How much further will the SD market go down.

“… One could have a high LTV loan in which the payment is 28% or so of one’s income and qualify based on traditional lending standards. Fast-forward a few years when prices come down in line with incomes.
Do you not think that at some point in the next few years that housing prices will revert to being somewhat affordable ?”

You guys still don’t understand the Deflationary perspective do you? Nope.

You keep presuming that the private lending standards are going to remain the same going forward. I am making the opposite assumption due to my Deflationary perspective on the economy and money supply going forward for the next several years. I believe that credit will become much tighter than it is right now because there will continue to be mortgage lenders and banks and even some credit unions that will bite the dust over the next few years as they write down their portfolios to market value and their solvency issues run their natural courses.

Low LTV loans also don’t account for enough risk in the loans either and lenders will revert back to more conservative standards.

However, if the Govt becomes the primary source for lending as many seem to think is going happen since it may become too risky for private lenders to continue to thrive as they have been, then all bets are off….at that point we are in really deep shit.

Let’s look at a smaller program that parallels the mortgage industry the Student Loan Industry. Right now 3 companies in San Diego have shut their doors. Ted Kennedy promised that the increase in Pell grant money would not cost the american public a dollar. They would take 20 billion from Private lenders and there would be no response. Right now they are using tax payer money to fund guaranteeing agencies as FFELP Lenders exit the origination side of student lending. Previous discounts for auto pay and on time payments have been eliminated. There fore the cost ofthese loansis not less but more.

The student loan industry is about 90 billion so it is really chump change compared to the mortgage industry but there appears to be movement in the same direction.

I would expect to see many lenders exit the originatin side and I would expect incompetency and laziness to funnel its way into government burocracy.

This has all been fairly well orchestrated by the Democratic Party in an effort to consolidate student lending into the Direct Loan Program. It is suppose to cost us less but in realiy is going to cost student and taxpayers far more.
