepherds. These bloodlines often prioritize specific traits, such as temperament, working ability, and conformation to the breed standard. Some of the famous German bloodlines known for producing excellent German Shepherds include:
-
West German Working Lines (WGL): These lines are known for their strong work ethic, intelligence, and versatility. They are often used in various working roles, including police work, search and rescue, and Schutzhund.
-
East German DDR Lines: Dogs from the former East Germany (DDR) were bred for their endurance and courage. They have a different appearance and temperament compared to West German Shepherds and were originally used for border patrol and military work.
-
Czech Working Lines: These German Shepherds are highly regarded for their work in protection sports like IPO (formerly known as Schutzhund). They are known for their intense drive and athleticism.
-
Show Lines: Some German Shepherds come from show lines, which prioritize conforming to the breed standard in terms of appearance. These dogs may not have the same working ability as those from working lines but are still bred for good temperament.
-
American Lines: American breeders have developed their own lines, often mixing German and American dogs. Some of these lines prioritize specific traits for different purposes, such as show, working, or family pets.
When you’re looking for a German Shepherd from specific bloodlines or with a long coat, it’s essential to do thorough research and find a reputable breeder. Reputable breeders will have a strong understanding of their dog’s lineage, health, and temperament, and they will be transparent about the bloodlines they work with.
Always prioritize the health and well-being of the dog over aesthetics or specific bloodlines, and consider adopting from a rescue organization or shelter, as there are often many wonderful German Shepherds in need of loving homes regardless of their bloodlines or coat type.

It was a pleasure speaking with Kelce Rock, a residential, business, and commercial loan officer with his own team and extensive experience in commercial and business loan originator. Mr. Kelce Rock truly goes above and beyond for his clients and I have absolutely no doubt Kelce will make a phenomenal state senator and future member of U.S. Congress where he will make a difference. We need politicians who serve American Families and not dumbocrats like Imbecile Biden and Sex and Crack Addict Hunter Biden who enrich themselves and are known pedophiles. Dumbass Hunter Crackhead Biden has absolutely no morals and even goes and marries his dead brother’s wife. What a pig.

The government says inflation is 10%. The government are liars. Have you noticed the cost of goods at the local grocery store. A 12 pack of soda cost $3.99 just a year ago. Cost of a 12 pack of soda is now over $10.00. That’s a 300% increase in price. I remember buying a two liter plastic bottle of RC for 0.99 cents. Now any two litter soda is $3.50 to $4.00. I can go on and on. A fully decked out brand new pick up truck or SUV can cost $100,000. With skyrocketing inflation numbers, Mortgage rates surpassing 8%, wages remain the same. I remember not to long ago a $100,000 annual salary was considered high income and wealthy. $100,000 with the inflation rates today is lower middle class. If you work for the government, you will get raises because the government print dollars through their printing press. There needs to be a change and people need to wake up and stop being in a state of denial

Inflation refers to the general increase in prices of goods and services in an economy over a period of time, leading to a decrease in the purchasing power of money. When inflation occurs, each unit of currency buys fewer goods and services than it did before. It is usually expressed as an annual percentage rate.
Inflation can be caused by various factors, but some common drivers include:
-
Demand-Pull Inflation: This occurs when the overall demand for goods and services exceeds the available supply. When demand outstrips supply, prices tend to rise.
-
Cost-Push Inflation: This type of inflation is caused by an increase in the production costs for businesses, such as rising labor costs or raw material prices. As businesses pass these increased costs onto consumers, it leads to higher prices.
-
Built-in Inflation: This is also known as wage-price inflation and occurs when businesses raise prices to compensate for increased labor costs, and workers, in turn, demand higher wages to keep up with the rising prices.
-
Monetary Factors: The money supply in an economy can also influence inflation. If the central bank prints more money without a corresponding increase in economic output, it can lead to too much money chasing too few goods, causing inflation.
Inflation is typically measured using various price indices, such as the Consumer Price Index (CPI) or the Producer Price Index (PPI), which track changes in the prices of a representative basket of goods and services.
Some level of inflation is generally considered normal and even desirable in modern economies. A moderate and stable inflation rate can encourage spending and investment and can help avoid deflation, which is a persistent decrease in prices that can be damaging to economic growth.
Central banks and governments often aim to keep inflation at a target rate (usually around 2% in many advanced economies) through monetary and fiscal policies. However, when inflation becomes too high or too volatile, it can erode the value of savings, disrupt financial planning, and create economic instability. Conversely, low or negative inflation can also have adverse effects on the economy, such as encouraging hoarding and deferring spending. Striking the right balance is essential for maintaining a healthy and sustainable economy.

Buying a house is a significant life event and requires thorough preparation. Here’s a generalized step-by-step guide that could help you with the process of buying a house in Alabama or any other state:
1. **Determine Your Budget**: Before you start looking at homes, figure out how much you can afford to spend. A common rule of thumb is that your monthly mortgage payment should not exceed 28% of your gross monthly income. Don’t forget to factor in other costs, like homeowners insurance, property taxes, maintenance costs, and HOA fees if applicable.
2. **Check Your Credit Score**: Your credit score will significantly influence your mortgage interest rate. Ensure your credit score is in good standing; if not, you might want to improve it before applying for a mortgage.
3. **Save For a Down Payment**: It’s usually recommended to have a down payment of at least 20% of the home price to avoid paying private mortgage insurance (PMI). However, many loan programs allow for lower down payments, some as low as 3.5% or even 0% for certain types of loans.
4. **Get Pre-Approved for a Mortgage**: Before you start house hunting, get pre-approved for a mortgage. This will make your offer more attractive to sellers and give you an idea of how much house you can afford.
5. **Find a Real Estate Agent**: A good real estate agent with local knowledge can be a valuable resource. They can provide insights about the neighborhood, help negotiate the price, and guide you through the closing process.
6. **Search for Homes**: Now comes the exciting part, looking for your dream home. Remember to take notes about
