Seattle Mortgage

Getting a Seattle mortgage can be a little difficult these days, what with all of the credit crisis, foreclosures, bad credit ratings, homes not going for 0% down, etc.

The whole mortgage market has been kind of flipped on its head lately, and people are really having to "rethink" the way that they lend to people. (Especially banks.)

Why is that? Well, when you just give out loans to anyone and everyone, then you create potential disasterous problems. What kind of problems? Basically, the bank loaning money they don't have to people who can't pay it back.

Then what happens?

Boom!

Yep, big explosions of no money, and foreclosure, credit crisis, etc.

So you can probably understand why it may be hard to find a mortgage in the Seattle area unless you have really good credit and a good chunk of cash.
