Heard a report on the radio that 25% of the foreclosures were from speculators?

foreclosures
pdooma asked:


People who were flipping houses and whatnot…not Joe Homeowner actually living in the house. What change would that have on the housing market numbers if you took out the speculators?

    That still means 75% were not speculators. That is a pretty big percentage.

    Seriously you are looking at 25% versus 75%.

    who can tell - someone would have eventually bought those house and and without knowing what kind of financing deal that person might have gotten you could wind up with a million different answers - if every one of those 25% was sold to someone with 10% down payment and a low fixed rate mortgage, and weren’t stretching their budgets to make the payments, then the overall situation would be 25% better
