Mortgage Finance Experts: How will the market affect homeowners who will be refinancing next year?


My parents bought the house 4 years ago at a rate of 4%, which is due to change next year when their loan rates. With the strengthening of the market and stricter lending again, which will be required to produce the result, are concerned about the refinancing was in Serbian for them. The good news is that they have an impeccable credit (they are able to remove their SMEs, and are above their payments every month — and pay an extra couple of hundred dollars so far they should. Not to mention the card card debt is very low (only a few thousand dollars). They were both excellent jobs to pay more than ten years but have always worried whether they will be able to get a decent fixed rate when refinancing their bonds increased. hope?

What did Barney Frank have to do with wrecking our economy?

I am reading The Big Short by Michael Lewis.

It’s about how the Wall Street geniuses were allowed by the GOP Congress under Clinton to wreck our economy thru the securitization of mortgage loans into AAA rated bonds.

The SEC under Bush was absent or was told to be absent by the Republicans (remember Bernie Madoff)

No where is Barney Frank mentioned. What role if any did he play?
