A quote from a conference this weekend, from the NY Times:
"There are families not eating at the end of the month,” said Stephen Quinn, executive vice president and chief marketing officer at Wal-Mart Stores, and “literally lining up at midnight” at Wal-Mart stores waiting to buy food when paychecks or government checks land in their accounts. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/09/business/me... |

Note the first house in the supplied video. The owner bought it for 450K, took out an equity loan for over a MILLION dollars, filed bankruptcy, and walked away.
IMO, that is called "stealing." The money he took is being paid back by YOU, the taxpayer. In any case, these homes are starting to pile up as the con artists who took advantage of the unqualified loans are beginning to have action taken against them by the bank, thus extinguishing the months of free rent they've enjoyed. They're stuck with taking the money and either renting, OR they actually bidding on their own foreclosed house with the money they stole. They don't need good credit if they're paying cash. The cash from the earlier equity loan of the house. They can buy it back for cash, and at a huge discount sometimes. There's a lot more of this to go. McMansions are next up to the plate. It's going to be very ugly next year. http://www.youtube.com/watch... |
