According to the Wall Street Journal, jumbo borrowers are struggling to get another mortgage after going into foreclosure a few years back.
Affluent home buyers attempting to get back into real estate after defaulting on their home loan are finding that few lenders are willing to work with them. Those that do often impose long waiting periods, higher down payments and higher interest rates.
