Are you now satisified that banks have done proper(bullet-tight) due-dilligence on the properties they are listing/have relisted? If not what do you intend to do to protect yourself.
Also what are people's thoughts & feelings about the US & QE2? Will this affect the timing of when you decide to buy?
economically speaking QE2 is ridiculous, counter fiscal policy and Keynesian economics is terrible flawed IMO… however from an investing standpoint (property and stocks etc) its putting an artificial floor in the market, and any hint of deflation will be met with further stimulus.
Basically the Fed is Gandalf… "you shall not pass!"

Perhaps your rate will be even lower, what with Bernanke's controversial quantitative easing plan just starting to hit the market.their is still literature and talk from Fed members for a slight increase in rates, i cant imagine it actually rising till June and this new round of treasury buying is done…
