All this is happening in the light of record foreclosures that are happening in the United States. Today, CNNMoney.com reported a record 1.2 million foreclosures in the United States, doubled to what they were last year. California and Florida accounted for 39% of all foreclosures during the last quarter. Other states with high foreclosure rates include Nevada, Arizona, Michigan, Rhode Island, Indiana, and Ohio.
Foreclosures Rise To 1.2 Million
Problems? Yes. Many problems.
Opportunities? A bigger YES! As real estate investors, we need to get in a help this economy get out of this hole. I know a lot of investors out there are doing just that and they are one of the reasons why the local markets are improving.
For now, we will need to keep a close eye on the New Gov Mac and Gov Mae. I am very curious as how the government will take care of this issue.
So, is Bush Administration a mortgage lender now? I guess so. This is going to be interesting…
To Your Success,
