Looking forward to Thursday night and our first class hosted by Bethpage Credit Union from 5:30 AM to 8:30 PM. Come and learn about Home Inspections with our friend Matt Kaplan from Housemaster in our course entitled, "Discovering the Home Inspection".

Summary: This course will introduce the student to the field of home inspection while providing the student with a detailed understanding of many of the various structures in a home and items to red flag during a walk-through. The student will also learn how to decode the inspection report and determine if ancillary inspections are necessary. Finally, the student will learn how to utilize inspections to obtain leverage when negotiating. Knowledge is power.

Thanks to all who attended our great class on commercial real estate this past Tuesday. Jennifer Pendzick, as usual, was a star lecturer.

We were just told by an undercover friend at a local bank that trial modifications are taking between 9 and 12 months to be approved internally. Moreover, her bank will not approve a modification for someone who is not in default. So while a modification may be appropriate for you, it should not be your only option and should be a strategic treatment within a larger foreclosure defense strategy.
