Mortgage loan, what you need to know
An estimated 2. 3 million homes were foreclosed this past year and many analysts predict that the number could reach as high as 10 million in the coming years, if the recession continues. Arizona was ranked number three in the nation for foreclosures. It is one of the areas in the country hardest hit by the recession with unemployment recorded at 6. 9 percent in the last month of 2008.
