The Other Real Estate Crisis

You said..." when the economy slows and threatens to go into recession, it's usually bad for all classes of real estate" Ahhh. did you see what happened with single family housing while the US economy (Stock markets) sputtered for 30 or so month's (2004 thru 2006) . HOUSING AND LENDING SOARED. Brokers and bankers alike bought cars and boat's and toy's and spent money in shopping centers and invested and HEY! WAIT A MINUTE! So, consumer housing and CDO / MBS may have carried the economy (somewhat) but your right! It now is evident it was thanks to fraudulent lending practices and predatory loan originations . www.borrowerhotline.com Maher Soliman Chief Compliance Officer

Not only was your article a little over the top with the gloom and doom, but I couldn't help but notice that you
took the opportunity to show your true colors and, totally unrelated to anything, take a poke at Bill Kristol. What was that all about?

Los Angeles 02/2008 DATELINE --- ACCORDING TO RECENT REPORTS, IT'S amazing how many homeowners will not fight the foreclsoure process. According to borrowerhotline .com, more than 70% of american homeowners accept their fate and eat the pain of a forclosure. This information is offered by Maher Soliman, the web site publisher and managing director for NLS.

According to the website, in June this year the secretary of Housing and Economic Development of the Patrick administration Dan O???Connell took the initiative along with government officials and top mortgage firms??? executives from Massachusetts to develop means through which foreclosure can be avoided and the foreclosure victims can be aided.

Delinquent Sub-prime loans were accentuated to be the main reason responsible for the soaring rise of foreclosure victims. Borrowers with bad credit history were allowed with high risk loans as they were tempted seeing the initial rates were low. The ravaging effect started when the rates of interest shot up unexpectedly high. Enactment of laws checking the foreclosure rates were suggested by Governor Deval L. Patrick.

In April in meeting called by the Patrick administration it was suggested that the State should financially help to refinance loans to reduce foreclosure rates.

Reforms aiming to help the debtors to catch up were planned and corresponding schemes were passed in 2006. The plan targeted to provide defaulting hose owners to catch up by extending the grace time from 60 to 125 days. Unfortunately the plan failed to go very far.

This article only discusses the names and numbers of retailers that are closing their doors or are in slow down mode. First, slow down mode for national retailers only means slower growth, it's not like they are haulting putting money into the econony. Secondly, there is no mention of the retailers all over the country that have shown aggresive expansion plans for certain markets. Many mid-box, big-box, and restaurants have seen strong numbers and are going to continue to expand. What hurts the economy are articles that show only the bad side of the economy like the residential housing market and the sub-prime loan market (even though today only 1% of non sub-prime loans are in default, what a horrific economy, less than 1%). Also, instead of taking a positive outlook on the economy or real estate in general, columnists, tv analysts, and the media portray our economy in ruins, when in reality the outlook for 2010 and beyond looks very positive. Arguements should be shown from both sides instead of clumping everything and everyone together as the same.
