did lots of banks back in early 90's keep the loans themselves or sell them to offshore investors?
i agree a rational bank would stop selling loans but if u can borrow yen at 0.25% and get amercian mortgages yielding 6%, maybe lending will go on?

i do believe housing will drop due to fundamentals/overvaluation/oversupply but maybe unavailability of loans not an issue especially with long bond dropping and hot money overseas investors?
