High Risk Mortgage Loans For Bad Credit Borrowers 5 Tips To Get A Good Rate

By Marie-Claire Smith

There is almost nothing a person can buy that gives him or her as much pride as does buying a home. The entire home-buying experience is really something to get excited about, including choosing a good neighborhood, going from home to home, and making an offer.

The best part, though, is walking through the front door of your new home shortly after having signed your new mortgage loan papers.

The dream of home ownership is alive and well today, despite challenges in the housing market and issues with the overall economy. Good times or bad, people continue to buy and sell homes just like at any other time in modern history.

The vision of buying a home of one’s own can feel a bit more dim if you have a poor credit (FICO) score. Most people with bad credit scores are their own worst enemies, telling themselves over and over again in their minds that they cannot possibly have the house of their dreams, given their score.

This sentiment is just not true, however. The key is to know how to shop for a home and how to pull the right ropes as you go through the mortgage loan process.

If you are on the lookout for high-risk mortgage loans for bad credit borrowers, here are 5 tips to get a good rate:

1. Find a house that speaks to your soul but that is also good to your pocketbook:

Finding just the right home on which to make an offer is such a personal decision. A home represents so many things to each of us. Your choice of home has to suit you mind, body and soul or you should just pass it up and keep searching. All of that being said, make sure that you choose a home that is well within your financial means. Given your bad credit score, you should consider buying a home that is lower-priced that the best one you could otherwise afford to make payments on.

2. Consider FHA programs and foreclosed homes:

Look at all of your options, including FHA programs (for U.S. residents) and homes that have been through foreclosure. These may allow you to qualify for special home-buying assistance or to pay less for a home at auction.

3. Shop for a loan from lenders who seek poor credit borrowers:

Some home mortgage lenders specialize in working with people who have poor credit scores. Be sure to seek out these lenders as you build a list of candidate mortgage lenders to which to apply. Your chances in qualifying for a loan will be much higher with them.

4. Order your free credit report and fix errors you find there:

If you are a U.S. citizen or resident, you have the ability to request a free copy of each of your credit reports (i.e., one from each of the major credit bureaus) each year. Go ahead and do so; then, report any issues or misreported line items that you discover in any of them.

5. Do not rest until you have applied to at least 3 high-risk mortgage lenders:

Follow through and apply to at least 3 high-risk mortgage lenders. If you apply to just one and for some reason do not qualify, just go onto the next. Even if you do qualify for an offer on the first loan application, still follow through in applying with all lenders.

Follow these 5 tips for getting a good rate on mortgage loans for bad credit borrowers and get that feeling of pride of ownership that comes with owning a house.

Altered HIV a potential cancer treatment?

Wednesday, February 16, 2005

At UCLA, a team of researchers has developed a harmless version of HIV that is designed to seek out, and potentially destroy, cancer cells.

In a laboratory-mouse experiment, the treated cells headed directly for melonoma and lung cancer cells, clustering around them with a surprising level of intuitiveness. Gene therapy for cancer has been at an impasse for the last 20 years, said the team, but now an effective carrier has been found in the most unlikely of sources. Essentially, one of the world’s largest health threats is now being considered to fight another.

Says Dr. Irvin Chen, from UCLA’s AIDS Institute, “The disarmed AIDS virus acts like a Trojan horse, transporting therapeutic agents to a targeted part of the body, such as the lungs, where tumors often spread.”

First the virus’s coating is removed and the virus is reprogrammed so that it recognizes and attaches to the p-lipoproteins of a cancer cell, one of cancer’s primary defenses. The retro-virus was also altered with a fluorescent protein for easy tracking within the lab mice. The next step will be to graft a cancer-killing gene onto the modified AIDS virus’s genetic structure.

Currently, a case of melanoma skin cancer spreading to the lungs is a confirmed death sentence. Should this method of treatment improve into a workable treatment, both life-threatening cancers and the AIDS retro-virus could be effectively neutered. But the team cautions that the treatment is in the very early stages and will take several more years to develop.

Blast kills 8, injures 126 at a mall in Manila, The Philippines

Friday, October 19, 2007

This article features in a News Brief from Audio Wikinews:

An explosion rocked an upscale mall in the main financial district of the Philippine capital Manila. The explosion damaged the Glorietta Mall in the financial district of Makati and killed at least eight people and injured at least 126 people, 98 of those needed hospitalization and the other 28 were given first aid at the blast site for minor injuries.

The explosion happened past 1:30 p.m. just after employees of the different companies in Makati finished their lunch breaks.

