12/03/08 - News of the Day

If you haven't completed the Countrywide REO survey - please make sure you complete it by 5:00 p.m. this Friday by following the link that was included in my e-mail on Tuesday. We've received some very helpful feedback so far. We appreciate your input!


Wall Street Journal reported on the difficulty the self-employed have in getting mortgages on Tuesday.

Stated income loans have been eliminated in many cases. Jumbo mortgage market has tightened with emphasis on FHA loans instead and higher interest rates.
