    I prefer the 2000s where Banks didn't require documentation of income.

    It's not that dissimilar from a VA loan. The borrower still has to meet basic creditworthiness requirements, have a demonstrated income and ability to pay the note, and is limited to ~$170,000, and geographically to Detroit and Flint where you can buy a home for less than $80,000. . I don't see too many people getting in over their heads with this one.

    When you got no one else to sell to, start giving it away for free*

    I’m sure those with low income and zero assets will be fine when their 70 year old house blows a furnace, or plumbing goes, or the roof...

    Ever hear the term “ catch a falling knife”?

    Agree, these lenders (and buyers) are assuming a fair amount of risk. But much of eastern Michigan is really underpriced right now, and is starting to make a comeback. This could be a big money maker for a lot of people. Or not. Either way it will be interesting.

    Underpriced compared with what, exactly. Cities with jobs and a perceived future? Cities with actual jobs that earn qualifying incomes?

    If these houses were such a great fucking deal of a lifetime, Hedge funds, Pensions, Private equity and foreign buyers would be snatching them up Without Government assistance. (FDIC, etc.)

    Instead, Flagstar’s program lets poor people buy at top of the market pricing FROM Hedge funds, Pension funds, Private eq, etc.

    This is true. There was a spirited battle for the repos in California. And still is
