Banks and Banking

Yes about 50 more banks shut down and when people ask why the large banks seem to swallow up the smaller banks, I finally found a great explanation.

This video is about 28 minutes and if you watch the complete video, you will understand what the American banks are doing with your money.

One other note: I want to thank The Property Patrol for supporting our efforts. Please visit their website here.

Republic Mortgage Insurance Rating Poor

Old Republic is a title insurance company doing business in Florida. Old Republic may have other business interests however, for this article, we are looking at Old Republic’s subsidiary Republic Mortgage Insurance Company. See full copy at The Property Patrol.

Started in 1972 Republic Mortgage Insurance Company claims they protect lenders across the United States from losses due to defaults on first mortgages for single-family residential properties. Head-quartered in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, RMIC is an independent national provider of private mortgage insurance for first mortgage loans. It appears RMIC has over exposed themselves  in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac mortgages.

The Florida division of Republic Mortgage Insurance of Florida has been down-graded in their financial strength to an (E) rating. Financial ratings are based on an (A) being the best and an (F) as a failed institution. So a rating of an (E) is the last step before failure.

In American housing, the chart below shows what areas Old Republic is exposed and Republic Mortgage Insurance Company is included in the chart calculations.

Florida Title Companies Loose License

This came from our sister site: http;//thepropertypatrol.com/ You can read the other posts showing even more title companies in license trouble.

Some Florida Real Estate Title companies have lost their license. Under new leadership, Florida’s Jeff Atwater, Chief Financial Officer cracks down on violators of Florida licensing laws.

Real Estate Title companies hire abstracters to research property titles. The title insurance company issues a title policy based on the abstracter’s report. When possible improprieties occur, the chief financial officer is held accountable. Usually, the title company, not the abstracter, has done something to violate Florida financial laws and the title company is disciplined.

Below is a list of Florida Real Estate Title companies that have been fined or had their license suspended or revoked due to alleged improprieties.

Company Name              Location                     Action Taken

Citrus Land Title,          Spring Hill               Suspended 3 mos.
Emerald Title                 Tamarac                    Suspended 3 mos.
Fellowship Title            Bunnell                      Suspended 3 mos.
LMT Title of So. FL     Miami                         Suspended 3 mos.
People’s Title                 Tampa                        License Revoked
Trinity Title                    Hialeah                      Suspended 3 mos.

A little off point: The Tea Party has started a new social networking site. What we found interesting about the site:

a.) Stay current on legislation

b.) Focus on candidates

Why Should Americans Vote?

I know this is a little off our normal topic but with the election just a few days off, I thought this video hit home.

I know our readers are smart enough to know the Method of Operation (MO) by Liberals is:

1. They try to bribe you – if that doesn’t work then they

2.  Threaten you with physical danger or lawsuits – if that doesn’t work then they

3. Attack you personally and attack yor character even if they have to make up lies.

Remember the saying – “The Truth Will Set You Free” and the truth wins in the end. Please share these two videos and thanks to our loyal readers for indulging me with this post.

Floridians should take note regarding Alex Sink and Rick Scott. Watch this video from the debate Monday night October 25, 2010.  Just so you know – I endorse Rick Scott.
