I was hoping that banks had improved their attitudes and would start working with homeowners to keep them in their homes, but it doesn't seem to me like much has changed. I still feel like either they or the loan servicers are more eager to foreclosure which only contributes to the problems in t...

I thought this was a pretty cool site. It has you put in your data to determine whether it is more prudent to buy or rent. Yes, even a good realtor will tell you if you should wait on buying a house. I would not want someone to get into something they can't afford and it is best to go to some ...
