Have the US Attorney General investigate how the banking industry is selling foreclosed, and short sale homes only to all cash paying investors, and not allowing regular citizens to buy said homes with mortgage loans.
Private investors are enjoying from very low prices in homes that US banks offer them. A considerable amount of these investors are from foreign countries, and they are leaving these homes closed waiting for prices to elevate and then sell for a profit.
The nation, and it's economy would benefit from banks lending to those who live, and work here. Responsible buyers would improve these homes, keep them occupied, while at the same time fulfilling the American dream.
It is time to investigate this conspiracy between the banking industry, and wealthy investors.
