Or when the housing market is booming, they'll repossess the house and sell it again for even more of a profit.

Probably make as much use of the scam mortgage insurance that they can too. I forget what it's actually called but it's a scam IMO. $100 a month baked into my escrow for insurance to the lender in case I lost the house. To my knowledge it provides me no benefit.

Upside is when I refinanced it was taken off. (Think the whole first time home owner program requires it for the initial loan.)
