    20 Yr Old Buys Home With $183,000 FHA Loan & Just 3.5% D

    Denise Tejada bought a house last month at the age of 20, thanks in large part to a loan guaranteed by the Federal Housing Authority.

    This story offers a dramatic demonstration that, despite the housing bubble causing the worst economic downturn in generations, the ideology of home ownership is alive and well in the United States and still being supported by the government.

    Without question, Tejada's loan is toxic--to her and to the taxpayers who are backing the loan. Her house cost $155,000. Tejada's loan was apparently made on a micro-down payment of just 3.5%, the minimum down payment to qualify for an FHA loan.

    She may have also received some loan or down payment assistance because she is a "minority." Which points up the problems ahead if 20 million more minority residents, plus their minority relatives from the homeland are allowed regular citizenship status in the United States. With all of the privileges and protection granted to minorities the remaining taxpayers will be burdened even further.
