Imagine if there was only one type of mortgage a habitat interest free mortgage..just really think abuot this today, everyone would be a tax payer, you wouldnt need tax payer incentives in 8000 credits, but you could make the mortgages 20,30 40 years..savings would occur, and no refinancing could happen that were to predatory lendors...a dream..who knows....

 

we are the number one home builder this year, and will continue to grow.

 

Kudoes to Jim Palmer and Mt kisco..i stopped by a town yesterday in village hall, a new library second floor, pride, caring, thinking about workers...congrads..we are giving a talk on greening the community, along with rehabbing homes, seniors homes, and helping to build new ones, ... a new lpc is growing there, next thursday at 3pm.

 

Credit Suisse comes again under the leadership of Hank Hyatt..what a great gift to see them out again, working with us, ...they gave us consistent strenght and support throughout the year.

 

tonite our Board meets, a dedicated group to helping us move ahead, help and build!  I am blessed to have so many around me...God bless, jjk
