Participant[quote=recordsclerk]It’s not the upgrades as much as the type of flexible lending in flipped homes. Most buyers/1st time buyers in the under $400K market have marginal down payments and want a finished home they can just make payments on. Foreclosures and Short Sales usually only offer conventional lending and are missing out on large portion of buyers. That’s why the FHA/VA buyers gravitate towards the flipped homes. If you don’t have the money for a conventional loan, you won’t have the money to re-model after the purchase. This is how flippers are making a living. People like convenience and are willing to over pay for the service. There are a lot of concessions (down payment assistance, closing cost) that are not seen or recorded on a flip sale. The best deals are short sales, followed by foreclosures in today’s market.[/quote]
Agreed. Flippers are making money because buyers are financing the “upgrades” and flipper profits over 30 years.

What happens if the Tea Party is successful at eliminating government support of the mortgage market?
[/quote]If the Tea Party can do that they will have served at least one useful purpose. I’d like to see all government support of the mortgage market eliminated. I don’t see why my tax money should be used to help someone buy an overpriced house.[/quote]
Agreed, with the possible exception of the government backing mortgage loans for a **single, primary residence** only, and even then, there should be a minimum 20% down payment requirement, and 28/33% DTI ratios on fully-verified income, at most.

The deal the ninaprincess posted looks like a substantially better deal than this one.
recordsclerk is on to something about buyers willing to take the path of least resistence, and overpay for the privilege of a turnkey house with low downpayments.
I believe that there’s a danger of low-wherewithal buyers not being able to hold-on if we have a double-dip recession. If the economy takes a turn for the worse, we could see another wave of foreclosures.[/quote]
It’s guaranteed, especially with all the 3.5% FHA mortgages that have been doled out in recent years.
Taxpayers are 100% on the hook now, though. And that’s what really sucks with all the bailouts. The losses are still very much in the future.
