A provocative paper by Brent White, a law professor at the University of Arizona, makes the case that borrowers are actually suffering from a “norm asymmetry.” In other words, they think they are obligated to repay their loans even if it is not in their financial interest to do so, while their lenders are free […]
“Reducing the loan’s principal balance is more valuable because it lowers monthly payments and restores equity. Various studies show that having equity also reduces the likelihood of redefault on a modified loan. It’s not just the moral thing to do.

FROM an unidentified researcher: Okay, So in all of my digging I have unearthed so many things I can’t start to explain it all but thought if I can save others the time and energy I most certainly will. So here is what I know so far and if others have info please share. Washington […]
OK I’m upping the ante here with some techno-speak. But I’ll try to make it as simple as possible. YIELD is the percentage or dollar return on investment. For example, if you buy a bond for $1,000 and the interest rate is 5%, the yield is 5%. You are expecting to receive $50 per year […]
