For some reason this post make me think of a speech by Rudy Giuliani where he explained that he was able to raise more money in New York by lowering taxes instead of raising them (because more people were employed and getting better salaries so in the end it amounted to more). People tend to just have a one-sided view about this sort of thing. <em>Marelisa's last blog post..<a href='http://abundance-blog.marelisa-online.com/?p=163' rel="nofollow">How Gratitude Can Change Your Life</a></em> Hi John: I think a lot of people don’t think long term and don’t actually understand how all of the different factors that you mention here come into play.

True, most people want to spend the least amount of money up front; unfortunately, people who don't know all their options tend to think that means "I need to get a lower price." This just isn't so. As for assumable mortgages becoming popular again, I think it would be nice - but who knows? If the lenders see a profit in it for them, they'll do it. It just takes one or two of them to find and market the idea and when and if it became popular, all the others would follow. For now, it never hurts to ask them to make it assumable during negotiations, it might make your house easier to sell down the road. <em>John Hoff's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/eVentureBizBlog/~3/320347318/' rel="nofollow">How To Buy A House Like A Real Estate Investor: Part 8 - Good Terms vs. Low Price</a></em> Hi Barbara.

Let's face it, often when people are buying homes, they want to spend the least amount of cash up front. You've opened your readers eyes to other possibilities. I like that. It was funny for me to see the phrase, "mortgage is assumable". That certainly isn't something we see too often. It makes me wonder if, with the current housing problems, if that will become a popular option again. What do you think? Or is that another post topic? hehe :lol: <em>Barbara Swafford's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/bloggingwithoutablog/DWWZ/~3/320281756/' rel="nofollow">Bloggers Flunk The Reading Assignments</a></em> Hi John,
