Tom Homan rips the Biden Administration due to not continuing on what former President Donald Trump started on building the WALL and made matters worse with having tens of thousands illegally cross the border from Mexico to the United States. Karine Jean-Pierre and other Joe Biden handlers are talking out of their rear ends trying to protect the image and reputation of the elderly Joe Biden where there are talks from many his dementia and mental illness is deteriorating at a rapid rate and his days are number. Besides Tom Homan, other high level Washington top guns from both sides of the isles are not having too much faith on Joe Biden even making it to the November 2024 Presidential election. Biden’s handlers are advising Joe Biden to step down but the senior Biden is struggling and deteriorating at a rapid space.

This subforum will train our digital media marketing team how to do a rewrite and updating older blogs to fresh content. Google and other search engines want new fresh content for maximum SEO on the search engines. Just because your article has hundreds of keywords and is ranking on first position on Google and other search engines does not mean that is will continue to do so. Google and other search engines want the most updated information on its organic search engines for their viewers. All publishers should take Googles recommendations seriously and update their content to be userfriendly with the most recent and accurate information. This includes videos, infographics, and clear H1 and H2 titles. We will take an example of how older blogs should be rewritten and updated.
This is an older blog from 2018 that we will use as a case scenario and how I am updating it. Instead of writing a brand new blog that is similar or the same H1 TITLE, go back to the older blog that has the title you want to write and get that blog updated. Otherwise, if you write a brand new blog of similar or the same H1 and H2, Google will penalize you for having duplicate content. Plus updating older content will get you a higher boost and creditbility for SEO and even get you more keywords to the keywords you already have.
Here is the blog that I am rewriting from Gustan Cho Associates : Cash-Out Refinance Mortgage Loan Eligibility Guidelines and here is the URL https://gustancho.com/cash-out-refinance-mortgage-loan/
Take a look at how I am rewriting blogs and adding new content. I have screenshots attach and if you can follow how I am progressing so we are all on the same page, you will not get confused and follow this tutorial. GCA Mortgage Group is going to expand our Digital Marketing and Social Media Team so it is important that Anngelli and April is going to master this because you two ladies will be the Chief Management Instructors to run this program. I want to be consistent. I want Ravinder Sharma to check the rankings prior to the rewrite and update and after the rewrite and analyze the data and ranking of how much the rewrite and update has improved. Let’s go ahead and do a cash scenario with this blog Cash-Out Refinance Mortgage Loan: Again, here is the URL URL https://gustancho.com/cash-out-refinance-mortgage-loan/: These steps need to be followed:
- Check the H1 TITLE. Is it too long? Does it make sense? Check Google and see what better name is there. Try to keep the URL the same and NOT change
- Update date to current date (look at the screenshot. You see the screenshot before and after. Do not have space between one H2 body.
- Separate the H2 body with a two liner quotation sentence related to the body. (See attached screenshots)
SECOND H2 BODY Use Title: Go to Google and Search Cash-Out Refinance Mortgage Loan (See Image)
- Look at “People Also Asked” (Look at attached screenshot: Is cash-out refinance a good idea?
Key takeaways. The benefits of a cash-out refinance include access to money at potentially a lower interest rate, plus tax deductions if you itemize. On the down side, a cash-out refinance increases your debt burden and depletes your equity
-
Try to use the text from People Also Asked subtitle H2 : Is Cash-Out Refinance Loan a Good Idea (Look at Image)
-
Look at third H2 body Term and Rates on Cash-Out Refinance Mortgage Loan. Two line quotation should be every other H2 body paragraphs (look at image)
You guys are doing a great job but let’s all stay uniform: I will continue on this topic on a separate email. I want to work with each of you the next blog you rewrite. Let me know once you update and rewrite and let’s get on ZOOM together so I want to review. Call me after each of you finish writing the next blog. I will make modifications and let’s go over it. Lets talk tomorrow morning. We will have multiple series for this FORUM. We will continue Part II on the next series:

- Click the Plagirsm icon on the right bottom (Look at attatched screenshot)

