• The Legend of Foreclosure Vandalism Grows
  
  The article claims that "real estate agents estimate that about half of foreclosed properties to be sold by mortgage companies nationwide have substantial damage, according to a new survey by Campbell Communications, a marketing and research firm based in Washington, D.C." But even if it isnt true, the lesson taught by these types of urban legends is still very important for foreclosure buyers and investors: when you buy a foreclosure property without being able to conduct a full inspection first, make the assumption that the property is substantially vandalized and calculate

• When Foreclosure Is Not Politically Correct
  
  Located in the upscale Curtis Park neighborhood of Sacramento, the property has gone through the foreclosure auction process and reportedly been purchased by Red Rock Mortgage for $388,000, a far cry from the $535,000 Richardson paid for it back in January 2007. RealtyTrac estimates the current market value of the property at $503,000. Typically when you read about a politician and foreclosure, it’s in relation to some piece of legislation created to combat the recent surge in foreclosures. But the topic of foreclosure recently became much more personal for one Long Beach,

• Home Prices Fall Deeper Into the Abyss
  
  Washington, Los Angeles, New York and Miami are highlighted in a S&P press release as the best performing markets overall since January 2000. For potential homebuyers, investors and real estate professionals, it means the flow of foreclosed properties should continue into the indefinite future — at least until home prices stabilize somewhere down the abyss and reverse their direction back up the elevator shaft.

• Almost Like Reliving the Nineties
  
  And we continue to believe that it will take a true recovery of the housing sector before the nation pulls out of the black hole it’s falling into thanks to seven years of poor financial planning in Washington and the too little too late kneejerk response of the Federal Reserve. It doesn’t matter whether you are talking about total foreclosure filings (defaults, auctions and REOs together) or the total number of unique properties being foreclosed on every month. Well, in case you either weren’t in the business at that time, or were hoping to erase the nightmare permanently, welcome to the early 1990s redeaux…almost!

• Can "Appreciation Sharing" Solve The Mortgage Mess?
  
  But for those with toxic loans, a high-cost mortgage with sane terms is better than foreclosure, bankruptcy and having your stuff sitting on the curb. Equity Sharing During the past few months there has been a huge debate in Washington regarding how to assist those with toxic loans, assuming they should get any assistance at all. Under equity sharing there can be an owner-occupant who lives on the property, a non-occupant owner such as a family member or investor and both owners can get tax breaks. Can “Appreciation Sharing” Solve The Mortgage Mess? By Peter G.

• Wachovia Changes The Lending Game
  
  If that happens, the Wachovia plan may well be responsible for saving tens of thousands of families from foreclosure.” Washington On Capitol Hill, both the House and the Senate have passed measures that would allow the FHA to insure up to $300 billion in special mortgages for those facing foreclosure. This new prepayment policy, said Laurent Bossard, WMC’s chief executive officer, “provides borrowers with enhanced flexibility to avoid prepayment fees.” “Just as in the case with WMC, the Wachovia initiative will change the mortgage debate in Washington,” added RealtyTrac’s Saccacio.

• Another Approach to $700 Billion Bailout
  
  Below are excerpts from an article he wrote about these alternatives. "One alternative is to simply offer low-interest loans to borrowers who currently have toxic mortgages. "Figures developed by Rick Sharga, senior vice president at RealtyTrac, show that the likely cost of low interest loans would be roughly $220 billion — hardly cheap, but a lot less expensive than the $700 billion plan now being discussed in Washington. "Sharga's If a property was sold and the entire amount was not repaid, the borrower would be required to pay $500 a year until the debt
