Because of easy credit over the last few years, more and more home owners have been lured into excessive debt. Most of them got numerous credit cards, ran up their limits and then used their home as an ATM, by means of refinancing to pay off their credit card debt.

This home was listed without the air unit as it been stolen before the home was listed as well as being spray painted by kids.( an assumption on my part).

MMRecap for July 20 U.S. Treasuries were trounced early last week due to better-than-expected quarterly reports, good economic news and some faint signs of inflation on the horizon. On Friday, July 10, the yield on the benchmark 10-year note closed at 3.30%; that is a seven-week low.  By last Wednesday it had jumped 33 basis points.  And mortgage rates, which were poised to drop sharply because they move with the 10-year yield, were stopped in their tracks.
