I really don't think she is trying to make the mortgage industry look bad, or sneeky.

In other words if your maximum affordable rent is $1100. Then you need to factor in that other percentage, subract it from the $1100 to find out how much house you can really afford.
I dont think we are interpreting it the wrong way.. she is just wrong about all her points... Her factors are way too high and she really does not know what she is talking about..

So its not us... it is her and people like you who think a yahoo link sheds life on reality! your wrong shes wrong and anyone else who beleives her is wrong! thats all... have a nice day
