Here is an example:
Most homes where I live were built in the last 3-5 years.. Some people had ARMS that were gonna readjust some people had traditional 30 yr mortgages.. most people made the payments for 1-5 years...
So lets just assume that the average house was 400k..
JOE and family made 2 years of payments at 3k a month totaling 72,000.. Now JOE is in foreclosure..
Bank Forecloses on house.. Puts house up for sale for 350k to 375k... dropped 50k off the price..
FRED comes along and buys this BARGAIN for 350K
Banks net profit after foreclosure (not including foreclosure costs etc)
$22k
AND WE JUST GAVE THESE PRICKS 700 BILLION DOLLARS???
