Hippy Pam, while I agree with you on the part of the mortgage companies providing easy credit to lure home buyers, it’s not that they held a gun to people’s heads and forced them to buy.

Many people have been swept up in the “reno craze”, TV shows that promoted the spending of tens of thousands of dollars on renovating homes. With access to easy credit, people bought homes they really could not afford and then did renovations they could not afford.

Caveat emptor.
