Mortgage payment protection plans boom

Is there a rainy day in your personal job forecast? Not a surprising thought considering rising unemployment rates. Rainy Day Foundation in Washington D.C. is offering a mortgage protection plan. IF a home buyer loses their job they can qualify to receive up to six months mortgage payments.

Nor would it be surprising if uncertainty about your income is a major barrier keeping you out of the home-buying market this spring. That's why a previously obscure charitable group based in Washington, D.C. -- the Rainy Day Foundation -- is doing a booming business in what's called the mortgage payment protection niche.

Reverse Mortgages Pay It Forward

Older Americans have a lot to worry about in this economy. But for homeowners age 62 and older who own their home or have a low balance on their home loan, a reverse mortgage may present an untapped source of wealth--or simply a means to pay bills in hard times and still remain in their home.

How; a limp sum payment, a line of credit, a variable monthly payment or a combination of these. For the complete article check out the April/May edition of California Real Estate.

New Normal

Newport Beach CA --  Paul McCulley, Managing Director Pimco, on CNBC this morning discussed that in terms of an investment  outlook:

1- We now have a new normal

2- You can't just re-run the clock from the past

3- Valuations have changed

4- We will have new areas of risk aversion

This was actually a revisit to a topic he covered in 2008 but is more relevant than ever.

The government and markets must have a "happy" coexistence, said Paul McCulley, Pimco managing director, on CNBC's "Squawk Box" on Thursday.

“As we get through this recession we’ll see a new union, if you will, between the invisible hand of the market and the visible fist of the government,” said McCulley.

However, profit growth will decline as the economy deleverages, or sheds debt, he said.
