    Walking Away

    Walking away is, for the most part, the absolute best solution to homeowners who are underwater. The only factors to consider is how far under are you, and what is the future outlook for recovery back to past levels. That's if you have a fixed rate loan with an affordable payment, that...

    What's going into escrow - Irvine and maybe some Tustin too

    As far as the NOD to REO percentages - it really is MUCH higher than what is reported... for many reasons. BK fillings, people trying to work out payment plans, attorney fillings to stop foreclosure, the foreclosure grab 'n flip companies, etc... Sometimes they get extensions to the NTS...

    How do i report short sales fraud? Help

    If they are doing a short sale on their home, regardless of who buys it, it's not fraud. It's just a short sale. What are you going to report to the bank? The bank (or banks, as the case may be), are fully aware, on both the BUYER and SELLER sides, what is going on. They know it's a...

    Why are rent going down?

    There also appears to be a MASSIVE movement of people OUT of California. Jobs, real estate, cost of living, etc... you name it. Even the illegals are leaving, and that should tell you all you need to know. Less people + tons of vacancies = freefalling rents. Oh, and that won't help...

    Where will mortgage rates be in 2010/2011?

    You should be praying for MUCH higher rates if you are looking to buy in 2010/2011. The higher the rates, the less you'll pay. And you can always refi later to lower it. $500,000 loan today at 6% = $2,997 + ($6,250/12 = $521 in property tax (calculated at 1.25% of value)) = $3,518 mo...

    40 year Mortgage?

    40 year mortgages have no advantages over the 30 year right now, due to large differences between the actual interest rates. In addition, a 30/10 or 30/15 (30 year fixed with 10 or 15 year IO options) would be a much better choice for most people, and would carry a lower rate than the 40 year.

    The next mortgage crisis...Prime Borrowers?

    This article is correct... option ARM and IO ARM resets will be 100000x more damaging than the subprime problems. Resets that go to double, triple, or quadruple payments (minimums) during a time when people owe more than their homes are worth (no chance of refinancing or selling) = Almost a...
