- Fha Arizona: Slowing The Bleed
By: Brett Nordin | - Just like the Camaro, FHA is popular again in Arizona. And with FHA reform around the corner, it may take an even bigger bite out of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. So what's all the excitement about? You still need a fairly clean credit report or some compensating factors to qualify for an FHA loan. Also, the FHA rates can be less competitive and there is mortgage insurance, even with 20% down payment. For me it's not about credit or rate and I'll explain why.

By: Mark Brandon | - #10 - Soft Dollar Expenses
The reason a mutual fund exists is so small investors can pool their money, hire professional management, and attain diversity that would be nearly impossible for the small investor by himself or herself.

- Reasons To Fire Your Mutual Fund Company: 12b-1 Fees
By: Mark Brandon | - The 12b-1 fee is the obscurely-named outrage that dings investors in mutual funds so that management can market the fund. In 1980, the mutual fund industry successfully lobbied the SEC to allow this fee with the justification that a larger fund lowers the expenses for everybody. In theory, the logic is right when you take into account the same expenses being spread over a larger pool of assets. However, there are several problems with this thinking:
