Of course I predicted this in July 2012, and guys like 48laws were quick to point out that the mortgage insurance would save FHA as a "buffer", as you can see, he was horribly wrong. 
But I guess we all have to pay for it since guys like 48laws who thought 3.5% down was a smart mortgage decision are now dumping their bad financial decision on all of us. Go USA! |
But that doesn't go toward your equity/principle right?
Why the hell would someone pay X amount more per month and
not have it go towards their property?
