Hey, Is It Cheaper To Buy Foreclosures or Government Tax Properties?? I am new to this so please correct me if I am wrong here: 1. Foreclosure properties are sold by institutions such as banks when someone defaults (fails to pay) on the loan. They can be dirt cheap or still pretty pricey depending on how much of the loan had been paid off. 2. Foreclosures are not the same as Government Tax Properties. 3) What are Government Tax Properties? Do they cost as low as 300 bucks? And do you own the entire property after just paying 300 bucks - or whatever the cost is? That seems too cheap that I feel it is a scam. 4) Any other cheap ways of buying properties?

What do think the Mortgage Lenders and the Government will do about the rising defaults and foreclosures? They have to do something about this otherwise more defaults are going to happen. Do you think they are going to create some breaks on mortgage financing, such as lowering rates and offering 50 year fixed loans, so many people are able to afford the payments. Or are they just going to let more borrowers go into foreclosure? If this continues to happen, we may see a depression coming in the near future.

However If there isnt a catch how do i get started.

US government foreclosure auction- just pay off the default balance and no auction process? There is a house up for formal auction through the US marshals office next Friday. The government's starting bid is $33,556 on this house. Would an interested buyer be allowed to just pay this $33,556 balance off to the government instead of going through the whole auction process? It just makes sense for the interested buyer to buy the house if all the government wants is the $33,556.

Aren't most foreclosures those of expensive houses? Why should the government be buying expensive houses? Why should our government be bailing out the builders and mortgage investors who built these mansions? What about the rest of us who did not buy more than we could afford? Where is our reward?

Do you think that government should help all people forcing foreclosures? ? If they were irresponsible enough to buy a house that they can't afford why should i pay for it now.

And now responsible people have to pay for the mistakes of irresponsible ones now?

More foreclosures, layoffs, shutdowns? Expect the government to take care of you? Can you hunt, fish and camp out and forage for food? Got tents and equipment? Hope you are strong and healthy because there will be no funding for anything but first aid health care. Better get off that couch and start preparing, my friend. The numbers don't lie but the politicians and mainstream media will lie until the sheet hits the fan. Study the facts, study the numbers, and face the reality. It is coming at you, my friend. Use this final time to try and make yourself and family ready.

Would it be illegal for government to prevent foreclosures? A house on my block burned two nights ago -- about 16 hours before the owners/buyers were to be evicted under a foreclosure order. They're in custody now for alleged arson [the fire was fueled by gasoline]. This and similar stories attest to how much families and individuals feel that they own their home -- "a man's home is his castle" -- and that they should not ever be forced to leave. Thus, we've been hearing cries to Congress to make foreclosures either illegal or to prevent them for 90 days, etc. *** In part, Amendment 5 to the Constitution of the United States reads ".... nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation." If Congress makes a law which limits the rights of the loan holders to foreclose, or requires them to delay and thus lose even more money, would that not be a taking of their property right in the loan contract without compensation? Could the loan holders then successfully sue the government for damages and thus force their losses onto us taxpayers? *** If you disagree, please make a reasonable legal argument as to why either this clause in the Bill of Rights does not apply, or that the amount of compensation so due is zero. [Note: the Supreme Court has already ruled that rights under a private contract are 'property', so the argument that the Constitutional clause only applies to real estate will not pass muster.]

Does anyone know about the $7000 US Government Foreclosure Tax Credit, or when it will be passed?

Foreclosures -- What the Government should do? The Government should make a law or bill that states that all foreclosures MUST stop for a period of 3 years, this will keep people in their homes and it will force the lenders to listen to the borrowers! As in agreeing to do loan modifications that people can afford, that way people are no longer being foreclosed on and the blood sucking mortgage companys still get their money (over time) Because right now if you are late on your mortgage and you try to ask your lender for help they will not listen to you nor will they even try to give you alternatives of any kind (trust me I know this first hand) The Government could add that if a lender continues to not try to work with a borrower then that lender would be penalized in some way. If the Government came up with this type of bill, then it wouldn't cost taxpayers any money, Unlike the bill they have now which is costing 7 Billion dollars!! And this money is only helping the mortgage companies its not helping people stay in their homes. Its only bailing out Fannie and Freddie and some others. Anyways, if any of you have any comments on what I wrote please feel free to Email me at: truevineyard@aol.com

Should the government bail people out on foreclosure? I have been paying for my house and several people on the block are going into foreclosure. I feel for them, but I don't think it is right that any president should give handouts for people to keep their house. If that is the case, I want a "government rebate" on my house so I can buy another house. Government handouts for people to save their house is what one candidate is running on. Something smells wrong.

can the Government buy all foreclosure homes? Is it possible for the government to buy all foreclosure homes and resell them to the owners who are at risk with a small interest rate? They would buy all homes in foreclosure up to a specific month, after confronting that task they would force banks, brokers and loan officers to fix the loop holes and the issues thats cause the crisis in the first place...I think they should also enforce a new home owner class where own owners would learn to manage their funds, what they should avoid etc. I know thats a big task but thats a serious step...

