Housing counseling on a stick
Posted on August 19th, 2008 – 5:11 PMBy Kara McGuire
This just in from the Minnesota Department of Commerce and Home Ownership Center:
Housing and foreclosure counseling will be available each day from 11am to 5pm at the State Fair. Just head to the Department of Commerce booth in the Education building on Cosgrove Street.
According to the release: “Foreclosure counselors will provide information on what happens during foreclosure, homeowners’ rights, tips for talking with lenders, solutions for long-term housing needs, and how to avoid scams. Participants will be able to ask advisors questions and get free advice, resources and referral services.”

What about counseling for those of us who manage our payments and credit accordingly but have been sapped of all equity because those who don’t have absolutely wrecked the market?
Amen to that MC. I am also interested to understand that if you are in danger of foreclosure on your home, what the heck are you doing at the state fair. You could drop a mortgage payment easily just buying a couple of things on a stick and a tilt-a-whirl ride.
For me, I would think that dealing with foreclosure at what’s supposed to be a fun diversion would give one indigestion after all of that food on a stick.
