Big Banks Face Foreclosure Themselves

It seems that up to 40% of the residences in Florida that fall under the control of Homeowner's Associations are currently in default on dues. Much of this is due to bank owned properties not keeping them up to date. I suppose nothing is really surprising anymore when we talk about the major banks. Apparently they are still overwhelmed by the sheer size of the problem ... and this is just another result.
