Declassified Neighborhood Govt Photo A grainy cell phone photo has emerged of a creature--once thought to be mere myth and legend--said to inhabit a thick, arcane portion of the Hennepin County Government Center, where mortgage data can be accessed on public computers...
The creature is said to be so obsessed with mortgages that he can spot minor errors in data entry by checking out the spread in variable rates of interest, with his bare eyes, and he can dwell upon thorny thickets of mortgage data until most other creatures would black out and lose consciousness.
BUT SERIOUSLY, FOLKS...a few days ago, Hawthorne Housing Director Jeff Skrenes gave me a task of accessing mortgage data for some homes in Hawthorne, many in danger of going into foreclosure...like we need more of THAT.
Clearly, some individuals got VERY BAD DEALS on mortgages. Like, oh gee, a potential interest rate of 17 percent. (The Mortgage Geek Creature points out that's all they may have qualified for with their credit) But there are other instances where some kind of fraud seems to be between the lines.
In any case, the Hawthorne Neighborhood needed this data for an important presentation, and given the pressing time constraints, two people were needed to pull data before the Government Center closed. I was happy to help my neighborhood and, of course, when Jeff is talking about mortgages, he is jovial company...like a librarian is jovial company when talking about her INDEXES.
There is no help for this sick puppy. Believe me, we have all tried.
Best to just tolerate Jeff's mortgage obsession and go with the flow, because his intense focus has done wonders for our neighborhood in the wake of the foreclosure crisis. This data may help us locate and save homeowners from foreclosure. It's a good thing we have a mortgage geek who understands the particulars of...well, I can't even remember the boring phrases involved, heaven help me.

But Jeff understands ALL of it.
