    Are there still zero down loans?

    As a follow-up to caliguy2699's post I have heard some of the ARMs at OCTFCU may be $0 down also. Not 100% sure, however, probably based upon FICO.

    2003 Prices or Rollbacks

    Here's a great rollback in Lake Forest, $183K for a 2 bedroom (short sale). I went down there to check it out, you must know spanish for this neighborhood & the unit needs some work (tear out the carpet, floor was put over carpet or something because it sinks when you step on it, etc)...

    IAC Renters. Check the prices before you renew your Lease.

    Here's the bottom line: IAC will try and hit you up with a 5% increase. Just go in an negotiate nicely with them and they will usually only do a 2-2.5% increase. If they think you are serious, going to leave, and are a good renter (no bounced checks, pays on time or early, no noise), they will...

    OFHEO lifts caps for FRE, FNM

    These stocks still haven't straightened out their accounting train wrecks. If it were anything other than a GSE, they would have been delisted a long time ago.
