EP440 Zombie Loans Are Back with Shante Duffy

After the housing crash in 2008, millions of struggling homeowners asked for loan modifications with their lenders. Many of these homeowners were relieved to find out that their lender was willing to forgive their 2nd mortgage as part of the modification process.

But now those loans are coming back to haunt them, and the investment groups that bought up those loans for pennies on the dollar are foreclosing on them in order to sell the property at a profit.
