FINALLY, a Cabinet Secretary, with a vested interest in his job!!

.
It seems that Tim Geitner has a house he's taking a beating on. As President BOHICA's head money guy Geitner faces the same problem millions of Americans face, he's upside down, with respect to the mortgage, on his current home.
.
Let's just hope, that he's interested enough in his own plight, to fix this situation for everyone.

NEW YORK -- The real estate market's troubles are hitting close to home for Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner.

After reducing the price on his house in a tony New York City suburb to less than he paid for it, Geithner still couldn't sell and recently rented it out instead, according to real estate agents familiar with the deal.

Geithner put his five-bedroom Tudor near leafy Larchmont on the market for $1.635 million in February, after heading to Washington for his job as the nation's top economic official.

A few weeks after the asking price was dropped to $1.575 million, the home was rented for $7,500 a month on May 21, said the agents, Scott Stiefvater of Stiefvater Real Estate and Debbie Meiliken of Keller Williams Realty New York.

.
My question is this, did the DNC find him a renter, or did some "agency" really do it? Either way, $7500 per month is stiff!!
.
And WTF ever happened to HLF!? Where did he / she go?

You have to ask yourself, "Self, how does he have a $1.6 million house on a Cabinet Secretary Salary of around $190k?"

I'll bet the DNC IS the renter. What was Geithner doing before he became Treasury Secretary?

HLF disappeared about the time Poots showed up. Hmmmmm.

Those numbers actually sound about right for the property and location.
