The buyers are sniffing to much toxic waste.
Then when they come out of their delusional buy purchase realize the it's time to go bust.

Keep an eye out for the Consumer Confidence numbers, as well as New Home Starts at a bit after 10am this morning.

NJResident,

New Jersey Foreclosure Laws

The bank will sell the property at aa loss and then sue for the difference. The new bankrupcy laws mean bankrupcy is not an option for many, and they can't simply turn in the keys and walk away. The prior owner can be saddled with that debt.

Even if the prior owner somehow gets away without having to pay the difference, they'll still owe Ol' Uncle Sammy (the IRS) quite a bit of cash. I believe the elimination of debt is treated as income and taxed as such.

I have been following a site now for almost 2 years and I have found it to be both reliable and profitable. They post daily and their stock trades have been beating
the indexes easily.

Take a look at Wallstreetwinnersonline.com
