My problem is this–I end up losing the house because the property taxes have not been adjusted to the price paid for the house, and my lender will not finance the home because the taxes are too high. Pemco seems to do nothing to help, and my lender won't do anything but tell me to get another house. I am told I can go to the county tax assessor for a reassessment AFTER I buy a home–that's all well and good, but how do i get a home in the first place ?? This is a Georgia state wide problem, and not restricted to a few counties. What is a buyer to do ?? Many of the HUD forclosures come back up for auction several times, usually because the property taxes are too high and have not been adjusted to the selling price of the home.

Thanks for your comment. It's interesting, but there's a story in today's Wall Street Journal about how banks and mortgage lenders are starting to do riskier loans. With banks and lenders continuing to tighten standards, it's interesting to see some reach out to what might have been considered "less than desirable" consumers.

On the flip side, the government is trying to reach out to consumers who might ordinarily be shut out of a tight credit market by offering $100 down payment FHA specials.

These are two distinct trends worth watching.

Thanks for stopping by.
