By Inman News, Wednesday, May 31, 2006.

Mortgage giant Freddie Mac said Tuesday that profit fell to $2.1 billion, or $2.75 a share, in 2005, compared with $2.9 billion, or $3.94 a share, in 2004.

The McLean, Va.-based government-sponsored enterprise said the decline was primarily caused by $600 million of costs associated with a settlement of shareholder lawsuits, charges related to Hurricane Katrina and the net impact of certain accounting changes.

In its report, Freddie Mac also said its regulator might limit the growth of its portfolio of home loans.

The mortgage finance company is recovering from $5 bil  more...

Foreclosed homeowners fall victim to new scam

By Tom Kelly, Wednesday, May 31, 2006.

Defaulting on your mortgage is one thing, but ending up in foreclosure is an entirely different feeling of loss, hurt, frustration and embarrassment.

Most residential lenders will tell you that consumers will do everything in their power to keep from losing their homes (the only aberration would be calloused investors who walk away from mortgages when their would-be, short-term goldmines turn into a bust).  more...

Power-wash wreaks havoc on outdoor teak furniture

By Bill and Kevin Burnett, Wednesday, May 31, 2006.

Q: We have (whoops, had) beautiful high-end, outdoor teak furniture. Several years ago it had just reached that lovely patina-stage of aging and was very smooth to touch.

While we were away on vacation, a neighbor rented a power washer to clean his driveway. Looking over to our property he decided to do us a favor. You guessed it! He power-washed all our teak. When we came home we found pale furniture whose wood grain was striped and very rough.

Holding back my anger I asked what I should do next. He said to sand it and put on a finish of linseed oil and turpentine.  more...

Condo developer's lie hurts resale values

By Robert Bruss, Wednesday, May 31, 2006.

DEAR BOB: When I purchased a new condominium last year, I was told it would be an owner-occupied building and investor-speculators would not be allowed. But I later learned friends, family and acquaintances of the builder were allowed to invest and buy all the best units at the lowest prices. Now my building is mostly renters rather than owner-occupied units. This hurts the value of my condo, which I must now sell due to job relocation. Do I have any legal recourse against the builder for misrepresentation or fraud since he lied to me?  more...
