Quick Thoughts About The New Homeowners Assistance Program

Sarasota, Port Charlotte, Fort Myers, Cape Coral and Naples residents are being misled by the Obama Administration's Homeowners Assistance Program.

“Those that forget history are doomed to repeat it.”- Aristotle

-The government's new program to help homeowners creates an adjustable rate modification that starts with a low interest rate and then raises at the end of the modification period. Didn't adjustable rate mortgages help create this mess.

-Servicers who have constantly told homeowners that they have to be behind on their mortgage before they can help them and then ignore homeowners requests for help for weeks or months, get paid by the government to modify a loan despite the fact that they have not spent any money funding the loans .
