anyone else smell Bushit ?

There are a couple of house in my neighborhood that were sold to some of those rent-to-own people that should never gotten a loan.
ZERO down with ARM mortgage on 120% of value. Guess what....6 months down the road they are already 3 months behind in their payments, they have trashed the place and they can't figure out why the big bad finance company is throwing them out.
When I sold my house in Siver Springs, I put that money down on this place so my payments would be really reasonable. I have 1 more car payment and then I will only have the house payment.
My older brother bought 5 acres north of Cincinnati, designed and built a huge garage, built the house, panel by panel, in the garage and then erected the house. It took 6 years to do it, dealing with his kids and the grandkids, watching over my parents, etc. By the time it was done, the increase in the value of the land alone almost covered what he had in the house and garage. And it is paid for!
