Posted by admin
raychels mom asked:

my boyfriend and i recently bought a new townhome. its not our dream house, but we wanted a starter home so we were not over our heads. we did LOTS of research on pricing and mortgage rates before we signed anything. i know that people dont buy starter homes like the used too and i was wondering if anyone else agrees that if alot of these homeowners had took the time to really investigate about sub prime lending would they not be in the mess they are in now?
