    Banks not taking houses post-foreclosure = shadow inventory threatening economy

    Unless the notice has an actual date for the sheriff sale/auction (which even then could be postponed if negotiated or what have you), then yes. Average, AVERAGE right now for the whole process to finish from the first missed payment is 9-12 months..on EVERY file.

    Federal Court Judges’ Frustration Grows With Mortgage Servicers

    I don't have that nypost article offhand, but in relation to that there was a law firm started up making a killing in that dept. as many servicers couldn't produce the original documentation, thus throwing the mortgage in question out.

    U.S. Food-Stamp Recipients Reach Record 35.1 Million

    wow. 1 in 9 basically. Soon, it'll be 1 in 8...or even 1 in 7... Funny though the average keeps trickling down. Keep putting them on, even though they may not get as much! Spread the wealth! $133.12/person on average = $33.28/week = $4.75/day Can you feasibly, consistently...

    Foreclosure Numbers Going In Wrong Direction: Getting Much, Much Worse

    Rule #1 of an investor: "don't get emotionally attached to the home you want to buy." Rule #1 of a homebuyer: "buy the home you LOVE regardless of price.." :D :D

    Foreclosure Numbers Going In Wrong Direction: Getting Much, Much Worse

    let's see how long before they start falling behind :D I'm finding more and more "nice" houses on my routes going well delinquent on their mortgages :) Not just the junk, multi-family ones. After about 4+ months of visiting these places, it'll take a while, but they'll be 2010 foreclosure...

    The FDIC is broke

    They could, true, but if you start having a several week min-run where 3-5 banks fail each week...(which hasn't happened yet, as there have been quiet weeks)

    Banks Postponing Day of Reckoning

    so now in a way they're "controlling" the housing market through supply. Green shits again. Hard to curb things though when I see dozens of auctions still scheduled nearly every day in my area.

    Las Vegas & Parts of California and Florida - 90% of mortgages may end up underwater

    Look at core expenses. -Food (got to eat) -Clothing (got to wear something) -Shelter (have a roof, or live out of a car) -Transportation (public or car) Then decide what is "actual" based upon what you would spend. For many, working $8/hour barely meets that, if at all. I will...

    FDIC Friday - 2009

    Well...I don't see that this year unless all hell breaks loose over the next few months...but maybe over a 2-3 year span. Only because many now are much bigger then what it used to be. Still these bigger regional banks that do fail even when bought up just make someone else larger when they...

    Someone gets it. I too would see the same thing...and of course what gets kept a lot? The crap and junk food. No semblance or thought whatsoever. Enjoy because that's your life until something drastic happens to the wic program.

    1.8 million borrowers will lose their homes this year, up from 1.4 million last year

    Based on numbers from a couple of companies I see so far, there's some 2-3,000 homeowners behind/delinquent on their mortgage now in my county. Once you get delinquent (60-90 days), for many, it's over...just live for a few more months for free, then time to get foreclosed on. And there...

    As Expected: Dealers yet to see most Cash for Clunkers payments

    Apparently that memo wasn't sent out in the beginning...watch out for those car salesman! :D Funny you do mention that; I heard an ad from a local dealer today saying that they are applying the credit on some of their used cars (the 'slightly used' ones). They were also matching in the...

    What will happen to Big 3 after "cash for clunker" expires?

    already is, especially with the more popular models sold...production has to be 'ramped up' to meet 'demand' what happened to all the cars on the large lots and barges? :confused:
