lol,
So the bankers are "protecting" their Property from thugs who may damage the "homes" while they lay vacant?
Oh thats a brilliant argument.
I mean, god forbid that the wise ones, the smart ones who have yet to buy in the "frenzy" of the run on homes, may think of buying the home under repo?
The home prices are falling regardless of what the "banks" do. As if the idiots that couldn't afford X are now going to be able to afford the Delayed X due to the "restructuring of the loan"? The false sense of "wealth" to lower ones mortgage payment and extend it 20 generations. Yea, thats how they roll HUH?

I am just saying that banks will try and keep foreclosed property off their books because that is what it is in their interest to do. It is very difficult to sell repo'd homes in a falling market and those falls in value have to be booked by the bank if it carroes the repo'd home on its balance sheet. That's all.
No asset witedown and no cash outlay if the home "owner" can service the loan enough that it can be classed as erforming. Banks have been known to make additional loans to corporates just so they can make a payment that revents the loan bein classed as non performing.
If the banks thought they could sell the foreclosed property today they would boot out the homeowner today, because if further down the road the homeowner stops paying they have to take a depreciated property onto their books. If they could sell today they would, but as they can't they are trying to delay. The fact that they are considering this scheme is a negative portent for the market. It has nothing do do with humanity or even ex college footballers getting on the 'phomne to them about being a patriot/team player.
