The Government Goes After Loan Officers
Most investors who bought these securities,” says the SEC, “lacked the cash or income to do so, but were urged by their brokers to raise the money to pay for the purchases and the monthly payments required for these products by refinancing their fixed-rate mortgages into subprime adjustable-rate negative amortization mortgages.” According to the SECs complaint “each defendant was a mortgage broker as well as a registered representative and collected compensation from the mortgage refinancings as well as the sales of securities.

Where to find the best deals on foreclosures
Our analysis of nationwide foreclosure property sales in the last seven months shows that while some areas of the country documented a plethora of properties in foreclosure and big savings on foreclosure purchases, other areas reported relatively low foreclosure inventories and smaller average savings on foreclosure purchases. In addition, the low average sales price of foreclosures in these states makes it easier to purchase a foreclosure property — especially at foreclosure auctions, where the full amount in cash is sometimes required. It’s important for buyers and investors who are interested in the foreclosures market to carefully evaluate local market conditions before diving into foreclosures in any given area.

With a population of fewer than 55,000, the Lake Havasu, Ariz., real estate market is still declining.
