Yes, welcome into another edition of the Tim

McKernan show here on the Inside STL Podcast Network alongside

producer John Seymour. I'm your host Tim McKernan and we are in the

Home Loan Expert.com studios.

Usually we drop New Sodes on Thursday with questions from the audience and we'll continue to do that.

It's the runaway hit of the podcast season.

And of course we have our new interviews every Monday.

But this week we called an audible, the Seamaster, said wouldn't it be good to get Tony messenger in with all of the news going on locally with the governor and also with Josh Haw the attorney general who will likely be running

in November against Claire McCaskill for the US Senate and then also we've had a lot of

discussion on the county merger with the

city and where that stands a lot of people ask about it we certainly discuss it and

so we thought it was a good time to have Tony Messenger in the columnist for the St. Louis Post Dispatch

and get his perspective on all of those pieces of news. We kind of get into a civic discussion

along with a St. Louis slash Missouri topical discussion with what I just

discussed at the open here. So you have all of that coming your way with Tony

Messenger and really enjoyed the conversation so hopefully you will enjoy it as well.

We thank Ryan Kelly, the Home Loan Expert.com,

for his support of the program

and his sponsorship of the studios

on the Tim McKernan show. he says experts are predicting that in 2018 the purchase market will be even hotter than 2017.

They're going to be a lot more buyers than sellers.

It is very important that you are working with the right lender.
