    It was never in good faith. It was about buying votes. If it was in good faith, the moratorium would have included deferment of payment of the loan for the property too.

    Yeah, I bought mine the day it went on the market on Zillow. I had been looking and one night as I was searching Zillow and Redfin, the house popped up and I offered the asking price right then and it was accepted. Have to move quickly or investment companies will grab it by offering thousands over the asking price.
    Good plan on your part. I saved some cash and bought a home at the bottom of the last housing crash. Value of the house has gone up 3 times what I paid for it.
    Anyone wanting to purchase a home and has some cash available, be patient, the next crash is coming.

    FYI - The mortgage debt relief act was extended to 2025 in one of the recent Covid bills, as I understand it.

    This prevents an underwater homeowner who does a short sale or foreclosure from owing capital gains taxes on the forgiven debt.

    We want the underwater homeowners to bail to help burst the bubble.

    Wife and I were like drug addicts when we monitored Zillow and Redfin. Never shut off the computer and then pounced quickly on the one we bought.
    Before that, we had made several offers on other homes and were quickly shut out by investment companies.

    Did the same. Paid off debts and have reserves ready to go when the bottom falls out.

    That's what we did. Also, started monitoring homes in Florida, Texas, Nevada due to favorable tax laws and no personal income taxes.
    Narrowed that down to Palm Coast, Florida and Clark County, Nevada.
    Henderson/Las Vegas is in Clark County.
    That's like a stressful game, but it can really pay off for people looking for a home purchase.

    If a person plays this housing market correctly they will substantially increase their net worth in a fairly short period of time.
