Or an “interest only” mortgage?</blockquote> Absolutely such products will be chosen intelligently. Businesses choose these things all the time. The only "difference" is (hopefully) the business has thought through the "whatif" scenarios and planned accordingly. My wife and I have bought several assets using loan products with balloon payments coming due in some point in the future. We've just made sure we've paid it off before the balloon comes due. Quite simple. (Of course, to do that, you have to make sure you plan and act accordingly). To take such products away, penalizes the prudent.

Some buyers have gotten mortgages that were 125% of the home sales price. Naturally they could walk and be out nothing. Wonder what others here as far as buying and how many have used those home equity loans to buy depreciating assets? Got my place back in '98 for 20% and 7 1/2% interest. Prices actually quadrupled in that time frame up until the past two years and have since sagged. The far left leaning local rag beats the drum about drastically sinking values, even when they are relatively small drops overall. I'd like to move, but then my taxes would soar for sure. With the homestead rules, my property taxes can only rise 3% annually and thus new neighbors are paying four times what I do.

At least the one report I specifically remember was referring to the vast numbers of condos in Miami being purchased by investors. I wonder now how many of these "investors" we will now be paying for their follies? Talk about illegal redistribution of finances!
