“WASHINGTON (AP) — The number of homeowners who missed at least one mortgage payment surged to a record in the first quarter of the year, a sign that the foreclosure crisis is far from over.” – http://tinyurl.com/2evpapt
All RE is local but so are the banks that hold these mortgages.
“Mortgage Applications Plummet To 13-Year Low As Tax Cuts Expire” – http://tinyurl.com/2c93hhc

Gersh Kuntzman??? Sad. Very sad. He still probably endures psychological scars from when he was a child and tormented by other students in school.
Now that’s a classic looking brownstone block!
“When he resisted the demand for cash, they beating him with the two-wheeled weapon.”
Gersh kuntzman, besides having a very unfortunate name, can not write. The Brooklyn paper is such crap it’s not even funny.
