What platitudes? There is no secret about what happened. Why don't you take the time to actually research what went happened and tell me where you think I got it wrong and tell me what you think the likely outcome would have been if there had been no government bailout after private capital pulled out of the credit markets in the fall of 2008 which caused the credit markets to essentially to stop functioning? How high do you think interest rates would have need to rise to in order to attract sufficient private capital back into the credit markets (including the secondary mortgage market) in a highly toxic credit risk environment to avoid a full blown economic depression without the government bailout (assuming that it would have been possible at to attract sufficient private capital at any yieldTim, please spare us the platitudes, you do not know what would of happened because you do not know what you do not know. Next thing you will espouse is that you know the future of appraisers...have at it, but include time line, number of appraisers leaving the profession and where that will leave you in the profession. I have an excel sheet specialy made for your predictions.
Wow, you really went out on a limb by predicting that there will be another bubble in the real estate market, a market that has always been cyclical and regularly has bubbles and market corrections. Next, you will be predicting that sun will rise in the east tomorrow morning.here is my prediction. the next bubble in the housing market is coming. fannie will deflect any responsibility onto others. they will use CU to "blame" appraisers see current graphs. CU will be implemented as the new age appraisal. what could be more unbiased then a computer. oh and they get another bailout. maybe 500,000,000,000 this time.

"These two entities — Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac — are not facing any kind of financial crisis. The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing."
