Name: James Drake on Feb 20, 2009Comments: The example Mr. Obama provides in his written plan is certainly not at the core of housing problem. He provides a simple example of a person who bought are reasonably priced home, actually saved for a down payment, did not take out a home equity loan, etc. As I’m sure the administration knows, the real problem are not folks like this. The much larger problem are the millions of people who used their home as an ATM for the last 10 years. A much more common scenario is this: A person buys a home in 2000 in Riverside, CA (or Phoenix, Las Vegas, or Miami) for $300,000 with a $30,000 down payment. This person watches as their home prices doubles over the next four years and everybody on the block is buying new Cadillacs from GM, new coach purses, taking big vacations, buying new plaza TVs and of course new granite counter tops. How Home equity loans of course. So this buyer calls up a bank and says he wants to refinance and take some of the equity to “pay of credit card bills and improve the home”. He takes out a $500,000 loan on the same home that he paid $300,000 for a few years prior. The home price then falls back to the amount he paid a few short years ago, but he has a much larger loan. Everybody knows this is the much more common situation. Is this the “responsible family” that Obama wants to bail out with our tax money. If not, how does he prevent this from happening Will he encourage forced loan modifications in court so that this person once again only owes $270,000 (current value of home) and he gets to keep the Escalade, Plasma TV and fancy clothes bought with the home equity loanFlag
