Did housing market affect private student loans? I saw that many private student loan compaies stopped offering student loans to 2 year colleges and some got out of the market all together. Is this directly related to the housing crisis? If so, then why not also bail people out of their massive student loan debt if they're gonna help people with their houses? I don't see how it's anyone elses fault other than the people who got the housing loans. I couldn't figure out what section this question belonged in so I made an educated guess.

How to identify the best interest rate for housing loans? Recently we have planned to take a housing finance loan but are more confused about the different interest calculations offered by different banks... One of my friends suggests that its always better to go for nationalized banks even though the service will not be as good as private banks but we can be sure of less interest rates since there will be no hidden costs. How do the banks calculate the interest rates (EMI) and the repayment period? Are these private banks reliable? Please suggest in this regard....

How exactly do Section 502 Rural Housing Loans subsidize a monthly mortgage payment? Im looking into obtaining a section 502 rural housing loan from the USDA for low-income people. I have researched some of the usda's info but cant find answers to my specific questions. My questions involves the repayment ratio, amount of mortgage financed, and subsidy. From what I understand, the income and debt of the household is used to determine the amount of the mortgage that the program gives to you - so that the mortgage, taxes, insurance, and interest will be no greater than 30% of the total income. What is confusing me is this: first, I dont understand where the subsidy comes in - does the govt subsidize the payment so that it will be less than 30% of income, or are you only allowed to buy a home if the payment is 30% of income. Second, using 30% of my total household income towards a mortgagae payment would never let me buy a home in my area, where the cheapest house costs $300,000. So can someone please clarify these questions and the program basics. Thanks!!

Will the defaults in subprime loans have an effect on the entire housing market ? Will it be regionalized? The indicators showing the increased default in subprime loans had a significantly negetive effect on the stock market yesterday. Speaking to the housing market, the results will be 2 fold. 1. Those who are not able to make payments will be forced to sell their houses to cash in on any equity theyve accumulated in the recent (5yr) run up in hosuing prices 2. Those who cannot sell will default and the banks will take the home into forclosure and sell the homes. Either way what you are going to have is more homes for sale which by the simplist supply and demand economics will drive down prices. The obvious answer is downward price pressure will mean a further fall in housing prices, however these are only subprime loans taht are defaulting. I would assume those with subprime loans would be for homes in lower-mid income areas. Does this mean that homes in upper mid-high income areas will reletively have more stability in terms of pricing pressure, thus a better time to buy?
