Below is text from a lady in a story about the bailout.
Begin
But for her, the plan seems too late. The single mother of three can't pay
her adjustable-rate mortgage, whose monthly payments have jumped from
$3,700 in 2005 to more than $4,000 today. She works two jobs to try to
make enough money to get by, but she's behind in house payments and has
gotten a foreclosure letter saying her home will be up for auction Friday.
End
It is clear she never need a house in that price range to begin with. I
would bet she felt by buying the most she could she would make a huge
profit in 5 or so years. Well to flipping bad.
She should have purchased a smaller home for say 200K at a monthly price
she could afford. Clue anyone that did an adjustable in 2005 bought over
their head.
Hell the house we live in is a small house fully paid for and it suits us
just fine. We never felt the need to have 4 k a month payments.
The lady broke the main rule. She purchased a house as an investment
instead of a home.
I say screw her and to the street she should go. Now if the house was say
a 150K place I would say help her all we can but lets get real. Those
that wanted to live the high life on average income need to wake the flip
up.
I do not feel sorry for her at all but you can bet I feel for the family
trying to hang on to there small home yes I said home!

It sounds almost exactly like my ex-wife's situation. I rarely find myself
in the position of defending her, but the instant she went to even look at
houses on the market five years ago she was sunk. A predatory lender got
ahold of her and there was *no* way, and I mean that it became impossible,
for her to say "no" to the biggest deal they could find for her. It just
wasn't in her. Throw in the fact that she's totally naive and from another
country and I don't know what we're supposed to do.

What we're supposed to do is make sure that the cost of bad loans falls
squarely on the company writing the paper and the person signing it. Even
if the people signing it are ignorant, such a system should prevent very
bad paper from being written in the first place.
Of course, by bailing out everyone involved, we've just made it very
advantageous to write bad paper and to sign it. I'm rather kicking myself
that I don't have a mortgage to default on. About 30 days before the
inauguration I figured it was the perfect time to stop making payments and
minimize your aparent income to align yourself for the inevitable Obama
plan. I was spot on timing-wise, but alas didn't have the mortgaged house
needed to take advantage of the prediction.

That would have required mone and a credit rating ...OOPS .. actually , it
didnt . So what you are saying is that when every "deadbeat" in the world
was buying a house , you couldnt qualify ? You dont even qualify as a
"deadbeat"?
And 30 days before the election , they werent discussing any 'specific"
plans for a bailout .. so that line is a lie !

Yes, ruin your credit rating on the hope you'll grab a few thousand bucks

I have a semi-serious question here.
My wife and I bought this house in 1994 with a 30 year, fixed rate
motrgage.
We (I) have been making the payments ever since.
So now.
If I quit making the payments starting right now.
How many months or years would it take for me to be able to latch on
to the special programs that are being considered?
Anyone?

My guess is your income's too high, your mortgage isn't ugly enough, and
you'd be starting too late. Remember, this bailout only helps the
incredibly irresponsible and those who can plausibly fake it.

Few thousand bucks my ass. The way the Obama plan works you could easily
net out 300,000 in equity in a few months without lifting a finger. All
you have to do is be able to claim an income low enough and get a loan
ridiculous enough.
Give me 300,000 right now and I'll gladly promise not to borrow another
cent in my life. Other than brokerage margin accounts (which don't depend
on credit rating) I haven't borrowed a cent in the last 10 years, so it
wouldn't exactly be a hardship.
Plus being 1-2 months behind on your house for a few months (you won't be
foreclosed on in the time frame involved) won't even particularly hurt
your credit score a few years down the road.
Point being, the Obama plan is ludicrous.

and that nets you 300k ...HOW?....moron ? You think that if you miss 5
payments , they just give you the house ?
You know less about this than you do about poker .

Says I can afford a house for 360,000.00. There is NOWAY in fucking hell
I would buy a house for that amount of money. I live in a modest
100,000.00 house and when we 'upgrade' it will be to a 200,000 house,
TOPS. They say I can 'afford' almost twice what I am comfortable paying.

650,000 conservative, 770,000 aggerssive.
Not a chance in fucking hell could or should I carry that.
I am happy in my $350,000
psst, JBK prices are realative. $100,000 in Danville is VERY different
then $100,000 in Detroit.

I agree, but I do not live in Detroit.
If I lived here: http://www.twp.west-bloomfield.mi.us/info/info.cfm
Note:
http://www.creditwritedowns.com/2008/08/twenty-wealthiest-towns-in-america.html
I would STILL say I lived in Detroit when talking to people from out of
state. Bloomfield is about 5 minutes from where I work and just about as
close to the city of DETROIT (downtown that is) as I am.
I am sure my house would be considered a hole to a lot of people here, but
everything is relative:

It is all relative doggy. I think it is ok. I do not consider it a hole
