40 yr mortgage, interest only, ARM. It's the scourge I tell you! imho, only select situations call for such measures. But when mainstream families, single moms, etc use these to own, they are putting themselves at grave financial risk . Sure 5 yrs ago it would feel a lot safer. But after this huge runnup in prices , and int rates nowhere to go but up...upside down in a home , foreclosures and bk will become more commonplace. Careful out there!
The white man seeks to conquer nature, to bend it to his will and to use it wastefully until it is all gone and then he simply moves on, leaving the waste behind him and looking for new places to take. Chiksika (Kispokotha Shawnee),March 19,1779
