Do You Have a Second Mortgage and Equity? Prime Just Went up to 7.25%

Alan Greenspan decided to raise rates just one more time at his last meeting as “Chief of the Federal Reserve.” What does this mean for you? Well if you have a second mortgage, it probably means your payments just went up again. In December of 2003 the Prime Rate was a low 4%, making Home Equity Lines of Credit very attractive, since these loans are tied to the Prime Rate. Since then, the Prime Rate has increased more than 10 times to make it a whopping 7.25%. Those who have held their home equity lines since then have seen their payments almost double. The good news is that Read the rest of this entry »

Chandler will be presenting the incorporation study Feb. 23 at the RSF Garden Club. The meeting will begin at 7 p.m. The format of the presentation is not one of debate, but rather one where residents can ask questions and clarify concerns.
The Association board was faced with a standing-room only crowd at the Feb. 2 meeting, filled mostly with Covenant residents opposed to incorporation.
