first time buyer program: Los Angeles Branded a Tough Market for Renters - GOOD FOR BUYERS! - 05/11/11 08:50 AM
Businessweek came out a list of the 25 Toughest Cities for Renters.  By that, they mean the top 25 cities that have the lowest affordability for renters.  These are cities where average rents are rising, real income is stagnating or, in some cases, falling and where the supply of affordable housing has declined thus forcing rental households to pay a greater share of income than ever before.

The other day, I posted What is a HomePath Property and How Can I Buy One? - FAQ #11.  Basically, I blogged about the pros and cons of Fannie Mae's HomePath properties and loan program.  Now, anyone who has read my blog, knows that I am not a big fan of this program or most of the run-down, dilapidated, dumpy properties that fall under this program. 
My professional experience with these properties are that many of them are in worse shape than most of the other REO's on the market.  Furthermore, I'm not convinced that the advantages of this program … (6 comments)
