After weeks and weeks of waiting, the Carnival has finally made its way here. I had about 28 entries to go through this week, which was less than I expected (fortunately for my eyes, and my fruit fly esque attention span). I wanted to stick with the top 10, but a ton of the ones that didn’t make the cut, were great entries that were either similar topics to other ones or just didn’t grab my attention as much as the top 10 did. So I’m going to stick with the whole 21 theme, and have the party today (top 10), and the hangover tomorrow (great entries that I can’t deny you, that just didn’t make the cut).
So lets get to it.
Starting off with an eye opener, I decided to give top honors to a newbie to the Carnival (also a late submitter, tsk tsk tsk). As Stefan Scholl from the Northern Michigan Real Estate Blog presents: NAR’s Antitrust Problems - the tip of the iceberg?
Followed by the rest of the party, in no particular order other than I liked the top ones more than the bottom ones.

Rick at Landlord Shmandlord lays out how to shave years of your mortgage (and if you should) with How beneficial is it to make extra mortgage payments each year? I recently had to take some continuing ed classes, and the agent who was teaching the course, would always present this information to his buyers at the closing table, preceded by “Now I’m really going to earn that commission, let me save you more money…”
