Its not hard to borrow towards real esate simply becuase if you do fail on your payments, they repossess a house worth equal to or more then what they lent after they factor in the down payment. This was also after trying through three or four different mortgage brokers and finally found one willing to file inaccurate data. Also the 1 million dollars is a combination of the car and two houses as well as a credit card. Had he actually gone and bought any of those prior to the 700,000 dollar house he would be immediately denied.
