Foreclosure Moratoriums: It's Time to Get Real [View article]
Many of you folks think everybody buying was flippers or using no money down. Quite a few people put down 10--20% and in areas like South Florida see their value down 60+%. So on a 500k home with 100k down, the home is worth 200k now, and you still owe 400k. At least 200k negative on a home you bought 3 years ago.
My thinking is to streamline and get the people out of an unmanagable situation. These buyers have been slaughtered in masses, say 7-8 years worth of buyers.
If they are working re-write the loan with a new appraised value, or get them out and auction off the house for expediency. Foreclosures and short sales are taking way to long and further depressing the situation. Short sales are a joke, banks take months to respond, squeeze the distressed seller for any remaining assets like retirement accounts, and have turned off buyers from this long arduous process.

axelrod is so correct.. major major missed opportunity and so far Obama is missing the ball at every angle...appointees, policy.
Obama has only a few swings at the plate before the money runs dry and the window of opportunity vanishes....government refuses to get serious about regulation and has yet to come up with a strategy that makes any sense.... all paths lead down.
