Beware of bogus health insurance
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Aug. 5, 2010 – The Florida Department of Financial Services (DFS) and the Office of Insurance Regulation (OIR) issued a warning about unauthorized health insurance plans. The plans are sold under different names but backed by Association of Independent Managers (AIM), according to Florida officials.
OIR has issued a Cease and Desist Order to AIM, and preliminary OIR estimates indicate as many as 1,800 Florida consumers have already purchased these bogus health plans.
“Bogus health insurance scams rob consumers of their hard-earned money and also leave them uncovered in the event that medical care is needed,” said CFO Alex Sink, who oversees DFS read more from florida realtors

 Congress restores rural mortgage help


WASHINGTON – July 30, 2010 – The restoration of the single-family rural housing program that would guarantee home loans for rural buyers was passed by the Senate today and is on its way to President Obama.
The National Association of Realtors has vigorously lobbied to restore funding for the rural program since last March, and hailed this development as a great victory for rural homebuyers.
“This is going to be a great lift for thousands of rural home buyers who need to close on their home purchases before Sept. 30 to take advantage of the home buyer tax credit,” said NAR President Vicki Cox Golder. “Many rural families would have been left out in the cold without these guaranteed loans. Increasing the commitment authority will help rural families, support local housing markets, create jobs and generate new tax revenues.”
“The rural housing program is a good example of the kind of program needed for responsible and qualified home buyers who bring common sense to the housing market,” said Golder. The legislation increases the guarantee fee for borrowers, but allows the fee to be financed. “This change will make the program completely self-sufficient,” she said.
Golder thanked Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.), and Reps. Paul Kanjorski (D-Pa.) and Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) for moving the bill to passage in both houses.
The legislation was part of H.R. 4899, “The Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act” that the Senate passed this week. The measure increases the Rural Housing Service commitment authority allowing guaranteed loans; previously, RHS has been providing conditional commitments. The RHS is expected to announce new guidelines shortly after the president signs the bill

"NAR: Pending home sales ease in post-tax credit market

WASHINGTON – Aug. 3, 2010 – Pending home sales edged down with near-term sales expected to be notably lower in contrast to the spring surge when buyers rushed to take advantage of the homebuyer tax credit, according to the National Association of Realtors.
The Pending Home Sales Index, a forward-looking indicator, declined 2.6 percent to 75.7 based on contracts signed in June from an upwardly revised level of 77.7 in May, and is 18.6 percent below June 2009 when it was 93.0. The data reflects contracts and not closings, which normally occur with a lag time of one or two months read more from florida realtors   http://www.floridarealtors.org/NewsAndEvents/article.cfm?id=244285&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+floridarealtors+%28Florida+Realtors%29

Jim Helsel tells congress about lack of available credit

Cape Coral Realtor Rick Swift Century 21 Birchwood Realty  "Where your new home begins http://www.rickswift.com/   http://www.rickswift.listingbook.com/ 

 "WASHINGTON – Aug. 2, 2010 – Testifying last week before a U.S. House panel, Jim Helsel, treasurer of the National Association of Realtors and commercial real estate specialist, told members that a strong commercial real estate sector is vital to millions of U.S. jobs and helps keep the national economy afloat.
“As the leading advocate for private property rights, NAR believes it is critical for Congress to act soon and to get capital flowing to small businesses and to the commercial real estate market,” Helsel told the House Committee on Financial Services.
“Lack of available credit remains a significant challenge for our industry right now,” Helsel said. He commended the panel for passage in June of H.R. 5297, “The Small Business Lending Fund Act of 2010,” which ensures community banks have both the incentive and capacity to increase total loans to small businesses. Raising the SBA loan limits and allowing SBA 504 loans to be used to refinance performing property can help ease the liquidity crisis in the commercial sector, he said  read more http://www.floridarealtors.org/NewsAndEvents/article.cfm?id=244235&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+floridarealtors+%28Florida+Realtors%29

CAPE CORAL REAL ESTATE

Cape Coral Realtor Rick Swift "Where your new home begins" Congress still hasn't passed the flood insurance bill.
Still let's stay positive and hope that they come together and get things done. Southwest Florida is a paradise and we need more growth to sustain the level of services we will need down the road. We have to encourage businesses to relocate and or expand their operations. In a tough economy i believe that value goes down so the deals are for the people or businesses that take advantage of the deals and don't sit back and say, we should have done it. Make things happen we need you now more than ever. Thanks for listening Rick Swift http://www.rickswift.com/