We're on a thin line of losing our house, both of our income has changed and despite desperate efforts (cutting out all unnecessary expenses) we're still in a hole.

Should the government get in the mortgage business, like it is in the student loan business? Because that is in effect, what might be the end result of this bailout. Why couldn't the government just make (foreclosure-proof) home loans to everyone, regardless of whether they can repay them? This should appeal to liberals; after all, the greedy rich CEO's who caused the financial crisis would be taken out of the equation.

Why do people feel they need the government to bailed them out of a foreclosure? I have never lived beyond my means. I pay my bills on time including my mortgage. I have 3 neighbors who let their house go into foreclosure and yet they all drive the newest cars and have toys like boats and jet ski's. And by the way they just got back from vacation in Hawaii. I think the government should reward homeowners who pay their taxes and mortgages on time. And don't try to tell me these people were conned by loan companies. They knew exactly what they were getting into.

Why is the government so eager to help homeowners in foreclosure, but not renters in eviction? There has been so much talk about helping homeowners who are in foreclosure, but no one discusses renters who are facing eviction. I think there are as many if not more Americans facing eviction than foreclosure. Don't they count? Why is this and what can I do to draw the governments attention to this issue?

What is the best search for newly filed foreclosures and bankruptcies ..HOW? We want to search newly filed foreclosures and bankruptcies so we don't spend months working on a property only to discover we've wasted not only our time and money, but perhaps others as well. We're told there is a free public records site through State Government where we can monitor foreclosure and bankruptcy filings, but I can't seem to track it down. If you know how to do this search I would greatly appreciate a heads up on it. THANKS

how do i get a government grant to help save my house from foreclosure?

How much responsonsibility should the government take? It appears that more people are looking to government for assistance for everything under the sun. Anything from foreclosures to health insurance. Why aren't we self sufficient? I'm absolutely happy with my income, and I should NOT be entitled to help someone who carelessly reproduce, and decide not to invest in themselves, obtaining a higher education. And for those who obtained a higher education, did you really think that underwater basket weaving would pay off the 40k in student loans you racked up? The US has provided so much for early success. Where I'm originally from, EVERYONE pays for school, text books, calculators, computers, uniform, school food AND transportation. The basics are taken care of here, so why haven't we taken full advantage of that? Why aren't we successful enough to be able to survive without so much gov't aid? How socialist will we become? I'm not expecting to be liked for these questions, and I'm expecting a lot of answers from the ignorant, so fire away

can I purchase a foreclosure or government seized home with a F.H.A. loan?

Do you really need title insurance on a foreclosed house? For example HUD recommends that a buyer of the HUD foreclose gets a title insurance. Why? Isn’t that redundant? Also, I know some lenders that require buyers to get a title insurance on a government foreclosure. I understand that on bank foreclosure it is necessary to have title insurance. But why on a government foreclosure? My understanding was that all the lens are dropped when you buy a government foreclosure.

Which candidate will give you this shopping list: an immediate end to the war in Iraq, government funded healt care, legalized/recognized gay marriage, instant bail outs for housing foreclosures, indefinitely extended unemployment benefits, and closure of all military recruitment stations?

The real problem with the foreclosures in the US? To me the real problem is not the mortgage companies willingness to deal out excessive loans it's Americans accepting loans that they can not afford. And now they are whinning to the government to bail them out of their financial mistakes. How about lets hold these people responsible for their actions instead of giving them a free pass. Your comments.

Is it possible to get a security clearance for government employment if you have a recent foreclosure? I was laid-off of my job by Wachovia over a year ago and had the foreclosure in September of this year. Wachovia was also the lien holder that did the foreclosure.

Do you support providing government assistance to people who cannot pay their mortgage? Creative financing in the past two+ years allowed financial institutions to give individuals who wouldn't normally be approved for a mortgage (because of poor credit history and/or unstable employment record), a subprime mortgage. Today, 730,000 of these individuals are not paying their mortgage payments and are facing foreclosure. Countless others are struggling and don't know if they will be able to maintain their payments and keep their homes. The House approved the "Expanding American Homeownership Act of 2007" that will give the Federal Housing Administration the authority to assist struggling homeowners in making their mortgage payments. Should the taxpayer be responsible? If the individual doesn't receive assistance and loses their home, will the government (the taxpayer) have to provide some other form of financial assistance that would, in the long run, be equal to what is spent to help them pay their mortgage?

Should the government help people at the brink of foreclosure? This includes those who availed of liar loans or mortgages without income verification. Let's also include the so called "get rich quick flippers/investors" who were caught in the trap.

If you already foreclosed and the government tells you tough luck, would you go crazy?

How do foreclosures work? My mothers house is about to be taken by the government. She is medicaid/medicare & has been put in a nursing home. If we don't sell the house the government steps in & takes it over. Assuming they will do the foreclosure on, how long could that take?

