And most will be able to pay the taxes when they come due, and put on a new roof, and put on a new coat of paint.As well as replace the carpets, cut the grass on a regular basis, replace the windows, reseal the chimneys when the liners crack, etc..It's unlikely that that these homes will fall into the slum category in 10 years or so, and make the asset underlying the loan virtually worthless.Or just vanish when the place starts to fall apart too much, due to no down-payment (no skin in the game 100% loans).Said the lawmakers who approved this.

You also have to deal with a bunch of tire-kickers who just waste your time.The rest are only worth advertising on via syndication as not really enough traffic to justify resources to manually add.Of course, this is for our Metro Detroit market, each market may vary somewhat.
