My apologies for implying I knew. I don’t know. I don’t know how may have refinanced. I meant it as an issue to ponder rather than stating my conviction.
No, I don’t know the number of homes refinanced since the original foreclosure crisis with the Option ARMs. I just recall the massive amount of Alt-As due to finance in 10/11 with Wave II and remember vaguely hearing it may not be as bad as Wave I because many of those had good credit and could refinance, while most of the Option ARM borrowers in Wave I had bad credit, were upside-down on loans with no chance to refinance.
No, please I don’t mean to say a lot have been refinanced. I still think most haven’t. I simply said, if there isn’t a big Wave II, I won’t be SHOCKED, because it was my impression many had refinanced. Certainly, if there is a big Wave II foreclosure crisis in residential housing, that won’t shock me either.
I still have lots of famiy there (none with ARMS) and friends there in the morgage industry who are wise beyond their years. There is a boom coming and its not the kind that everyone is going to like.
Please read the articles I liked, it is just the tip of the iceberg that "finanical" writers are willing to touch and write about. The ones they "talk" about and dont write about are the really, really dark, gloomy and disturbing ones. And that's just CA. TN, FL, AZ, CO and NV are all lumped into the boat but often overlooked.
FReep on my Friend and see you on the boards.
