Hello ALL and TGIF,

Still fairly quiet in the real estate world.

Interest rates in case you are not paying attention are at very ridiculously low rates of 3.75% for a 30 year fixed and if you pay a point, you can get 3.50%. If that isn’t enough reason to get off the fence, then I don’t know what is. If any of you need to talk loans or mortgages, just drop me a line.
