Improved! . . .Another F@CKED Borrower
Welcome to the new home of Another F@CKED Borrower - Casualty of the Housing Bubble! Don’t worry, you will still get the same great content over here…information on interest only loans, option ARM mortgages, 2/28, 3/27, 5/1 ARM, mortgage insights, market info and more! I’m almost ready to go, so I’m asking for comments and feedback on this site. Feel free to leave comments now if you would like. I’m playing with several ideas now with this being the main one:
1. Keep both sites up and running. I have several URL’s that I will point towards this site. If you like this site better, then stay here. If you like the other site better (the one on Blogger), I will make my posts to both places, so you can keep going there, or get there from here. Don’t worry, same great content on mortgages, the housing market, and more….just a different look with some more features.
I am adding a FORUMS site, as well as a consulting page. I am getting several thousand readers a day…and growing, and anywhere from 10-30 e-mails a day. Many of these e-mails are people that would like some help, or have a ‘quick’ loan/mortgage/real esate/financial question. 20 people that need 5-15 minutes of my time adds up very quickly. Some days I spend 2-3 hours or more answering e-mail. That is why I’m going to have to start charging something to keep things going. See the consulting page for more info. I don’t think a $5-10 donation is out of the question to get some honest advice or an answer to your question. Comments and feedback are always welcome!
By making this the main site, there shouldn’t be any firewall problems because of the ‘F’ word in the url. About the F-word in the title. That is the only place where it is used. In addition to the mortgage and real estate info, this is a place to help and inform people that might have gotten in over their heads with thier ‘exotic’ mortgage and other debt.
I’m working out the kinks and making sure everything runs right. Thanks for your patience, and keep checking out the original site that started it all: Another F@CKED Borrower You can get to all of the popular posts on interest only loans, option ARMs, negative amortization, 2/28’s, FB’s, and more over on the right hand side of this blog.
Thanks for stopping by….and helping make this a better site!

Like the new format - I’m sure the forum will be a huge hit!

Great idea! I’ll definitely go to the new site. Regarding the font and layout: I prefer those in the old site. It looks more professional. Can you change the font and layout to be as in the old site?

What font did you like better? The font of the post/comments or the header font?
What I will probably end up doing…is keep both blogs going…but post the FORUM and CONSULTING links to the other site. The main reason for the new site was to be able to add more pages…especially the consulting page.
As much time as I am spending doing this, I need to generate some money.
Thanks for the input!

Looks Good. Then again, change is always good.

I could never post a comment on the other
(blogger) site - it just didn’t work. I
like this one better!

SoCal,
I like the new design except for the font, which I think is too large. But that’s nitpicky stuff. Just as long as you don’t do white type on black, which I hate.
Best of luck to your venture… if there are any people who deserve to make some cash off this crazyness it’s people like you and Ben.

SoCalMtgGuy,
It looks great! I’ve added you to my list of favorites, and will be checking in daily. I don’t have much to post usually (except my personal experience with the last California RE bubble), but I learn so much from both Ben’s site and yours. You’re going to be busy consulting, I’m sure. Thanks for all your hard work!

I love your thoughts and enjoy reading them. Keep up the fantastic blog.
I would gladly pay you if I needed some advice.

Great site and interesting method of attempting to educate those poor folks. Could appraisers be added to the “insiders”? They are such cooperative little guys/gals.

Sorry Preyzer…I totally ‘forgot’ about them when I was adding that board!!!
Thanks! I’ll make the addition!
