Personally, I think the govt should do away with this program. I also think they should raise minimum FHA down payment requirements to 10%. Our government punishes savers and rewards the profligates. They should raise the interest rates so that prudent savers receive a return on their investment. Somewhere around 8 to 10 percent seems reasonable to me.
Even though the feds are turning a blind eye to medical pot shops and patients, Fresno leaders say they’re not. The city council recently adopted a new ordinance banning dispensaries.
I suspect the city council members only favor the Respectable Drugs, you know, the ones that the GOOD doctors give you:

Look here! Al Jazeera in reporting on Fresno. You might suspect that Al Jazeera’s reporting might have a political slant, but dont let that keep you from reading their news. Heck, I have them book marked. You can be certain that they are in better financial shape then the ever shrinking Fresno Bee and McClatchy.
The way things are going if news sources find themselves under water and have to sell, the arabs might be the only ones with money and INTEREST in purchasing them.
While there were fewer foreclosures in California last quarter (per previous post), nationwide they rose
RealtyTrac found that more than 925,000 borrowers received a foreclosure filing, which can range from a default notice to a bank repossession, between July and September. That is up 23 percent from the comparable period last year.
Let me preface this video with some banking 101. When you put 1,000 in the bank you have an ASSET on your books. But, when the bank has your $1000.00 it now has a LIABILITY = the bank is now liable to return your money with interest. What the bank does with your money is loan it out with interest. Once the bank loans out your money, the money lent then becomes an ASSET on the banks books. That is, the borrower is now LIABLE to pay back the bank with interest.
Imagine now loaning out money for these homes. It would not surprise me if the banks loaned out tens of thousands of dollars for these homes. Little wonder why the banks are not in a rush to foreclose on some of these homes.
