NEW -> Contingent Buyer Assistance Program
Hi guys,

Long time lurker, low level poster here, but I think I've got some interesting news to share with the community.

Mr. Mortgage is back and has a new website up, and he's talking about the wave of foreclosures coming in June.

Here's the link:

Treasury says about $110B left in bailout fund

WASHINGTON – Only $109.6 billion in resources remain in the government's $700 billion financial rescue fund.

But Treasury Department officials said Tuesday they expect the fund will be boosted over the next year by about $25 billion as some institutions pay back money they have received. That would boost the total to $134.6 billion.

Meanwhile Home Gallery Magazine (you know the glossy house pimpin' rag) for the IE has pages of homes listed with lines like $643 per month*** for 3bd, 3ba, SFR 1500F

That footnote, the ***, it's horrible...

*** based on 3.5% down, 5.5% FHA 30 year fixed, PITI, PMI & 5.876% APR.

Yes. That's right, payment, taxes, and PMI for under $700/month. It's not one home. It's page after page that will take $3000 and a $30,000/yr income to buy.

Or maybe you'd just like to use your planned down payment for a cruddy Irvine townhome to buy it free and clear and still have money left over to remodel the kitchen...

Maybe you want bigger, how about $1242/mo*** for 4/4 SFR in 3100sf. That one is horrible, it's going need $5500 down to do the deal.
 
Existing Home Sales Fall 3 Percent In March To Annul Rate of 4.57 Million

I am confused, and not sarcastically. I thought home sales would increase for a month or two.

Swine Flu enters dangerous new phase...

The panic drums continues to beat.

The excuses for the economy are already appearing.

welcome to the State of Fear...

Oh no, the panic is ending... Three new swine flu deaths in Mexico! Oh wait, it's only the 19th death in Mexico from the flu. The panicked breathless reported of probable deaths last week was once again erroneous. Instead of thousands of cases and hundreds of deaths, it's a few hundred cases and 19 deaths...

Millionaires Go Missing

One-third of the millionaires have disappeared from Maryland tax rolls. In 2008 roughly 3,000 million-dollar income tax returns were filed by the end of April. This year there were 2,000, which the state comptroller's office concedes is a "substantial decline." On those missing returns, the government collects 6.25% of nothing. Instead of the state coffers gaining the extra $106 million the politicians predicted, millionaires paid $100 million less in taxes than they did last year -- even at higher rates.
