TAMPA, Florida (WFTS) — Tampa dentist Mike Foley pulls a lot more than just teeth, including his 2,000-pound car.Foley loves showing off the power of his jaws, and you could say it all started with his favorite movie.“The easiest thing to find in Florida is shark teeth,” said Foley. “So we’d go to the beach, we’d find 15, 20 shark teeth every time, and that’s pretty much what hooked me on teeth.”After collecting thousands of shark teeth as a kid, Foley decided to move on to human teeth as an adult—not collecting, but cleaning, at Friendly Smiles Dental Care in Tampa.“It was an easy transition, you know, it’s funny, I end up talking to my patients about my shark tooth passion quite often,” said Foley.He even made some shark dentures, which ended up in Ripley’s Believe It or Not.“I was always inspired by their weird oddities, so a lot of my collection revolves around what they have,” said Foley.However, his latest hobby is the craziest yet: pulling his car with his teeth. ...

Canada’s home prices could complicate private mortgage renewals: broker

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 07:18:38 GMT

Some homeowners in Canada are finding themselves in a tough position as they approach the time to renew their mortgage.The renewal period can be a stressful situation at the best of times. But now, in some cases, private mortgage lenders are choosing not to stick with existing borrowers. This comes down to dropping home prices, explains Reza Sabour, a senior mortgage advisor with TMG The Mortgage Group.“The private lenders typically don’t like to renew private mortgages maybe more than once. So, once they see a client is falling in that renewal loop, they’ll actually usually try their best to convince that client to qualify at a bank,” he told CityNews.“And those clients, if they’re still unable to qualify, they would have a difficult time moving it elsewhere.”Related articles: Expert calls on StatCan to overhaul inflation formula to better reflect housing costsWhat can $1 million get you in Canada’s real estate market?Calls grow for c...
