Introducing the Hope Now program in 2007, President Bush said “weve got a role, Don’t Dump Investors By Peter G. Miller When it comes to bailing out giant banks, huge

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. 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.

2007: Housing Slowdown Good for Foreclosures
The cooling real estate sector will continue to plague the national economy next year, but enough positive economic fundamentals remain in place to counteract forces threatening to push the U.S. That means 2007 should be a good year for anyone involved in the foreclosure sector of the market — whether they are real estate agents, potential home buyers or real estate investors.

Gentle January Foreclosure Increase
Although they were up 57 percent from January 2007 and 8 percent from December, the January foreclosure numbers released today by RealtyTrac do not appear to represent the massive wave of foreclosures that is expected to hit sometime soon thanks to the rash of risky loans given to borrowers as late as just last year . And in either case, does that make the current market a good one in which to buy or invest in real estate? Its too early too tell if the relatively meek January numbers mean more distressed homeowners are staving off foreclosure thanks to increasingly pro-active lenders and government intervention , or if they just represent the first few raindrops of what will prove to be a violent thunderstorm.

Not surprisingly, more than 115,568 properties entered some stage of foreclosure nationwide in October, according to RealtyTrac’s U.S. Debt!
