Question about PMI insurance. I did a refi last ...
By: snoopy52 | 19-06-2008
Question about PMI insurance. I did a refi last year and now I am going through a divorce. Neither of us can afford payments on the home by ourselves and renting or getting roomates is out of the question. When we did the refi, we did the typical american thing of max out the equity and then blow it on a big vacation. Problem is the loan is for 275k and with the housing market the way it is, the home is currently only worth 250k and if we are lucky, we might get 260k out of it. When we did the refi, we got a loan with PMI built into the rate. From what I have heard, if we just let it go to foreclosure, the house will go to auction eventually and we will be responsible for the difference between the loan amount and the amount the home sold for. My question is, doesn't the PMI take care of this?

Why Buying Smaller is Better
By: Keith Cook | 15/10/2008
However, the fact remains that many of these foreclosures come from people taking out huge adjustable mortgages on huge homes with an inadequate income to deal with the interest. Once the interest rates changed, those people could not hope to afford the payments. It could all have been avoided with the purchase of a more modest home and a fixed-rate mortgage.

What Makes a "green" Home?
By: Karrie Rose | 07/07/2008 | Real Estate
While "green" has become quite the buzzword when it comes to home building and design, what exactly it means isn't always clear. There are a few standards for eco-friendly homes, but the term "green" doesn't have a universal definition beyond being a color made by mixing yellow and blue. So how does a consumer know when a home the builder is calling "green" is actually built with an ecological focus, or at least enough of one to justify its price?
