Novastar- "poster child of toxic lending"

This home is a 3 bedrooms and 2 baths home. It is listed at 1,978 square feet. This is a current short sale or pre-foreclosure (depending on how you see it). Let us look at what got this home in trouble:



Good old Novastar (poster child of toxic mortgage lending) made $1,000,000 in loans on a 3 bedroom home. The notice of default was only filed in May of 2009 and the original Novastar loans were made in 2006. So it took about 3 years for payments to be missed. The current short sale price is $949,000. Even an FHA insured loan won’t help you here. Anybody have a $200,000 down payment and looking to spend nearly a million dollars for a 3 bedroom home? From $147,000 to $1 million all in one city. That covers much of the food chain."
