We are repeating all the things that caused the last crisis, giving money to people that cant pay it back, so dumb.

This.

Then the slightly more wealthy buy up the foreclosures and turn them into rentals. That always improves neighborhoods.

You'd still have to qualify for the loan right? Why would it make such a big difference compared to the 95% conventional and 97% (I think) fha options? Serious question.. I don't know much about a RD loan.

"It's not my fault I didn't read the fine print on my loan!!!! The banks are bad for telling me I can afford it!!! Don't take away my 6,000 sqft house!! I'm asking my manager at McDonalds for a raise tomorrow then maybe I can keep my mansion!!"

This. I went in to get a 30% of value loan for addition/renovation on a home that I own outright and was turned down because I own my own (successful) business. They couldn't "verify" income. Meanwhile, $40 thousandaires are getting $500,000 zero down interest only loans to buy homes three times what they should be buying. I told the mortgage lender that this was why there is trouble in the market. He had nothing to say.

Depends. My wife and I needed 100% when we bought our house but just refinanced on Friday. Worked out great for us but I'm allergic to debt and most people seem perfectly fine with spending beyond their means.

Show a little income on your tax returns. You cheat the gubment and you get stuck in this situation.

Edit to add. The mortgage crisis was deeply impacted by "no income verification" loans. All the successful business owners that claimed to make more than they actually did buying $500K homes.

Step 1: Wait for houses to inevitably foreclose.
Step 2: Buy cheap.
Step 3: ???
Step 4: Profit.

NINA: No income, NO asset verification up to 95% LTV at the height of the mortgage bubble. I don't remember what credit score was necessary, but I think it was around 680 or higher. Crazy.

It's only "St. George", Zachary, Baker, and other unincorporated areas. Houses inside the city limits does not qualify and there are income restrictions.

Did they just expand areas that qualify for Rural Development?
