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. Because Fitch says that a 40-year loan term represented 4 percent of all option ARMs in 2004 -- but 38 percent by 2007.

RealtyTrac™ ( www.realtytrac.com ), the leading online marketplace for foreclosure properties, released its September 2006 U.S. The report also shows a national foreclosure rate of one new foreclosure filing for every 1,030 U.S. The next big wave of news may be a true real-estate slump, as hundreds of billions in adjustable-rate mortgages reset, making it even more difficult for homeowners in depressed markets to meet higher monthly payments.

In short, some Realtors take offense at such sites, which they see as giving consumers a false belief that much of the research involved in a real estate transaction can be done without the help of a Realtor. “I LONG BEACH, Calif. — I don’t think value is
