I'm Tami Luhby and I cover personal finance for Newsday. After writing about topics such as taxes, 401(k)s and student loans for six years, I've now added mortgages to the mix.
In this blog, I hope to give you useful information on obtaining a mortgage, handling the monthly bill or finding help if the payments have just become too much to bear. Also, I'll post any interesting Long Island housing-related tidbits I come across.
When not at Newsday, I teach at Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism and do marathons/triathlons with my husband.
If you have any ideas, questions or tips for the blog, let me know at luhby@newsday.com.
