Well, it looks as though the blame game has come full circle.

When the subprime meltdown first hit, mortgage brokers, loan officers and all those involved in creating loans for consumers were under thumb. Unscrupulous professionals, just out to make as much money as possible by writing loans for people who couldn't afford them - and with fees that would make your head spin (or buy you a new boat). Without a doubt, the industry was responsible for the mess.

Wait a minute though, what about those home buyers? The industry professionals were just doing their jobs. John and Sally Consumer knew they had no business taking interest only loans for a house they had no chance of affording. Common sense - not a realtor or a loan officer - should have prevailed and said no, you can't buy your dream home, you can't even come close to affording it. The Government even jumped on the band-wagon, stating it wasn't their responsibility to bail out consumers who made bad decisions. Come on, understanding the mortgage process, and all that goes along with it, the stress, the paperwork, the points - well it's easy stuff - shame on all you consumers for having a dream.

And then there's the greed of The Street, and the endless stream of money poured into mortgage-backed securities. Without these funds, this problem would have never happened, right?

So we are we now? Well, back on Capitol Hill. Maybe Big Brother should have been watching a little closer all along, and this problem would never have happened. That's right, experts (a term that always makes me laugh) have settled on blaming poor regulation for the US meltdown crisis.

There's still time to blame though! With the amount of loans re-setting over the next few years, I'm sure there's still mud out there that needs to be slung.

Have a great week!

P.S. If you haven't taken advantage of our year end customer appreciation special, please give me a call so I can walk you through the details.
