FDIC pushes for mortgage help for the unemployed


CNN reports that the FDIC is requesting buyers of failed banks to give temporary relief to the unemployed. "The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. said on Friday it is encouraging certain banks to reduce mortgage payments for the unemployed or underemployed for at least six months."

"With more Americans suffering through unemployment or cuts in their paychecks, we believe it is crucial to offer a helping hand to avoid unnecessary and costly foreclosures," said Sheila Bair, FDIC chairman, who has led the efforts to have loan modifications be based on income.

  1. Every investor must start-up a plan before heading up on buying a property. Learning the basics of real estate is essential rather than visualizing the money aspect. Listen to skilled professionals like bankers, estate agents, home inspectors, etc., they most likely know the latest trend.
