			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><i>Question by Will smells</i>: Are Americans in danger of losing homes?</strong><br />
From the information I have- sub-prime market is around 1/3 of US mortgage market (FT).<br />
Fed recently cut rates- which is rather unusual as Central Bank rates tend to follow a movement trend- eg steadily down, or up not  rise then fall within 6 months.</p>
<p>If America faces furtehr economic problems- and foreign lendors demand more rapid repayment of sub-prime guarantees:</p>
<p>Is there a real danger of Americans being left bankrupt and or homeless?<br />
How real or unlikely is this situation (what we see/read is often very diferent from real life)?</p>
<p><strong>Best answer:</strong></p>
<p><i>Answer by aera</i><br/>Some are, some aren&#8217;t. Look at the foreclosure section of your local newspaper and see how many people really are losing their homes.</p>

<p class="releaseDateline">Houston, Texas (PRWEB) January 29, 2012 </p>
<p> Houston-based insurance agency, Iscential (formerly known as Barhorst Insurance Group) is planning its 17th Annual Kick-off Meeting and Agency Awards for February 10-11, 2012. The two-day event will be held at the Omni Houston Hotel and Maggiano’s Little Italy restaurant in Houston’s Galleria area.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>“This is my chance to formally thank our team for all they do,” says CEO Warren Barhorst. “We owe our success to these people:  our employees, their families, and our outside partners. We absolutely could not do it without them.”</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Since 1994, Barhorst has hosted the annual program for his entire agency. Alternating between family and adults-only events, one thing remains the same:  he insists on hosting a venue that is exciting and outside the norm so it’s a memorable experience for all. This year, team members and their spouses will be treated to a full two days of relaxation, fun, and a little business at the Omni Houston Hotel in Houston’s famed Galleria area.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>One of the weekend highlights will be the agency’s annual awards dinner and ceremony. Barhorst will honor his top team members in several categories, including:  Highest Customer/Agent Satisfaction, Top Service Quality, Most Cross Sales, Commercial Lines Leader, Life and Financial Leader, and Agency of the Year. The awards are highly coveted by the team members who work all year toward this goal. In addition to kicking off the new year, the agency will be formally transitioning over to its new name and brand: Iscential.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>“We’re so excited about the Iscential brand and the meaning behind it,” states Barhorst. “We always strive to provide an extraordinary service experience for our customers. Our new branding position reiterates to our existing and future customers, as well as our business partners, that we are committed to serving them with excellence. That’s how it’s always been, but now we’re just putting a name to it.”</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Iscential’s partners and event sponsors include:  Nationwide Insurance, Nationwide Financial, Nationwide Flood Program, National Flood Services, Insurance Intermediaries, Inc. (III), Service King Collision Repair Centers, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, PURE Insurance, and ServPro Industries, Inc.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>For more information, call 713.856.5533 or visit iscential.com.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>About Iscential</p>

<p><strong>Best answer:</strong></p>
<p><i>Answer by llaffer</i><br/>You have 2 bugs in your program.  </p>
<p>The first, is in your for loop where you calculate the principal for each month, you&#8217;re using the wrong variable.</p>
<p>You have:</p>
<p>for ( int i = 1; i <= months; ++i )</p>
<p>Where what you want to have is:</p>
<p>You want to use the variable "Amort1" instead of "months".</p>
<p>The next problem, is that the 2nd loan in your loop starts with a balance near 0.  This is because you are changing the value of "loan" during the loop and never resetting it.</p>
<p>So at the top of the loop, I reset "loan" to 200000.</p>
<p>For some reason, Yahoo would error out if I put more specific examples. So this is the best I can do. Hope it helps.</p>

<p><strong><i>Question by QNA</i>: Is there any good reason to justify getting a zero down mortgage?</strong><br />
Aside from the obvious (the lack of funds), is there any reason at all to get a zero down mortgage?</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t have the money for a downpayment at the present time, but can be approved for a mortgage, would it be better to save up for the downpayment or just go ahead and sign the mortgage???</p>
<p>This probably requires a fairly complicated answer, so thanks in advance!</p>
<p><strong>Best answer:</strong></p>
<p><i>Answer by Watchman</i><br/>With a 20% down payment they can&#8217;t force you to pay mortgage insurance.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><i>Question by </i>: What would my monthly mortgage payment be on a 0,000 house with a 20% down payment in North Carolina?</strong><br />
I know there&#8217;s mortgage calculators but they do not include property taxes or homeowner&#8217;s insurance. I want as realistic as possible. Also, could we afford this house comfortably on a $  75,000 annual salary pre-tax?</p>
<p><strong>Best answer:</strong></p>
<p><i>Answer by chatsplas</i><br/>Use the mortgage calculators<br />
You can figure out what the taxes and insurance are and add them up and divide by 12 and add to payments. . . .taxes vary, pick taxes on this mythical house, and cost of insurance</p>
<p>NOPE, you cannot comfortably afford this home on $  75K income. . . .with 20% down, and great credit and no debt, you might find a lender, but not easy. . . .MOST want your home to be 2-2.5 times annual income, definitely NOT more than 3</p>
<p>MOST common mistake of first time home buyers is overextending themselves:  buying more home than they need or can comfortably afford.</p>
