loan modifications: PRINCIPAL REDUCTIONS - WILL THE BANK GUARANTEE THE VALUE OF YOUR HOME? - 01/28/12 12:07 AM
Often times I get this question a lot trough my website www.Short-Sales-Expert.com
"Why can the Lenders just reduce the principal so troubled homeowners can stay in their houses. . ."

Mostly because if they agree to one, then their next door neighbors would want the same thing..and their next door neighbors and their next door neighbors and so on. . .until the banking industry collapses
