Underwater Mortgage Holders To Get Relief
Under fire to do more to stop the foreclosure crisis, the Obama administration will announce Friday new steps to help the unemployed and those who are “underwater” with a bigger mortgage than their home is worth.
For some unemployed borrowers, the effort would require servicers to reduce or suspend monthly mortgage payments for up to six months, an administration official said.
Also, the initiative calls for reducing the mortgage balances of some underwater homeowners to reflect current property values and refinancing them into Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loans.

When Remodeling Makes Cents
Afew years ago, Joel Bickley and his partner started thinking about trading up from their two-story 1930s Dutch Colonial Revival in east Montrose.
By the time they found a house both loved, Bickley, a real estate agent, had seen his income shrink along with the housing market. So instead of buying, the couple decided to stay put and renovate.
Over the next year, he and his partner, Roland Maldonado, expect to spend up to $80,000 remodeling their kitchen and bathrooms, in addition to putting in new windows, insulation and a roof — some of which they’ve already had done. (more…)

Viewing The Latest Trends In Kitchen Remodeling
When it comes to kitchen design, one must consider everything. Plus the kitchen sink.
