Default Florida perspective of shadow inventory

This article does a good job of explaining the shadow inventory and the negative impact it will have on the real estate market.

The "Shadow" Foreclosure Inventory - The Atlantic Business Channel

It is like pulling off a band-aid ~ do it quickly and get the pain over. Do it slowly and it is a huge OUCH!

The lower that real estate goes, the more debt evaporates. The lower real estate goes the lower property tax revenue will ultimately be. A housing crash stops population growth in Florida. What's not to love here? Just wish these loans would be written down so our property values can fall hard and fast. Once the real estate bubble is gone and foreign investors have been spooked we can get down to building a real economy.
