#2 If the monthyly payment is too large, you could redo the loan for a longer period. Say, $500/month for a million years.

#5 Besoeker: Are we sure that's ZimBob's wife? She looks like Michele Oblahblah -- I'd recognize that scowl anywhere -- and who's the dude in the turban next to her?

#9 So what part of "it's not yours until you've finished paying for it" do they not understand? Maybe Acorn could finance it and she could make payments to them.

#10 The part where they have to pay for things they want, Deacon.

They don't understand that at all. But that's okay - Obama's gonna pay their mortgage and Obaman's gonna pay their gas.

#11 I don't know if this is true, but fwiw:

Thought you might be interested in some REAL information related to this Baltimore foreclosure; Donna Hanks initially purchased her home (315 South Ellwood, Baltimore, MD 21224) on 7/06/2001 for $87,000. At some date between 2001 and 2006 she re-financed the original mortgage for the amount of $270,000 with a mortgage payment of $1,662.00. The FIRST foreclosure on this home was filed 5/31/2006. Donna Hanks filed for bankruptcy 6/16/06 during which a payment plan was approved for the $10,500 she was behind in her payments. This action stopped the original foreclosure. When she did not meet the terms of the bankruptcy re-payment, a second foreclosure action was started in January 2008. At the time she had not made her mortgage payments since September 2007. It should be noted that her salary per the bankruptcy paperwork was $1625 per month and she was working a 2nd and 3rd job (supposedly giving her an additional $1,275 in monthly income - the employers were not listed). Over extended? Also, during 2007 she was renting our her basement illegally (she was taken to court) and receiving rent while she was not making her mortgage payments. The mortgage company raised her payment $300 a month - right? Well, not exactly it was $340. The amount that she had agreed to pay back in arrears. Not exactly truthful, but what I would expect from a person with her criminal record (theft and assault 2nd degree and possession of a dangerous weapon with intent to injure). Oh and there is the small matter of breaking and entering. The house at 315 South Ellwood had already been sold at auction on 6/26/08 for $192,000. It just took them until September 2008 to get her out. Nothing like public information - it seems Acorn could have found this same information before they helped this poor victimized woman

Google is freakin' amazing.
