  • 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.

  • Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News [View article]
    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.
