Our blog is about keeping builders with growing inventories that are being beaten on by the banks from stepping in it.The sole purpose is to have a place to tell your story and to read those of others. We do not want to bash, but to make a place to see there are others out there. Share the stories and methods that worked and ones that brought on more headaches….the ones that did not. We have lived through some pretty tough scrapes by holding strong. Not wasting precious resources by fighting the institution or defending the act of not paying our obligations, but by showing the aggressors that this is not a market that any one builder or person caused. Showing them that we did not cause this and that we share the problem with the banks. It is up to them to notice that we are not going to just roll over because they beat on us. Stand tall, help your brothers stand tall, and for Petes sake, when they take swings at you, don’t just take it. Push Back.Post your story under one of the topics and share your story, you can remain anonymous but please, take the survey, share some of the tools that worked for you to keep alive.

We didnt start the fire......

"It is time for answers", notes HOME BUILDERS ASSOCIATION Spokesman__________. "The Housing Boom was fueled to excess by Wall Street and Banks. The Banks were wining and dining Home Builders, virtually throwing money at them in an effort to profit from thirst for homes and continuing rise in home prices. Now the "oomph" is out of that boom, and those same Bankers are howling like Wolves at the door of every builder in the metro area. The Banks overspent, used the Builders to fuel their fires, and now are turning on those Builders, burining the Builders now that the bubble is burst and the public isn't feeding at the trough any more! The Home Builders Association isn't going to lie back and watch its members be destroyed by greedy, myopic Banks and Bankers. The Banks blame the Brokers, blame the Builders for the excesses, but they forget who wrote the checks that fueled the fires. Banks forget who offered the credit and collected the fees that built those houses. We, the H.B.A., are not going to forget. We are taking names, responding to those Banks that couldn't give enought credit, and now can't be bothered to assist those Builders whose lives and livlihoods the Banks have jeopardized!
