That is less than 5%, closer to 2-3%. <BR/><BR/>There is concern that the 2/28 ARM might cause problems as when people try to refinance they can no longer qualify for a new loan unless they come up with some more cash. The house was worth less than when they began and some will not be able to afford the downpayment to refi. The newer interest rates on subprimes were above 8%. Any downturn in the economy or change in job status might make difficult payments impossible. Others had done cash outs and are mortgaged to the max, instead of having paid down their mortgages and having lower payments compared to income later in life, they owed more than when they first bought the house. Cashout bought jacuzzis are not the same as money in the bank when times get rough. There was a time when that new addition could not be sold for what was spent to build it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-1164675902776526752006-11-28T01:05:00.000+00:002006-11-28T01:05:00.000+00:00Obviously you're "masturbating to armageddon" agai...Obviously you're "masturbating to armageddon" again...<BR/><BR/>And I guess Schiller caught someone 'strokin' it'...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-1164673223703292122006-11-28T00:20:00.001+00:002006-11-28T00:20:00.001+00:00Americans don't want dollars, so why should anyone...Americans don't want dollars, so why should anyone else in the world?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-1164673206671405902006-11-28T00:20:00.000+00:002006-11-28T00:20:00.000+00:00Honica, if the jews pull the plug on the dollar wh...Honica, if the jews pull the plug on the dollar where will they get the funds to fight palestinians?foxwoodliefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09348399460824769686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-1164670093543713032006-11-27T23:28:00.000+00:002006-11-27T23:28:00.000+00:00Yeah, I gotta question..........
