    I didn't know much about finance or real estate until one day in 2002 when I just happened to catch George Bush on TV talking about how credit standards were now loosened and everyone was getting a home. I told my wife, let's wait to buy a house until all the bankruptcies hit the market and we did. Now I'm fascinated by finance and love everything Michael Lewis has written.

    My wife was a mortgage broker back in the 2000's. She used to tell me there were so many people buying homes they were never going to be able to afford. I asked how they were getting approved she told me that the lenders didn't really care if the interest rates were high enough. She was making money hand over fist and we lived very good. We got divorced right before the crash and the company she worked for was under a federal lawsuit and eventually shutdown. Now she works at a bank for a 5th of what she made back then.

      Where we had an office, one of the guys who worked there was a preacher.
      I hadn't seen him for a few weeks then he showed up.
      Asked what he was doing and he was a mortgage broker.
      I asked him if he had a license.
      He said no.
      This guy could not tell you the difference between straight interest or compound interest.
      But he could quote the bible.
      That's not business.
      So when the crash came, I knew he would be standing there with his pants around his ankles.

      I was victimized in Atlanta in 2002 of one of these remortgaging contracts. I was unemployed since the 2000 stock market crash, when I was making over $100,000 a year and had been a home owner for over 16 years. I got out before the 2008 housing crash.
      Before I read his book, I wanted to read every book and become an expert on what happened.
      After I read “The Big Short”
      I realized I knew everything I needed to know about the people who caused it.
      He had humanized what had happened.
      Everything else, was just details or history of what happened.

That was insane, a 18 year old getting that much credit, I saw his eyes light up as he went around the store and started buying electronics and other high ticket items. It made me sick to see, this kid shouldn’t have gotten a penny in credit and I know he defaulted or mommy and daddy bailed him out after ruining his credit.

In our divorce he told the children that all the money problems were gone before I was gone. I think these 2008 loans are just now coming to roost. We had bad credit and lenders knocked on our door offering us a home loan for the same amount as our rent. It seems like he lived there 20 years with no equity or penalty.

    I was a Real Estate Appraiser back in the 1990's and early 0ughts. I STILL have the License on "INACTIVE" as it was so hard to get. I finally quit in 2005 due to the CONSTANT SUPER-PRESSURE from Banks and Mortgage Companies to LIE on a Real Estate Appraisal. I NEVER MET a Real Estate Appraiser really until I became one. The College I went to for Career Counseling many years ago told me it was a "Lucrative and REspected Career". After putting in nearly ten years to that "profession" I had no choice but to face the fact it was nothing but a Cheap, Chiseling Racket. Every Bank or Mortgage company I ever worked for would STOP USING me the first time I handed them an Appraisal that "did not make value". If I did NOT get my money up front they would NOT even pay me for my work. What I learned is the COLLEGES, if they are STATE SUPPORTED they will LIE about the value of the education they sell. They will tell you Brazilian Basket Weaving is a GREAT CAREER if you happen to mention it. They get PAID for SIGNING UP STUDENTS for Careers they know nothing about. The more STUDENTS they have the more money they get from the STATE. So, they will tell you ANYTHING is "Lurcrative and Respected".
    The TRUTH about that RACKET is the Loan Officers work on Commissioin and if they DON'T get their commission they will BLACKLIST THE APPRAISER. I PREDICTED the COLLAPSE of the Banks and Mortgage Companies THEN (2007 &2008) and I can tell you it is on its way AGAIN. The BANKS do NOT CARE!!! They have YOU the Taxpayer to BAIL THEM OUT. Eighty-one percent of my Appraisal Business was RE-FINANCE. People LIE about the value of their homes when they want a Cash Out RE-FI. If you do NOT lie for them they won't use you. Plus the FEES are too low. And GUESS WHAT, the FEES for a Single Family Home are almost DEAD ON THE SAME they were in 1998. The price of EVERYTHING has EXPLODED except Real Estate Appraisals. I predicted that Fannie Mae and Freddiw Mac would COLLAPSE and they said that was IMPOSSIBLE. Well, they BOTH went in to FREE FALL but the Government "created" TRILLIONS of Dollars from THIN AIR to BAIL THEM OUT. It is all happening AGAIN. Get Buckled in, it is going to be a Bumpy Ride..
    I WASTED my Time and MONEY back in College going to school to be a Real Estate Appraiser. I wasted ten years of my life BEING a Real Estate Appraiser. I have NOT done a real estate appraisal since 2005. The BANKS do NOT WANT ANYONE Scrutiniziing the Collateral for a LOAN, they have YOU to bail them out. The THREE most CROOKED RACKETS in the USA are Insurance, Banking, and the Stock Market. The interesting thing is the Dutch East India invented TWO of these Rackets. The banks just want to LOAN LOAN LOAN. They do NOT care if they make a LOUSY LOAN. BB
