Missing Keys and a Rate Drop

Two of our community office bathroom keys are missing. The keys are nine dollars each and James is sending frantic e-mails out to the team to determine the guilty culprit. In one e-mail he mentioned three times that the keys are nine dollars each. Actually, you know what? Let’s just share his e-mail with the group, shall we?

Hey guys.  Until a few weeks ago, we had two bathroom keys that sat at the desk in the front of the office.  Those have disappeared.  Please check your pockets, drawers, etc. to see if you have one of these keys.  I’m not kidding when I say that these keys cost almost $9 a piece.  If you’ve never been given a bathroom key of your very own, please let me know.  If you’ve lost your bathroom key, and need a new one, it will be $9.

Sorry to be so blunt about it, but if we all lose those keys, then it will be very uncomfortable for everyone while we wait for new $9 keys to be cut for us.

Thanks!

Hey, we don’t provide affordable home loans without cutting costs in the office, right?

Next, an update on rates. I don’t know what they are today, but I do know that on Wednesday, one day after my “Are Mortgage Rates Increasing?” post, they improved a bit. You want to know why? Because of something to do with Apple. Here’s the scoop:

Mortgage Bonds are pushing higher this morning following through on yesterday’s late day rally. This was sparked by a downgrade in the shares of Apple, which led the broader Stock markets lower and shifted cash back into the safe haven trade of the Bond markets. – August 22.

I realize real mortgage blogs should give you up-to-date rate information rather than two day old moldy cheese updates like I’m giving, but I’m doing the best I can, okay?

Speaking of moldy cheese – it’s my birthday! The cheese part comes in because, though I eat a 98% plant-based diet, pizza remains my favorite food in the universe, and unless God comes to earth and tells me to stop eating pizza (which I’m really hoping He doesn’t), I will enjoy it on every birthday for as long as I live. I’m coming, Star Pizza!

If you’d like to find out what interest rate you’d be looking at on a home loan of your very own, contact me or my fab Bosses and we’ll get you set right up. James may or may not ask you if you’ve seen the missing bathroom key, but you just claim you don’t know anything, okay?

Shhhhhh…
