Guess who sells the mortgages.
None other than Adam Swanda!
Some crowd Swanda signed the letter with.
Montello is a used car salesman
O’Brien is a lawyer.
But not one of them is a realtor.
I remember back when I was young that people didn’t refinance at the drop of a hat. I see alot of people these days consolidating loans (i.e. car loans etc..) into their mortgages. So when their car is gone it is still on that 30 to 40 year mortgage. It seems to me anyway that people are not as smart with their finances as they should be. I forsee alot more of forclosures comming down the pipeline. They should teach a class on living within your means.
