RE: The Housing Bubble Is Cracking (Again). By Gregory Mannarino

in #money7 years ago

All I want to know is where the frick are they getting their money from to buy these houses? Or have banks gone down the self certified mortgage route again (self certified where you tell them your earnings without proof -happened in UK)

Beats me, I would assume that it's through Market gains since it's done nothing but rise into the largest bubble EVER. I also assume this due to the area that I'm in is a huge retirement area for the wealthy. With this being said I live among them in their neighborhood where the houses are being built and selling regularly as of late. With that being said, there are lots of places for the "servants" ie me and many others to live outside of these expensive neighborhoods but they're renting mostly. There are also quite a few neighborhoods that were starting to develop when I moved here in 07' for the "help" that have not been touched and remain unfinished to this day. I looked into these neighborhoods when trying to buy back then thinking I'd never be able to afford to be where I ended up and the difference in price then and now is majorly underwater for someone who bought back in 07'. I feel for those people. The people around me are heavily into the paper markets IMO and if it crashes they'll be in a world of hurt all over again just like the last crash.

I am a mortgage loan originator. They can get their loan from me. It is very difficult to get a mortgage right now. Income and assets documentation is very strict.
