Update on upcoming blogs

By Charles Martin | May 23, 2008

The hothead has been entrenched in making a bit more $ for his day job so please be patient. One thing to note is that I have two awesome posts coming in over the long weekend.

One post is on our win against the IRS for an audit of the 2106 Business Expense form. We got two “No Change” letters in the last week — this is a huge thing for anyone that’s ever been audited. I have a long post on how to put together your answer as I know that so many are getting their 2106s looked at. (better than a proctology exam I guess).

Second, we also got news this week that a big bank is going to reduce our mortgage payment by 12% and hundreds of dollars. This includes an interest rate cut of 1.75%! This was not done for reasons of foreclosure or anything scary. In fact, we have never been late. It was done for reasons that all of us are seeing today — the wrong rate for the type/amount of mortgage. We thought what better time to ask for a reprieve and we got it — just for asking!  This bank is a top mortgage servicer, not one of these fly by nighters you hear about in the press.  The HH thinks that many of you would like reprieve but don’t know how to go about it.  I’ll tell you how.

Look for these two posts coming in the next week or less.

Have a great long weekend.
