Investors Default On Outsize Share Of Home Loans

As one wonders how the housing crisis will affect sales of items like cars and other items, its interesting to note that in addition to subprime borrowers who should never have taken the mortgage in the first place because of lack of proper credit background, there are borrowers who were otherwise healthy but are in a financial bind because of house flipping or speculative buying in the hope of gaining from the speculative price increases. These are defaults on prime quality loans and about 21 to 32 percent of the prime quality loan defaults in California, Nevada, Arizona, and Florida are mortgages with homes not occupied by the owner. Note that Goldman Sachs estimates that housing prices will fall about 7% this year and another 7% next year. These estimates may change as the housing crisis deepens with more foreclosures on subprime and prime properties.
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
