My friend who works in HR tells me that corporate re-los get this type of deal. Typically they bring in the person, and put up the downpayment on the home and if it does not work out in a year, they don't owe anything. If it does work out all they owe is the balance of the mortgage.

He could have shut the fuck up. He was out on the stump pimping the policy. He should have been up in the WH telling the Black President his brothers needed some help.

Think of it as you want to buy a house. Under FNM rules you need to put down 20% of the price. so on a $100,000 house you need $20,000 and you assume the risk of paying the mortgage. Now imagine you can buy the house for a down payment of only $10,000 because someone else puts up the other $10,000. Now to sweeten the deal when you borrow the money we make your loan such that we guarantee that if your house hasn't gone up in value when you go to sell it we will take back and all you lost was $10,000. Tell me will you take this deal?
You should because it allows you to buy twice as much house if you have the $20,000.

rikyrah: -Er -ummmmm It looks as IFF this "CEO - - -OUSTING" is "TRENDING!"

Top French carmaker ousts CEO Christian Streiff

PARIS — France's biggest carmaker, PSA Peugeot-Citroen, ousted CEO Christian Streiff on Sunday, saying "exceptional difficulties" confronting the auto industry require new management at the top.

Philippe Varin is being brought in from outside the company June 1 to replace Streiff, the company said in a statement. Roland Vardanega, a member of the three-man board of directors at the car company, will preside over the company until then.

Varin, 56, has worked for French aluminum producer Pechiney and British-Dutch company Corus, helping to turn around the steelmaker's fortunes.

Peugeot-Citroen last month announced a net loss of euro343 million ($433 million) in 2008 compared with a net profit of euro885 million a year earlier. It predicted another loss this year.

The carmaker, along with Renault SA, won a government rescue package that includes euro7.5 billion ($9.8 billion) over five years in low-interest loans. In return it promised not to lay anyone off this year or close factories.

Streiff, 54, was appointed president and chief executive officer of Airbus in July 2006, serving a brief term there before going over to Peugeot-Citroen.
The carmaker's statement noted that Varin, Streiff's successor, went to Corus in 2003 and brought the company to profit from its previous heavy losses. Varin then brought together Corus and Tata steel in 2007.

The decision to abruptly oust Streiff was made unanimously at a meeting Sunday of the company's board, headed by Thierry Peugeot, the statement said.

Now, where was that door?? :>)
