I guess they want their mortgages from China too....

*****************************************************
One in three U.S. consumers would consider a mortgage from retailer Wal-Mart and almost half would consider one from online payment provider PayPal, according to a financial services study to be released on Monday.

The results should be especially disconcerting for banks because the two companies don't even offer mortgages.

The study shows consumers are willing to try alternative lenders as borrowers focus on price, customer service and trust in their provider when selecting a mortgage, said Doug Hautop, lending practice lead at the Carlisle & Gallagher Consulting Group, which conducted the survey.

They could cut out the middle man... China loans money to the U.S., U.S. gives money to the bank, bank loans money to you... Yea, should just go direct, from China to you, maybe even get a better rate...

Id just as soon "buy my mortgage" from bin laden or kim jung ill, than send the payments off to the facist wells fargo black hole

I think that's the point: customers don't perceive that the conventional mortgage providers add any value, so they would rather take their business elsewhere where they at least get low prices.
