There is one thing I can't understand about all of these resets.
Aren't all of these resets a transition from a fixed teaser rate to an adjustable rate? Isn't that rate tied to LIBOR? Such as 2% points over LIBOR?
Isn't LIBOR currently at about 2%? So this means that all of these mortgage holders will have to make payments based on 4% rates? Unless the holder of the mortgage has to greatly increase principle payments, this doesn't seem like such a big deal.
Heck, that's nothing compared to the coming CRE crash.

I would like to submit the following chart for the contest:
