EC/IMF hopefully doting is and crossing ts

post from Realty 3.0 on 30 April 2010 08:08:14 AM. © Realty 3.0

There is no change to the belief that by the end of the weekend Greece will have its debt obligations satisfied for the next 3 years with 120b euroand#8217;s of funding. Greeceand#8217;s 2 yr yield is falling as a result as are yields in the other overleveraged European countries. It is now up to the Greekand#8217;s to follow thru on what will be a tough few years in terms of higher taxes and big spending cuts. Even with the upcoming bailout, their 10 yr yield is up 40 bps this week and the 2 y...

Green formulas to Boost Appraisal Values

post from Real Estate Investing For Real | A BiggerPockets Investment Property Blog on 30 April 2010 07:16:37 AM. © Real Estate Investing For Real | A BiggerPockets Investment Property Blog

One of the most common questions I get asked by real estate investors is how do you actually measure the value of going green? Energy-efficiency is nice in theory but if you can’t get an increase in your property’s value then why spend the money? In addition, most appraisers have little clue [...]

Top cop Glenn Theobalds last day at the Miami
Dade Police Department

That's what we were told by one of our sources this morning. From what we were told, today will be Glenn Theobalds last day working for the MDPD. We've discussed Mr. Theobald before, he was the chief legal counsel of the Miami Dade Police Department as well as the man responsible for drafting and lobbying for Florida State Statute 817.545 and the creator of the Miami Dade County Mortgage Fraud Task Force. To say that this comes as a surprise is an understatement. Take a look at Mr. Theobald testifying on January 14, 2010 before the Financial Crisis Inquiry commission in DC...

After watching Mr. Theobalds testimony, does he seem like someone that's going to resign his post just four months later? What the hell happened? Was it the MDPD Green Fund Scandal? Was it simply the new Miami Dade County Police Department Director James Loftus cleaning house? Considering the magnitude of what Mr. Theobald has accomplished in the field of mortgage fraud, how the hell was he allowed to resign, if indeed he did? Who's going to take his place that has his credentials and qualifications? It's a damn shame.

So what now? Mr. Theobalds Mortgage Fraud Task Force was well intentioned, but as we know it's performance (at least in our opinion) was less than stellar. It's a shame that his hard work and effort in creating the task force was rewarded by lackluster performance by everyone else down the line.

Whatever the case may be, if indeed Mr. Theobald has stepped down, we wish him the best of luck with his next endevor...
