Well, looks like I am doing the right thing by buying raffle tickets for a house.

The odds are 50,000 to one that I will win, but hey, thats better odds than I would get if I tried to find a mortgage with a 3 grand deposit!!

Was predicted all along by HPC bloggers. Isn't it time to pull the plug and stop this nonsense? What is this idolism with banks - are they to be considered as immortal?

Sorry if this has been suggested before. If a sub-prime borrower purchases a property the vendor should take-on responsibility. The total fund should not be transfered at the point sale but over a set amount of time.