Police investigators initially said the cause of the explosion was from a leaking liquefied petroleum gas tank, but after a few hours the Chief of the Philippine National Police, Director General Avelino Razon Jr., ruled out the possibility of a gas tank leak and stated the bomb could be the cause of the explosion because ground investigators say the blast site smelled of gunpowder. Some police intelligence sources say they found traces of C4 explosives at the blast site.

Philippine president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo meanwhile is on her way to the blast site. Currently, the explosion is still under investigation and the PNP bomb squad are inside the mall to check if there is still any bomb debris or any human remains.

Principles Of Human Resource Planning

Sound human resource planning needs to be based on the principles and actions highlighted in the article below. In the practical world, an external human resource consultant or employment agency plays an important role in planning the basic requirements for human resource.1. Human Resource Planning has to be finally integrated into the other areas of the organizations strategy and planning.2. Senior management must give a lead in stressing its importance throughout the organization.3. In larger organizations a central human resource planning unit responsible to senior management needs to be established . The main objectives of this are to co-ordinate ans reconcile the demands for human resources from different departments, to standardize and supervise departmental assessments of requirements and to produce a comprehensive organizational plan. In practice, the Human Resource and Development department would normally play a leading role in the task . In smaller organizations these responsibilities would probably be carried out by a senior manager or even the managing director.4. The time span to be covered by the plan needs to be defined. Because of the abiding problem of making forecasts involving imponderable factors, a compromise is often adopted in which a general human resource plan is produced to cover a period of several years. If the system is operated as a continuous, rolling plan, the five year period of general forecasting is maintained and each first year is used in turn for purpose of review and revision for the future.5. The scope and details of the plan have to be determined. For large organizations separate human resource plans and forecasts may well be needed for various subsidiary units and functions. In smaller organizations one comprehensive plan will probably suffice for all employees. Where particular skills or occupations may pose future problems in recruitment or training, special provisions will be required in human resource planning.6. Human resource planning must be based on the most comprehensive and accurate information that is possible. Such personal information is essential in any case for the effective management of the organization. Details of format and contents will naturally vary, but they will normally need to include details of age, sex, qualifications and experience and of trends likely to effect future forecasts, such as labor wastage, charges in jobs, salaries, etc. Apart from the routine collection of data for personnel records, special analysis may sometimes be necessary to provide particular information

Explosion hits Madrid Airport’s terminal 4

Saturday, December 30, 2006

Around 9:00 a.m. local time (0800 UTC) today, an explosion occurred at Barajas International Airport, in Madrid, Spain.

A car bomb exploded in the Level-D Parking Garage of the recently completed Terminal 4. A Spanish official declared that the police first received a telephone call warning them about the bomb, and then a second call with the type of vehicle. The second caller claimed the attack for the Basque nationalist group ETA. Thanks to the telephone call, the police could evacuate most of the area. One man is reported missing after the explosion, and 26 people including two police officers were reported to be injured in the blast. The terminal sustained serious damage, and the situation in the airport became chaotic on one of the busiest days of the year.

Arnaldo Otegi, spokesman of ETA’s political wing Batasuna, did not condemn the attack, but said the peace talks are not interrupted by the explosion. The Spanish Interior Minister Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba condemned the attack, saying that it “breaks nine months without violence on the part of ETA, which breaks the permanent ceasefire.” Only in June, the Spanish President José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero announced peace talks with ETA. But tonight, Zapatero ordered the suspension of all dialogue, because “with violence, there can be no kind of dialogue.”

Stolen minibus recovered 35 years after theft

Friday, November 6, 2009

A 1965 Volkswagen minibus that was stolen in 1974 has been recovered by customs agents in Los Angeles. The vintage minibus was in pristine condition, valued at $25,000, and was found during a routine inspection of a shipping container scheduled for departure to The Netherlands. A routine computer database search on its vehicle identification number flagged it as having been stolen from a vehicle upholstery shop in Spokane, Washington on July 12, 1974. A custom restoration business in Arizona was attempting to deliver it to overseas clients last month when authorities intercepted the vehicle.

“Pretty amazing, isn’t it?”

The theft appeared on the National Insurance Crime Bureau database, which is used by border authorities and contains all stolen vehicle records. Most police databases remove unsolved vehicle thefts after five years.

The California Highway Patrol does not suspect the restorer of wrongdoing, according to investigating officer Mike Maleta. Possession of the vehicle apparently changed several times. Police in Spokane have not yet located the rightful owner, whose identity has not been released to the press. Maleta hopes that a trail of registration documents and interviews will uncover the thief.

“[The restoration firm owner is] a victim himself. He was an innocent purchaser…”

The Allstate insurance company paid $2500 shortly after the theft occurred and wants to take possession of the vintage minibus. Allstate spokeswoman Megan Brunet expects that after the necessary paperwork is processed the firm will sell it at auction.
