More Americans to buy homes with 3 percent down

This is great thinking.....they create the conditions causing Americans to lose their savings & their homes & then lower interest rates to convince them to spend money we still don’t have,in addition to creating interest rates on existing savings accounts that are so low they are virtually worthless. Barack’s plan seems to be moving forward nicely.

You said it all quite succintly.

Less than 20% down is criminal!!!!!

You have an interest for you and them of getting the deal done. Also respect your time.

If you’re getting bad pre-approvals you can have perspective buyers cross qualify with your lender you trust. Explain to them the benefit.

Many listing agents do this. I don’t like it because we have a good pre-approval process, but I understand the reason.

Best wishes.

This ain't "Barack's" plan. He's just the latest figurehead doing his part to help those really in charge achieve their long term goal --NAU.

After paying off the house we increased our 401k contribution. We had already had that money budgeted and so rather then increase our spending we just shifted over to pay ourselves. When the economy took a nose dive and the company I was working for started cutting back, I simply retired early. Could not have done that if the house had not been paid for.

TSR you are spot on with your photo. Wonder if fauxahontis, E. Warren, will comment on how the banks at the demand of the RATs are once again putting it to minorities.
