Foreign Cenbank Holdings to May 9, 2012

post from Housing Doom on 11 May 2012 09:51:28 PM. © Housing Doom

After a day of Whale Watching it’s simply awesome how the powers that be always seem to circle the wagons and keep the status quo together (how’s that for cliches? ). Anyway, the Fed’s own holdings of MBS remained stalled, rising but by just $0.006 billion while foreign central bank holdings of US obligations swung to a $1B / day drain.

Have you outgrown the LOFT

post from Living in Toronto on 11 May 2012 02:25:04 PM. © Living in Toronto

Is your place just too small?

Maybe you bought pre construction. The location may have been suitable to you four years ago when you started working there. Maybe you bought with a certain family size in mind. Now you have plain outgrown it.

I can do three things for you.

I can help you release the equity you have in that beautiful loft or one bedroom plus den.
I can help you find a more suitable property for you.
I can help you with Bridge Financing to make sure you have the money going forward and that you don't have any problems with the dates.

But more importantly I can help you get the right number of bedrooms that you need for your family

Lets get you a BBQ for that back yard or would you rather stay inside with an iPAD?
