Option ARM Borrowers Running Out Of Time
Lastly, we have the real attraction of option ARMs, the option payment itself, a payment which is insufficient to even pay off the monthly interest cost.

  • Data Suggests Decline in California Foreclosures
    The current Chapman estimate is for 226,000 jobs to be created by year-end 2006, with another 150,000 jobs added during 2007. Since unemployment rates are historically a good indicator of foreclosure rates, this bodes well for California homeowners, but less well for real estate investors, first-time home buyers and real estate professionals who may be waiting for the long-anticipated flood of foreclosure inventory.
