Posted in Real Estate on May 9, 2008 by billleibIt seems we are all blaming preditory lenders for all of the foreclosure mess. The number one reason for the foreclosures in Ohio is still job loss, it has been for several years. The numbers 2 and 3 reasons are health and divorce.
The preditory lending accounts for about 2% of the foreclosures, but added onto the above makes the situation worse.