Would it be wise for the government to bail out those stupid people that took advantage of sub prime loans? Would it be wise for the government to bail out those stupid people that took advantage of sub prime loans? I believe you are responsible for your own choices and you should pay the price for your decisions Last Friday the U.S. Federal Reserve cut the rate at which it makes direct loans to banks, sending a signal to Wall Street that it is aware of the credit contraction that has hit global financial markets. At the same time, the Fed wisely refrained from lowering its target federal-funds rate, through which it controls monetary policy, although Fed officials have indicated that a cut could be in the offing if markets don’t stabilize soon. The Bush administration has also demonstrated admirable restraint, resisting calls to let troubled mortgage buyers Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac charge into the market and increase their holdings. Demagogic politicians (and frantic investors) have shown less self-control, and the inevitable pressure to “do something” is bound to intensify. The administration and the Fed should resist this pressure. For one thing, the current crisis is unlikely to affect the economy in any significant way. As that becomes clearer, the hysteria will subside. For another, it is necessary that those lenders, borrowers, and investors who created the sub-prime mortgage mess bear its consequences. What we are seeing now is a necessary market correction. Several years of poor lending and borrowing decisions in the sub-prime mortgage market have resulted in a large increase in the number of foreclosures this year. Accordingly, Wall Street is reevaluating the credit quality of billions of dollars worth of mortgage-backed securities. Having found many to be overvalued, the market is making the necessary adjustments: Lenders are making fewer risky loans. Some of the biggest, such as Countrywide Financial, have tapped large lines of credit to cover short-term borrowing needs, announced layoffs, and instituted other cost-cutting measures. A few hedge funds have imploded, and a few more are in deep trouble. This is because these lightly regulated funds typically leverage their bets with billions in borrowed money, compounding their losses when risky investments — such as sub-prime mortgage debt — turn sour. Some of Wall Street’s biggest credit-ratings firms have taken a well-deserved hit in the press for giving many securities backed by sub-prime mortgage debt higher ratings than they actually deserved. The next chapter for them could be investigations into whether they fraudulently manipulated their valuations. Several members of Congress and some ’08 Democratic candidates have argued that these market adjustments are not enough and that we need additional layers of regulation. Back in February, when the crisis began in earnest, John Edwards attacked “predatory” lending practices and proposed a new government agency to regulate mortgage lenders (in addition to the five that already exist). Of course, that was before the Wall Street Journal revealed that a hedge fund Edwards invested in and worked for had ties to sub-prime lenders that had foreclosed on Hurricane Katrina victims. In fact, sub-prime lending is not an unmitigated evil. The advent of sub-prime lending brought about a fairly dramatic increase in U.S. home ownership, which for decades hovered around 64 percent until shooting up to 69 percent between 1994 and 2004. To be sure, unscrupulous players entered the market as sub-prime lending became more profitable, and some of them hid the true cost of risky loans from naïve borrowers. But borrowers were often complicit, wildly overstating their incomes to qualify for loans they could not afford. The New York Times reported in March that these “liar loans accounted for 40 percent of the sub-prime mortgage issuance last year, up from 25 percent in 2001.” Hillary Clinton has proposed a $1 billion federal bailout to help such borrowers avoid foreclosure. And her fellow New York senator, Chuck Schumer, has joined her in calling for a wider role for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in stabilizing the mortgage markets. The Bush administration has correctly decided not to remove the limits on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac that were put into place last year when investigators discovered that both institutions had engaged in significant accounting irregularities. Fannie Mae officials argue that they can provide badly needed liquidity to the mortgage market. But as economist Brian Wesbury pointed out Monday, liquidity is not the real issue. The issue is a lack of information — no one seems to know how much these mortgages are really worth. The best thing the government can do is stay out of the way while the market reprices these securities. That goes for the Fed, too. The Fed has hinted that it might cut the federal-funds rate if the market continues to slide. In the esoteric world of Fed policy, where words can affect the markets as much as action, this was the right thing to say. But it wouldn’t be the right thing to do. Fed chairman Ben Bernanke’s shrewd move to cut the discount rate instead of the more consequential federal-funds rate calmed panicky investors without interfering with the market adjustment already underway. By cutting only the rate that the Fed charges on its own loans, Bernanke offered a lifeline to big institutions in dire financial straits, and bought more time for the market to correct itself without a change in monetary policy. Demagogues in Congress and on the campaign trail should learn a lesson here. Lenders, hedge funds, ratings firms, and, yes, foolhardy borrowers are paying a price for their excesses. Let’s not compound their folly by enacting a poorly thought-out policy.

House to spend $15 billion to buy and fix up foreclosures? Isn't this OUR job? Foreclosures a good way for lower income families to buy a home, a boon to a lagging economy, a way for some of us to invest in our future. Why is government getting involved?
