http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23731299/In recent weeks, mortgage insurers have flagged more than 9,600 ZIP codes in at least 34 states where they won’t insure certain types of home loans — those for investment properties or second homes, those with riskier adjustable-rate or interest-only mortgages, or for buyers making down payments of less than 3 percent
The entire states of California, Florida, Arizona, Michigan, Ohio and Nevada — which have seen the highest foreclosure rates and the worst price declines — are blackballed on some mortgage insurers’ lists.
