"I have a friend of a friend who just bought a home in San Diego (about 6 months ago). Paid $850k on a 100% IO loan with a 1% teaser loan. Paymnt is only about $700 a month. In about 6 more months the payment will go to about $5k a month. The home will also be worth about $800k. The friend of the freind is a manager at Taco Bell in Scripps Ranch. What is the chance of him making it past 3 months when the teaser is over?

My above example is extreme, but don't we all know someone who is in this boat?"
