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.

What potential homebuyers and investors need to recognize from all of this is that hoping to catch the market at or near the bottom before values start appreciating again is most likely not going to happen. In the first, and the more closely watched of the two, the Federal Reserve took a much anticipated move to lessen the pressure on the nation’s economy by lowering the federal funds rate another 25 basis points to 2 percent (that’s a long way down from the 5.25
