wonder how many idiots chose an ARM?
Throw in inflation and this is going to be a wild ride
I'll never forget when I 1st moved to Sarasota in late '04 when I worked with RBC Centura Bank. I became friends with one of the mortgage lenders. Every now and then we'd go to lunch. Our bank had this ARM product that was sort of an 80/20 wrap-around loan that would fund 100% but split it to where 20% satisfied the PMI....or something like that. To qualify, you had to have a 650 mid-score between the 3 credit bureaus and a stated income statement. That's all. No wonder it all went down like a turd in a 40 ft. well.
