Last thing I wanted was a default.Also to all those borrowers out there that think 70% or 75% LTV is enough cushion in a deal your dead wrong.. 95% of the time if a lender goes through a foreclosure action and only had that amount of equity they will Lose money on the disposition of the asset  ( ask me how I know) unless you happen to be in very HIGH value area and prices are going up up up... if your in a neutral market which most of the country is and depending if its a mortgage state or deed of trust state your going to suffer a loss..
