Banks Seize Record Number Of Homes In August

NEW YORK — A record number of homeowners lost houses to their banks in August as lenders worked through the backlog of distressed mortgages, real estate data company RealtyTrac said Thursday.

We will be the generation that fell off the cliff. This thing will last decades and it will never be the way it once was. The world turned and we cant catch up.

And they will sell the property to China to pay off the debt therefore effectively selling out the country.

The mortgage companies have an incentive to let loans default.

Due to TARP the insurance providers for mortgage companies are propped up by the government (our taxes).... the mortgage companies make more money if loan defaults and they recover the difference through insurance and then sell the house at auction and make more money on another loan.

Thats how I bought my last foreclosure at below market rates. The bank didn't care about cost. I now have 150 grand in equity.

Don't you love it when the government gets involved in our lives. Buy a safe and store your cash.
