It may be 6 months before a borrower may face foreclosure with the notices and delays now afforded, forget the ease of foreclosure in non-judicial states for now.The debt to income ratio of 43% does not apply in certain mortgages and your attorney had better be an ex-regulator or underwriter to understand the scope of prudent lending as it is not spelled out in statutes, certainly not taught in law school.

Savvy investors can help them not only do that but also grow their retirement accounts even in the face of what looks like looming financial disaster.
