I havent read any books or articles on this situation. 

@Mark Miles Here's a section of an article that was published in the local newspaper in January of this year.

And I posted another article around the same time as this one about the Supreme Court deciding that it's okay for politicians to get large contributions from pretty much any source.

I think for Florida and many other area's, it's only half time.If this article (http://www.dsnews.com/articles/florida-courts-petition-for-nearly-10m-to-clear-foreclosure-backlog-2010-03-30) is to be believed, there are over 500K pending foreclosures in the Florida court system.If you add in the backlog of delinquent cases that haven't made it into the court system, strategic defaults, additional defaults from a record 12+% unemployment and 8+% underemployment, Option ARM reset, the end of the Fed MBS purchase (which could trigger interest rates to go up 250 basis points = less qualified buyers) and the end of the tax credit (why they would allow both of these to end at the same time puzzles me); I see a lot of hurting to come.

Per this article, the Consumer Product Safety Commission says homes with Chinese Drywall should be gutted.http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100402/ap_on_bi_ge/us_chinese_drywall

The Economic Times ran a front page article on Monday, May 23, 2011.

Numerous articles, speeches and even postings on BiggerPockets pop up with my name when searches for high yield mortgages. during this time I did not do any advertising, it has all been by referral, network, or website.
