Press Release Summary = Foreclosure rates are at an all time high in Colorado.
However, recent changes to the mortgage industry should curtail this trend and slow
foreclosure rates.


Press Release Body = A hot topic recently in Colorado has been foreclosures.
Colorado has the 2nd highest rate of foreclosures in the U.S. A big reason why the
foreclosure rate has been so high is because Colorado mortgage brokers have got
their clients into high-risk mortgages called subprime loans that result in high
foreclosure rates. These types of mortgages include adjustable rate mortgages which
start the borrower at a low interest rate for a few years and then the interest rate
starts adjusting. Sometimes these adjustments are every month and their monthly
payments could easily go up hundreds of dollars.

The other type of loan that was creating a lot of foreclosures was a stated income
loan. The problem with these types of loans is that the borrowers were stating that
they made more income than they actually did to qualify for a more expensive home.
In turn, their payments were a bigger portion of their income than the lenders
believed it would be and many borrowers could not keep up with their mortgage.

The good news for the Colorado foreclosure rate is that the subprime industry just
collapsed. Many big time subprime lenders have just recently filed for bankruptcy.
Also, the mortgage industry as a whole has just recently tightened up their
guidelines on stated income loans. They now require a bigger down payment and a
higher credit score for a stated income loan.

Ryan Russo, Founder and CEO of Colorado Mortgage Helper says, "There still is a loan
out there for low income, low credit and no credit borrowers. It is called an FHA
loan and there are many good features of this loan that will keep the foreclosure
rate to a minimum in Colorado. It is a government insured loan that a borrower can
get a 30-year fixed rate at the same interest rate that a good credit, high income
borrower could. Also, a borrower cannot inflate their income because it is a full
document loan that looks in depth at all of the homebuyers financials."

So with the recent changes in the mortgage industry, we should start seeing
foreclosure rates in Colorado coming back down to normal levels. With FHA loans
still around, it will enable many people to still be able to buy their home without
the added risks of an adjustable rate mortgage or inflating their income.
