People normally hear about the nasty people in the media.
The public normally don’t hear about the true heroes in life. Generous humble people who help others from the kindness of their hearts and not for selfishness or they help because they expect something back on return. Barron Trump is one of those people. Barron Trump was raised the right way by First Lady Melania Trump and President Donald Trump.
Humble waiter explore his experience when he serves the son of a president. He gets emotional on realizing a note Barron left at table. The story show the power of being humble and kind to everyone regardless of their situation.

Comprehensive Overview of Daily National Mortgage, Real Estate, and Business News including mortgage rates, housing starts, unemployment, and interest rate forecast for Thursday January 8th 2025. As of Thursday, January 9, 2025, we will provide an overview of what has happened in the U.S. mortgage market or the real estate and business sectors. We will also share any updates concerning mortgage rates, housing starts, unemployment rates, and interest rate projections.
Mortgage Rates:
Current Trends:
- The average yield on 30-year fixed-rate mortgages has spiked to 6.93 percent, marking the fourth consecutive week of increase and hitting its highest since early July.
- This rise is closely associated with the climbing yields on 10-year Treasury bonds in the U.S., which were at 3.62% mid-September but reached a peak at 4.66% currently.
- Heightened mortgage rates and soaring home prices are increasing housing affordability pressures on potential buyers.
Housing Market
Housing Starts:
- The housing market saw a significant slowdown, as December recorded the most substantial season deceleration in almost two years.
- It took an average of 70 days for homes to sell in December, marking the slowest December period in five years.
- This trend can be mostly attributed to higher mortgage rates that discourage potential buyers from buying a home or selling their current ones.
- Also, housing inventory decreased by 8.6% in November, representing the biggest monthly decline since January 2023.
Homebuilder Sentiment:
- U.S. homebuilders’ shares have fallen due to concerns about protracted high interest rates and prospective policy changes under Trump’s administration, such as increased tariffs and mass deportations that could raise construction costs.
- Since November, the S&P500 Homebuilding Index declined by 17.3%, reaching its lowest level since July.
Employment Data
Unemployment Claims:
- The labor market has remained robust, with new jobless benefit applications falling to eight-month lows.
- Initial claims fell by 9,000 to a seasonally adjusted 211,000 for the week ending December 28.
- This indicates that layoffs are decreasing and that labor market strength is being maintained.
Interest Rate Forecast
Federal Reserve Policy:
- Financial markets are becoming more skeptical of Federal Reserve interest rate cuts in 2025.
- High inflation rates above the Fed’s 2% target and better-than-anticipated economic performance could mean the tight monetary policy can continue.
- Market sentiment shows a 15% probability of no change in rates this year, up from last month’s figure of 4%.
Economic Outlook
Growth Projections:
- The U.S. economy has shown resilience, with growth rates pegged at 2-3%.
- However, there is speculation over a possible slowdown as high interest rates affect sectors such as construction and mortgage applications.
- Yet, despite these concerns, consumer spending and investment have been largely stable.
Implications for Stakeholders
Homebuyers and Sellers:
- Elevated mortgage rates and home prices continue to challenge affordability, potentially deterring prospective buyers or influencing sellers’ decisions.
- Homeowners are advised to delay refinancing until the rates reduce, while others should focus on making home improvements that increase equity.
Investors and Businesses:
- The current economic landscape is characterized by high interest rates coupled with policy uncertainties that may impact investments, especially in the housing and construction sectors.
- Stakeholders must closely monitor policy developments and market trends to inform strategic planning.
The U.S. real estate and mortgage markets face complex terrain characterized by rising mortgage rates, cooling housing markets, robust employment figures, and an uncertain interest rate outlook. Under these constantly changing conditions, stakeholders are advised to be informed and cautious while making decisions.

I built a manufactured home from ground up in 2017. Beautiful home, with garage on concrete foundations on five acres. You cannot tell it is a manufactured home and more like a custom stick built home. This is the scenariou:
1. Aprraisal came in at $210,000.
2. I needed a $225,000 appraisal.
3. Now I am over debt to income ratio.
4. Credit Scores: Middle FICO is 660
5. Wanted to pay off outstanding debts including cars with the proceeds of the refinance.
6. Got a conditional loan approval at $210,000,
Anyone have any ideas on what I can do to make the cash-out refinance work? I cannot add a non-occupant co-borrower because it is an FHA loan and HUD does not accept non-occupant co-borrowers on cash-out refinace. I cannot get a piggyback 80-19-10 because all non-QM and traditional mortgage lenders in the United States do not allow second mortgages or HELOCs on manufactured homes. It would have to go conventional loan if there was a second mortgage lender that would allow a second mortgage on manufactured home? Any ideas would be so very much appreaciated.

My brother and I am interested more about investing in mobile home parks. I am open in anywhere in the United States. I have interest in knowing what it takes to invest in mobile home parks for a new investor. My experience is in real estate fix and flips and holding apartment buildings. I have a small portofio of single family homes and six apartment buildings totalling 100 units. I do have equity in my properties so I can tap into the equity of my rental properties or sell some. I like to know more about investing in mobile home parks, the pros and cons, the headaches, what to look out for, and suggestions for first time mobile home park investors. I am interested in knowing about financing mobile home parks and how competitive the mobile home park market is. Thank you in advance.

My family is interest in getting out of the single family and multi-family home rental investment and getting more into investing in an RV campground, mobile home park, or storage facility. Is an RV Park a good investment? I have heard from business associates and other indirect investors that RV parks are a high-yielding investment with little downside. What type of return would be a good yield on an RV park investment and what type of capital do you need to get started. How is financing rates, terms, and conditions? Can a new investor get financing on an RV Park? What do you suggest to keep an eye on and what are the steps to go about shopping for RV Parks that is on the market? Are there business brokers that specialize in RV Parks? Do you suggest developing an RV PARK by buying land and starting from scratch or buying an existing RV park that is cash flowing.
