NY Gov't Screws Their Own Homeowners

The NY legislature and governor passed and signed a law that makes mortgage investors liable for fraud related to the origination of mortgages that they might own.

The response? Freddie Mac says they will no longer own any NY-based mortgages. The next step? Mortgage rates in NY start going up. Thanks Gov!
