Refinance Bill Drastically Alters Market


Rep. Dennis Cardoza (D., Calif.) wants to allow all homeowners with traditional, 30-year fixed mortgages backed by Fannie Mae (FNMA.OB) and Freddie Mac (FMCC.OB) to refinance into market rates, according to spokesman Mike Jensen. Unlike other government initiatives to help troubled borrowers, Cardoza's idea would ignore income, credit history or loan-to-value ratios to lower the cost of owning a home for up to 30 million homeowners. 
MY NOTE:  this will help many but will unless they reduce principle the risk of foreclosure will remain as people are shackled to houses without being able to sell out for job transfers and life changes. click title link to read full article.
