We speak a lot to real estate agents and lenders here on Bloodhound Blog.\u00a0 We hope (and know) that consumers read our work because we think you can learn a lot when you watch “industry folk” interact with one another.\u00a0 We’re a fast crowd here– we challenge the status quo a lot.<\/p>\n

Today, I want to talk to you, the watching consumer and I am going to speak directly to your fears about buying, owning, and\/or selling a home.\u00a0 I am not going to get into the weeds of your personal situation but I want to highlight one thing.\u00a0 You CAN own a home in this country and most everybody who writes on Bloodhound Blog can help you<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Today is the anniversary of D-Day.\u00a0 War is never anything to be celebrated but we can learn a lot from those who wage war.<\/p>\n

June 6, 1944<\/em><\/p>\n

You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you. In company with our brave Allies and brothers-in-arms on other Fronts you will bring about the destruction of the German war machine, the elimination of Nazi tyranny over oppressed peoples of Europe, and security for ourselves in a free world.<\/em><\/p>\n

Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well equipped and battle-hardened. He will fight savagely.<\/em><\/p>\n

But this is the year 1944. Much has happened since the Nazi triumphs of 1940-41. The United Nations have inflicted upon the Germans great defeats, in open battle, man-to-man. Our air offensive has seriously reduced their strength in the air and their capacity to wage war on the ground. Our Home Fronts have given us an overwhelming superiority in weapons and munitions of war, and placed at our disposal great reserves of trained fighting men. The tide has turned. The free men of the world are marching together to victory.<\/em><\/p>\n

I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty, and skill in battle. We will accept nothing less than full victory.<\/em><\/p>\n

Good Luck!<\/em><\/p>\n
