The Fed has done what they can do, but lenders aren't controlled by the government (hmmm, not yet that is) so they have no one forcing them to make loans. We've said it before, we'll say it again, "why hasn't Washington reached out to Mortgage Insurers?" Wouldn't a lot more borrowers be able to get approval if they had MI since coming up with 20% is pretty difficult these days? Always a pleasure, thanks for commenting, Tim Thanks Mitch.

It's irritating that these home lenders haven't done everything they can to help home owners, but the Fed has helped some people, so it worked, though it could have easily been better.
