Introducing the Hope Now program in 2007, President Bush said “weve got a role, the government has got a role to play — but it is limited. Don’t Dump Investors By Peter G. Miller When it comes to

No Mortgage Meltdown For These Banks
not far from Manhattan, Hudson City Bancorp has a lending philosophy that dates back decades: You can get a dull, boring, mortgage from Hudson at a very low rate — but only if you put equity into the property. As one example, Hermance says that of 50,000 New Jersey mortgages his bank bought back just two properties during a recent 12-month period. percent of No Mortgage Meltdown For These Banks By Peter G.

Option ARM Borrowers Running Out Of Time
You say you want to buy a home but have no money. You say monthly payments are unaffordable but you want to buy anyway. Because Fitch says that a 40-year loan term represented 4 percent of all option ARMs in 2004 -- but 38 percent by 2007. A loan with four payment options may seem fairly understandable, but in the real world a lot of borrowers did not take out option ARMs because they wanted to make fully-amortizing payments. Option ARM Borrowers Running Out Of Time By Peter G. Miller Step right up folks.

California Foreclosures 2007: Steady As She Goes
Through November, RealtyTrac tallied nearly 130,000 properties that entered some stage of foreclosure in California alone during 2006; accounting for roughly 11 percent of the nation’s foreclosures for the same period. That said, foreclosure levels for 2007 are more likely to be a continuation of 2006, rather than a reprise of the early 1990s when foreclosures were rampant due to extensive job losses, high interest rates, high inflation and a resulting recession. A dubious honor at best, the Golden State maintained a level of foreclosure activity during the past year that kept it in the nation’s upper echelon in terms of state foreclosure totals.

Detroit, Stockton and Las Vegas were the top three, each with more than 4 percent of total households in some stage of foreclosure during the year.
