A friend of mine bought a new motorcycle last week, so Saturday he was visiting most everyone he knows, showing it off.
He rode down to Delaware to visit a friend that was up to his ears with an ARM mortgage that was approaching 20%, and in danger of losing the house. The guy told him the mortgage company (CITI I think) had contacted him to renegotiate the mortgage. They said it was part of the "bailout" deal and gave him 2% for three years and 4% after that on a fixed rate mortgage. He also had a home equity loan with the same company, and they gave him the same 2%/4% deal on that. Now he won't lose his home and his wife is smiling again. This is the first positive result of the "bailout", I've personally heard of.
