STOP NCAR

This site is about the overreaching political power of the NC Association of Realtors flush with money from cashing in your equity 6% at a time, leaving you to pay for growth with property taxes, year after year, with or without cash flow. In the last few years NCAR has pumped millions of dollars into NC political campaigns at the state and local level. They have spent millions more to defeat Local Options for Local Governments with misleading ads.

It's sad the blame game most of these borrowers seem to subscribe to. I used to be a mortgage broker and the borrowers wanted to pay $700 for a $400,000 house. Fewer were duped into this type of mortgage than you would think
