People whose unsustainable loans were modified during the crisis are again finding them to be unsustainable.

We were already in the midst of a housing crisis and this will make it far worse.

(Read all of the default notices, be able to trace the loan ownership and servicing as it passed through 5 years of financial crisis - who owned the loan when, who filed the notices, etc..)This is one of the tough parts about buying foreclosures.
