Jumping thru hoops....




2 individuals:
  • excellent credit scores
  • excellent payment history
  • have both owned homes (1 in the last 3 years, excellent payment history on properties)
  • employed
  • employed @ same employment for 5 & 15 yrs respectively
  • monies in investments
  • liquid monies in bank accounts
  • own a home of which has increased from 110K to 265K in real value (debt far below real value)
& how many more hoops shall we have to jump thru to get a refinance to repay our private lender?

If anyone out there is wondering why the economy has stalled....or why the housing market is not recovering, hopefully this has provided a bit of "real" insight. 
Scott & I just got done signing the same EXACT paperwork (20 pages each), that we signed Jan 20th so it would reflect a new date on it. 
6 months later, the house undeniably looks amazing, could be resold for 265K today, have made 6 timely payments to private lender....and it looks like more red tape to untangle, and lots more hoops before the folks that deserve a loan can get one.....

I can't imagine what opportunity people who are less fortunate than us will ever have to own their own home....the great American Dream...right?
