9.6 Million "Rainy Day" Dollars Allocated To Flush Away Florida's Foreclosure Backlog... By 62%

It may not come as much of a surprise that the state of Florida is being impacted in a major way by a foreclosure crisis the likes of which it has never seen before. After all, it was one of the states that most benefited from the home building boom that fueled rising home prices and encouraged investors to purchase real estate using risky mortgages.

Homeowners are getting slammed in Ohio with fraudulent filings (judicial foreclosure state).

Homeowner's Insurance Law Benefits Homeowners

Have you noticed that your homeowner's insurance policy is not in line with the current value of your home? I am not referring to the assessed value here.

Foreclosures soar in Mass. in July

More than 1,200 Massachusetts homeowners lost their properties to foreclosure in July as the sluggish economy and high unemployment keep pushing the number of homes taken back by lenders toward what could be a record high this year.
“Homeowners are still under duress, and the market isn’t getting any better,’’ said Vincent M. Valvo, editor-in-chief of the industry publication Banker & Tradesman. “We are likely to see increasing foreclosure activity for the next few months.’’