- Continue rewriting suggested deleted content until the Plagirsm is less than 7% (Look at attatched screenshot)
- Copy and paste and post on the main WordPress blog (Look at attached screenshot)
- Start breaking the new content from ChaptGDP and blend into the main WordPress blog (Look at attached screenshot)
- Use Title PEOPLE ALSO ASK from Google as new H2 subtitles for new body (Look at attached screenshot)
- Once done, Check Rank Math which we will continue on the next and final part of this tutorial.
We will next go to WORDPRESS REWRITE AND UPDATING CONTENT PART III

Fix-and-flip loans are short-term real estate financing used by real estate investors to purchase and renovate properties for resale (flipping). These loans are typically used when investors want to acquire a property in poor condition, make improvements or renovations to increase its value, and then sell it quickly for a profit.
Here are some key features of fix-and-flip loans:
-
Short-term loans: Fix-and-flip loans are typically short-term loans with terms ranging from a few months to a couple of years. They are designed to be repaid quickly, usually after selling the property.
-
Purpose: The primary purpose of fix-and-flip loans is to fund the acquisition of property and cover the costs of renovation and repairs. Investors use these loans to “flip” the property for a profit.
-
Loan amount: The loan amount is based on the property’s purchase price and the estimated renovation cost. Lenders typically lend a percentage of the property’s after-repair value (ARV), which is the property’s projected value after renovations are completed.
-
Interest rates: Fix-and-flip loans often have higher interest rates compared to traditional mortgage loans. This is because they are considered riskier due to the short-term nature of the investment and the potential for unforeseen challenges during the renovation process.
-
Loan-to-value (LTV) ratio: Lenders will typically offer fix-and-flip loans with an LTV ratio that ranges from 65% to 90% of the ARV. The exact LTV ratio can vary depending on the lender and the borrower’s creditworthiness.
-
Renovation plans: Borrowers may be required to provide detailed renovation plans and budgets to the lender, outlining how they intend to improve the property. This helps the lender assess the feasibility of the project.
-
Credit requirements: While credit requirements can vary among lenders, borrowers typically need a reasonable credit score to qualify for a fix-and-flip loan. Some lenders may be more lenient in this regard than traditional mortgage lenders.
-
Down payment: Borrowers are usually required to make a down payment, ranging from 10% to 35% of the total project costs. This demonstrates the borrower’s commitment to the project and provides some protection for the lender.
-
Speed of funding: Fix-and-flip loans are often chosen for their quick approval and funding process, essential for investors looking to secure properties and start renovations promptly.
-
Exit strategy: Borrowers must have a clear exit strategy in place, which typically involves selling the renovated property within the loan term to repay the lender.
It’s essential for real estate investors to thoroughly research their options and understand the terms and costs associated with fix-and-flip loans before pursuing this type of financing. Additionally, working with experienced real estate professionals and lenders specializing in fix-and-flip loans can benefit a successful investment strategy.

America is home of the free where the people decide their representatives through el6ctions. Elected officials work for the people. It is the people who pay elected officials to make sure our tax dollars are spent frugally and wisely. Majority of Americans believe our tax dollars are being robbed by greedy government officials who seem to forget that taxpayers are the their bosses and the tax dollars is not their piggy bank to be wasted. Americans need to stop paying taxes and get a complete overhaul of the tax structure and audit where their tax dollars are being siphoned off to.

Many homebuyers who cannot get an approval from the automated underwriting system (AUS) but eligible for a manual underwriting should absolutely explore a TBD Underwriting Pre-Approval. A TBD Underwriting Pre-Approval is when the borrower’s mortgage loan application goes through all the steps of the mortgage process but without a property. The borrower’s file will go through processing, underwriting, and get a conditional approval. Part of the condition loan approval will be the property. The loan officer will suggest to purchase a property. The borrower will get a home under contract and the lender will restart the final stage of the mortgage process which is underwrite the house. An appraisal will get ordered and the underwriter will underwrite the property. Once the underwriter finishes clearing the appraisal, a clear to close will be issued. With a CTC the mortgage processor will coordinate the closing with the title company. Here’s a guide about TBD UNDERWRITING PRE-APPROVAL PROCESS
