60 Year Loan as a solution to our Mortgage Crisis!
Hello fellow Americans. We have been hearing a lot of talk about the government “bail out” of the mortgage market as a solution to this current financial crisis. I’ve got a better idea, give the people who are in crappy ARM’s that they can’t afford the option of a gov’ment secured 60 year mortgage (at the prevailing interest rate)! This will lower their mortgage to a manageable amount of money each month with the hopes that in another 7-10 years the prices of homes will go back up and then they can sell for a profit or at least what they owe on the home… Also, make the 60 year mortgage “assumable” so another person can buy the home if the person just wants out entirely… As an “incentive” for taking on this 60 year loan - for the new person that wants to buy the distressed property - throw them a “bone” of only having to come up with like 3% down or something - since they are taking a risk by purchasing this home and will have to stay in this house for another 7-10 years lets say, until the housing prices come back up again!
I am a real estate agent in Laguna Woods, Calif. (www.leisureworldre.com) so I know a bit about the mortgage market and how it works.
I am so surprised the “big wigs” in Washington have not thought of this idea. Don’t “dismiss” the bad debt, keep it until prices rise again and then nobody looses!! Shout it from the roof tops fellow Americans and pass this Blog entry around the Internet!
