It’s time for a little link sharing. Here are some bloggers who submitted their blogs to be a part of my Sunday Linkup. I imagine I’ll be doing this every Monday, so everyone should have plenty of reading to start their weeks off with; although, I may add a personal finance section in there as well in case you want a bit of variety. I haven’t had a chance to check out all of these articles, but there are certainly a few gems in what I’ve been able to read so far.
Thanks to everyone who was able to submit their hard work to be shared with my readers! Enjoy!

Logan Flatt, CFA presents You Don’t Own Real Estate. Real Estate Owns You. posted at PowerWealth.com, saying, “Many Americans believe that real estate can do no wrong as an asset class upon which they can build wealth. I disagree. Building wealth through real estate depends on your ability to distinguish among the three types of real estate ownership – investment, speculative, and personal. If you don’t know the differences, you may soon discover that you don’t own real estate, real estate owns you.”

Once the housing market cools, there is an increase in foreclosures, delinquencies and defaults of mortgage loans that have been based on fraudulent information.”

I work for CurrentForeclosures.com a foreclosures site, and our company has been aware of the impending foreclosure issues for months. In my opinon the contributers to the failing real estate market are subprime mortgages and ARM’s that are causing homeowners that should not have qualified for a home loan in the first place to face foreclosure, the depreciation in housing prices (especially as foreclosures flood the market!) and the fact that so many are unable to sell their homes. More and more research shows that the housing market will not recover until at least next year, and it will most likely take years to get us back to where we were before the bottom fell out. The Fed interest rate cut helped some, but if they truly want to help struggling homeowners they need to make further cuts and write legislation that prevents borrowers from being taken advantage of by shady lenders.
