We've worked very hard over the last challenging year to not only maintain business, but actually grow our firm.  With that in mind we're excited to announce what is new and exciting

for Legacy Lending Group.

We were approached in March with an opportunity to be a part of a local financial radio talk how. The host and planners of the show have done business with Legacy Lending Group and were encouraged by our business philosophy & practices. They invited us to join their team as they felt we would be able to add value to the show.  After a six month due diligence process, we have decided to participate in this venture.

The mission of the show is to provide financial expertise & information to a broad base of listeners leading to increased financial planning awareness and eventually financial security to those who listen and act on sound advice.  This is not a 'mortgage specific' show.  It will cover a great range of financial topics.  We feel strongly that you'll really enjoy the format and content.

The radio is a great medium to reach a broad audience. We are a part of a team of local experts that will also take part in this daily radio show, including a local financial adviser firm, a CPA firm, estate planning firm, and real estate professionals that are among the best in their field. An individual that hosted a financial radio show for the last eight years will serve as the full-time host of the program.

We hope you will consider tuning into the show yourself and providing any feedback you may have.

The show will be broadcast Monday thru Friday on 630 AM from 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm.

If you can't get it on your radio then log on and listen to it on-line.  http://www.580kido.com/pages/main

We had a friend that forwarded us this article from the NY Times in 1999....remember that year way back when?

Sometimes, by allowing our 'human side' to take over for our 'common sense side' bad things will happen.  In 1999 we were so worried that people weren't going to be able to live the "American Dream" of owning a home that we lowered the standards so that anyone that could fog a mirror could qualify for a loan.  Now the economy is suffering as a direct result of it.  I'm hearing a lot of the same rhetoric from the Federal Government currently on helping those people who bought at the market high and are now 'upside-down' in their houses.  The government is talking about forcing the banks to lower the mortgage amount so that people don't get financially damaged.

Im' curious to hear your input here...
