Question: Why do you think we are seeing so many Foreclosures in the housing market right now?

By

It is my belief that we have always had a great deal of foreclosure homes on the market. The real difference with now is that everyone knows about them, especially now since most areas are experiencing record highs of these types of properties. I broadly attribute much of this to lack of knowledge on part of the borrower about which mortgage plans to pursue and associated risks, popularity of interest-only and adjustable ARMS in recent years, easy to get appraisal figures and a slowing new construction crisis.

 What do you think?

I agree, also the lack of knowledge that clients have towards their credit and the abilities to getting qualified.  I had a client during the loan process switch jobs and try to finance a new car and refrigerator!  The loan closed, but I pulled out a few hairs in the process.

I agree

BUt it is also a lack of planning if people already know about this then they need to plan for it just incase that it happens to them, well they plan so that it does not happen to them. I mean if you plan them it probly wont happen.

I mean if you dont plan then everything that you have worked for will go down the drian.

you will be screwed

thanks
