I filed bankruptcy and got it discharged two years ago. I know different loan programs have waiting period after Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. I worked hard in re-establishing my credit and am successful with my job as a digital media marketing consultant. I can put $300,000 down payment on a home purchase and want to buy a $1.2 million dollar luxury home. I am worried about qualifying for a jumbo loan after Chapter 7 Bankruptcy due to the waiting period requirements. How many years will you have to wait after filing Chapter 7 Bankruptcy for Jumbo loan?

Aside from finding a good pizzeria when you relocate, there are more important things to search out. Bank, church, post office, and lawn service are just a few. I have been fortunate to be 70 years old and have a full head of hair, but for some reason it continues to grow. I never went for hair stylists; I prefer the old-time barbers. My father always took me to a barber as a kid. Searching for a barber is not that easy; it is a forgotten art.
Twenty years ago, before moving to Florida, I went back home to New York City. My barber was a guy named Isaac, a Russian Jew. He set up shop on 7th Avenue in the Chelsea section of Manhattan. He was the first barber to cut my hair in NYC. He was so good that one day, while getting a shave, I glanced over at the next customer, and it was Anderson Cooper. Isaac was the barber for the Manhattan elite. I was lucky.
What are the chances of finding a barber of that quality in Ocala, Florida? Luck struck twice, for low and behold, right next to #1 Pizza was a barber, King Cutz. I decided to try my luck after having a slice, with a guy named O’Nell. As I entered the shop, it was crowded. It was the Friday before school started in Florida. August 12 was, I thought, early; it seems school starts earlier each year. When I was in grade school, we started after Labor Day. Why would you have children start school in early August in Florida? It is so hot! The air conditioners have to work harder to keep class rooms cooler. Anyway, a dozen kids were ahead of me, all Spanish and black; razor cuts are a big style for kids, not me, who likes scissors. I didn’t feel out of place, but I was concerned about being older and liking traditional hair cuts.
O’Nell had been a teacher in a hair salon in Puerto Rico. He spent 30 minutes on a six-year-old’s hair. He meticulously clipped each and every hair on this buzz cut, and I was impressed. I was next; he cut my hair, trimmed my beard, and not a hair was out of place. In the morning, I had no cow lick, which usually occurs after my hair is cut. I found my barber and my pizza!
Most New Yorkers agree that the best Chinese food is in Chinatown in lower Manhattan. I could never remember the names of the restaurants; I went by numbers: 17 Pell Street, 37 Mott Street. In the same strip mall, there was a Chinese restaurant! I have not tried it as yet; there is too much pizza to digest. What are the odds of it being as good as a New York restaurant?
My saga continues for new places in Ocala, especially to eat.

Stayed tuned, people. We create, design, and develop a one-stop lending shop mortgage loan officer website. This one-in-all marketing-support-operations-business-development mega website is for select loan officers who want to be in the top 20% of the nation and belong to a team of winners. Many talented goal-oriented folks want to become top-producing loan officers but do not have the guidance, training, tools, and direction to lead them there. After a decade of research and development, making thousands of fixes, and making thousands of hours of mistakes, my team and I have mastered a mega one-stop lending shop. Training a loan officer is one of the most difficult tasks there is. There is no sure proof training program in the market place. The best way to learn to become a successful loan officer is by getting trained by a mentor. Training a loan officer is like training an attorney. Say a young lawyer graduates from an IVY LEAGUE LAW SCHOOL like Harvard, Yale, Princeton, or Stanford Law School. The young, newly law school graduate masters the Bar Exam and is now licensed to practice. What NOW? How is he or she going to represent clients in court, let along simple parking tickets or simply real estate closings? Same with loan officers. You will be clueless and lost. So the best way to train a young recruit loan officer is to take a few steps backward to go forwards. A newly licensed loan officer should not even do a single loan until they have processed three to six loans themselves under the supervision of a loan processor. The loan officer will never become a master mortgage processor and I do not recommend they be one if they want to originate loans, but loan officers will be working very closely with mortgage processors on every single loan. To this day, most loan officers are clueless on how mortgage processing works and often bitch and degrade mortgage processors if shit does not go your way. Master processing, at least how it work, before you proceed to originating. In the system we will have on http://www.viralwebsitedevelopers.com, we will have a detailed training section on processing and how mortgage processing works. Once you have the basics on how mortgage processing works, the next step is to learn origination. So one of the frequently asked questions is do I need to memorize all the mortgage guidelines before proceeding. The answer is NO. There is no way you will learn and know all of the FHA, VA, USDA, FANNIE, FREDDIE, and NON-QM mortgage guidelines. Learning the guidelines is not enough. Every lender has their own lender overlays. Lender overlays are additional mortgage guidelines above and beyond the minimum guidelines of HUD, VA, USDA, FANNIE MAE, and FREDDIE MAC. However, every loan officer should know the basic agency guidelines on government and conventional loans. Everything you need to know, you can find it on http://www.gustancho.com. AGAIN, loan officers should get familiar with the basic guideline but no need to memorize it. You will go back to it often. Again, all the guidelines will be on the master website from Viral Website Developers. Remember, our mission at Viral Website Developers is to create a one-stop mortgage lending online shop with your very one virtual digital media website. So, the next step for brand new loan officers are loan officers transferring to Gustan Cho Associates on a branch level or an independent loan officer sponsored by a member of the Gustan Cho Associates family is getting leads. Again, your newly assigned one-stop shop lending virtual mega loan origination website will have an organic lead generation system which will grow and add more value as it seasons with age and content. I will continue this part at the next time I am able to continue.

