Be very diplomatic and discreet in your approach.  

Saying "we didn't cause the crisis" isn't the issue at all, due to the melt down in mortgages, it's the big violators getting handcuffed, along the way they are simply saying.....oh, yes, this bunch, this is the best opportunity to curb the crap investors have been pulling too!

Lee, this guy is right on….read what he has to say about the mortgage crisis.

All "squatters" are not those walking on your land.Some do so by posting false or fraudulent liens in the property files of your County Clerk's land office.The majority of liens posted in many counties relative to "securitized mortgages" are questionable, if not fraudulent.Question the "squatters' rights" of any "interloper" to real estate closings where "pretender lenders" have insinuated themselves into closings concerning your homes.If your closing documents refer to MERS, or if "mortgage servicers" have filed "robo-signed" liens on your property, now is the time to take personal action to eliminate false claims against your interests.Send Truth In Lending Act (TILA) Rescission Letters to any and all who have at any time claimed an interest in your property... including the "pretender lenders", especially if they are the Too Big To Fail (TBTF) banks, MERS, and mortgage servicers like Ocwen or the TBTF banks own collections arms.These fraudulent liens (used to file wrongful foreclosures), create probable title clouds that are likely to permit previous homeowners to reclaim their properties from unwitting "investors".This reality is exactly why I will not acquire properties at foreclosure sales.... and why I seek farmland uncluttered by the Financial Crisis mess.There's more, but this link may open some eyes.https://deadlyclear.wordpress.com/2016/07/27/about-those-1099-and-other-tax-filings-from-servicers-and-banks/

I have posted else where that a major market crash could happen anytime if there is a currency crisis.

Given the seemingly very stringent regulations on lending following the financial crisis (which look set to get even tighter in 2014), I am wondering how I will be able to secure additional loans to get financing for future properties.

I also tried to purchase a 4-plex at the same time but the bank pulled out due to the banking credit crisis.

Bob,I'd look for a program created based on investing experiences in the 80s Savings and Loan crisis.

The biggest players in bad loans  that was the mortgage crisis were large banks and mortgage brokers, not builders and people seller financing mobile homes.

Hello,Does anyone here remember how the multi-family and small apartrment building prices were affected by the sub-prime mortgage crisis in 2008?
