I know people with over $100,000 in principal HELOC balances paying very little. That is going to change.

I think HELOC turned into, over time, a 'helicopter drops of free $ to the little people' from the fed reserve.
Didnt they adjust the law in CA to declare any heloc over 150k is basically a non secured loan?

$50 Billion in HELOC money outstanding by 2015?
That's 25x bigger than the total cash reserves of FHA.
How many BMWs does America need?

The trick is to roll the heloc into one loan, keep refinancing at a lower rate and just pay interest only. I know a couple of people doing this, they seem just fine with it.
Some younger people are saying, never pay off your home loan, it's only a couple of percent, you can do better elsewhere investing the money, then one day use that to pay down your mortgage.

This started with easy money. Now it won't be rolled over, maybe and then you know what will hit the fan. But the lenders were primarily at fault.
