Message	buying more home than they could afford. Once interest rates went up, they could no longer afford the payments. Why anyone would get into an ARM when the rates are at their lowest is beyond me. That's the time to lock into long term rates before they go up. I locked in at 5.5% on a 30 year fixed 5 years ago. I have yet to see rates much (if any) lower.
