Comment on Another ‘Bad’ Word to Avoid! by Baggins

In reply to Seneca. Come on now. I’m here to help but should not be mistaken for a punching bag. Just because nonsensical data appears at more than one publication, does not make it any more legitimate. Subjective interpretations of fair housing compliant language. What are you doing on that website anyways, find somewhere less obviously biased to get your fake news.

Statement of Cash Flows vs. Cash Flow Statement

Speaker: Wayne Spivak - President and Chief Financial Officer of SBA * Consulting LTD, Industry Writer, and Public Speaker

The old adages that "cash is king" and "you can’t spend profits" still hold true today.

In reply to Jesse. Surprisingly, for only the first or second time in several years, I did get a refinance assignment the other day.

So finally some breathing room for people with low LTV ratios and retirees looking to downsize.
