My wife and I have both worked in the banking industry for over 30 years now. What few people realize is that banking is one of the most heavily regulated industries in the country. The other thing that people don't realize about the mortgage side of banking is that banks were forced by the government to make loans to people who didn't qualify and couldn't pay them back. If you want to get to the root cause of the mortgage crisis, it is the government and not the banks. When it comes to lending money, the vast majority of banks are very conservative. They want to make loans to people and businesses that will actually pay the loans back as they make money off the interest payments. When forced to loan some high school dropout who is flipping burgers the money to buy a two bedroom house, they know they will most likely never get paid and the property will wind up in foreclosure.
you and the wifey obviously work in a small bank verses a Bank of America...
Actually.......you'd be surprised.
