During one one-minute stretch, Ben-Ami foreclosed on 11 homes. The Wayne County housing disaster reflects the ongoing demise of General Motors, once a pillar of the U.S. industrial economy. Unemployment and cutbacks in overtime have left many homeowners unable to meet their mortgage payments, particularly those who took out exotic loans “or siphoned all the equity out of their property to pay off debts or get cash,” notes the paper. “My monthly payment went from $500 to $2,200 because of the negative escrow account,” explained one General Motors worker who lost his home in a mortgage default. click on link for full story......
