Does Obama Want To Destroy Real Estate As An investment?

The Obama Administration just recently launched a government program to make mortgage loans available to the poor requiring only $1,000 down payment to buy a house; that effectively amounts to renting with 100% government insured financing.

Real Estate Brokers won’t work to sell a house when there is no equity to pay their commission. It is obvious many of the poor $1,000 down mortgage applicants will walk leaving their home to foreclosure, bringing down neighborhood home values. If this government experiment proliferates, making mortgages to home buyers for only $1,000 down, it will not only cost taxpayers billions covering no down payment foreclosures, it will force community home values down causing many Americans to conclude it is economically unsafe to own real estate, crushing property values.

The Obama government could effectively socialize home ownership, transferring homeowner equities to the poor, making homes so undesirable as an investment that once valuable homes—would sell and rent dirt cheap as poor housing. Government would no longer need to make $1,000 down payment mortgages—to the poor; government would have millions of abandoned homes to giveaway, rent next to nothing. If Obama's socialized housing proliferates; remember Obama’s words, “We need to level the playing field” as Obama appears intended to destroy American’s number one free enterprise investment, a Citizen's home. Most Americans’ savings have been the equity in their house. Once that is destroyed most Americans will have nothing.