California homeless problems is getting out of control that it’s attracting global attention. California Politicians have long ignored the serious homeless problems. Many outsiders consider California’s homeless crisis as inhumane and borderline criminal on Politicians especially the Governor of California. Central and Southern California have mild weather where homelessness is a year around crisis. California homeless people have no access to shelter, water, fresh clothing, healthcare, and poor sanitation. Homelessness takes 25 years from a person’s life. Governor Gavin Newsom visited homeless areas in San Francisco and said that the area looks like a third would country. Why is Gavin Newsom all of a sudden showing concern after decades of homelessness throughout the state of California? You got it. The 2024 Election and making California loo better.

A “No-Ratio DSCR Loan” typically refers to a type of commercial real estate financing that doesn’t require the calculation or consideration of the debt-service coverage ratio (DSCR) for the property being financed. Let’s break down what this means:
-
Debt-Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR): The DSCR is a financial metric used in real estate lending, especially for commercial properties. It represents the property’s ability to generate enough income to cover its debt obligations, primarily the mortgage payments. The DSCR is calculated by dividing the property’s net operating income (NOI) by its total debt service (mortgage payments).
-
No-Ratio: When a loan is referred to as “No-Ratio,” it means that the lender does not consider the DSCR when evaluating the borrower’s eligibility for the loan. This can be beneficial for borrowers who may not meet the traditional DSCR requirements but have other strong financial attributes or unique circumstances that make them creditworthy.
In essence, a No-Ratio DSCR Loan is a type of financing option where the lender focuses less on the property’s income-generating ability and more on other aspects of the borrower’s financial situation, such as their creditworthiness or assets. This can be useful for borrowers who have unconventional income sources or situations that make it challenging to meet traditional DSCR requirements.
It’s worth noting that these types of loans may come with higher interest rates or different terms compared to loans where the DSCR is a critical factor in the lending decision. Additionally, they may be more common in certain niche or specialized lending markets. Borrowers considering such loans should carefully review the terms and assess the overall cost and risk associated with them.

The verdict is in on former President Donald Trump’s trial in New York. Former President Donald Trump has been found guilty on all 34 charges in his hush money case. Never before in history has a former president of the United States been tried after they left office of the Presidency. This trial of former President Donald Trump was politically motivated with many things wrong with even going to trial. No doubt the trial was politically motivated due to the fear and panic of former President Donald Trump running for office of the Presidency of the United States in November 2024. The charges against President Donald Trump are related to falsifying business records to conceal a $130,000 payment made to adult film star Stormy Daniels. This payment was part of an effort to prevent Daniels from going public with her claims about a 2006 encounter with Trump. This historic conviction marks Trump as the first former U.S. president to be convicted of felony crimes. The jury deliberated for 9.5 hours before reaching their verdict, which involved examining numerous invoices, vouchers, and checks connected to the reimbursement payments made to Trump’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen, who initially covered the payment to Daniels. The sentencing for Trump is scheduled for July 11, just before the Republican National Convention where he is expected to be nominated as the 2024 presidential candidate.

Small Business Administration (SBA) loans are a type of financing that the U.S. government provides to small businesses and entrepreneurs to encourage economic growth. The SBA doesn’t lend money directly to small business owners. Instead, it sets guidelines for loans made by its partnering lenders, community development organizations, and micro-lending institutions.
Here’s how the process generally works:
1. **Choose the Right Loan:** The SBA offers several different types of loans, so you’ll need to determine which one is the best fit for your business. Some of the most common ones include the 7(a) Loan Program for general small business loans, the Microloan Program for smaller loans, the 504 Loan Program for commercial real estate and equipment purchases, and the Disaster Loan Program for businesses affected by disasters.
2. **Find a Lender:** Not all banks and lenders offer SBA loans, so you’ll need to find one that does. The SBA provides a Lender Match tool on its website to help connect you with suitable lenders.
3. **Prepare Your Application:** Each SBA loan program has its own eligibility requirements, but generally, you’ll need to provide information about your business, a detailed business plan, financial statements, information on any existing debt, and personal financial information.
4. **Apply for the Loan:** Submit your loan application to your chosen lender, who will review your application and make a decision about whether or not to offer you a loan. If they approve your application, they’ll submit it to the SBA.
5. **SBA Review:** The SBA will then review your application. If it approves the loan, it will provide a guarantee to the lender, which essentially insures a portion of the loan against default. This guarantee can cover up to 85% of the loan amount, depending on the loan program.
6. **Receive Your Funds:** If your loan is approved by both the lender and the SBA, you’ll receive your funds and can begin using them for your intended business purposes.
Keep in mind that while SBA loans can provide much-needed capital for small businesses, they also come with certain costs, such as interest and fees, and require repayment over a set period of time. It’s important to understand the terms of your loan before accepting it.
