Banks are keeping 90% of their inventory off market. Foreclosure related sales are around 34% of current total home sales nationwide. There are 33 delinquent mortgages for every foreclosure in Ohio.

Folks, while the Federal Reserve Board has everyone drinking the Kool Aid, the reality is that we are in some pretty deep sh*t! You don’t have to be a math major to figure out what is going to happen when the flood gates open. Make no mistake whatsoever, the Gates have to open up!
