 Foreclosure rates are still on the rise, leading some lenders to fail, and leaving millions of Americans without a home of their own. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac needed a "bail-out" of themselves from the government. The foreclosures are still occurring, with another wave about to begin in 2009.
Many of these will be Pay Option Arm borrowers. This is what is known as a Negative Amortization loan, something that has greatly increased in popularity over the course of the last five years. Don't be surprised if congress passes a bill to prevent these loans from being sold to unsuspecting borrowers in the near future.
