If you’re smart you can go ahead and clear your first mortgage in advance and then settle for a second mortgage.

The Fall of the Housing Market

Some say that the current economic crisis that we are in can be traced to the fall of the housing market. Not too long ago the housing market was booming, and everybody seemed to want a piece of the pie. The housing market seemed to be a golden opportunity to make a small fortune in a short amount of time. But alas as the old saying goes, what goes up must come down. Who could have known that it would come down so hard and have such an impact. Why the fall of the housing market? In my opinion, one of the major reasons for the crash was just good old supply and demand economics. When the market was going strong, many came into the game; wanting a piece of the action, also builders continued to build adding to a large inventory of houses. The houses being built were rapidly exceeding the number of houses being sold, the demand was weakening. This I believe was aided by people buying homes as an investment to flip for a profit, adjustable rate loans with a teaser rate, and banks exercising bad lending practices.
