What other disclosure is there? It is all in the paperwork. Do you think the borrowers could care less? Hey! Everybody is making money flipping this house. Lets go do it ourselves. What else do you expect the lender to do? Tell the borrower he is in dangerous waters? Why should he care? It is not his responsibility, is it? After all, any loan is a good loan since it can be packaged up and moved on. No skin off my company.
