You understand that the outcome of an attempted loan modification cannot be guaranteed in any way and that the mortgage and real estate market can be volatile and subject to fluctuations based on a variety of economic conditions outside the control of HMC. Investing is an uncertain endeavor and the future is unpredictable even to those who claim to have exceptional forecasting abilities. With regard to real estate investments, appreciation of property value cannot be assured, actual rental income may vary from expected levels and many circumstances may change over time. During periodic down cycles in real estate, prices can and do fall, sometimes significantly. You understand that such price declines will occur and that certain real estate holding may not return to or exceed previous price levels. Likewise, rents are based on market conditions outside the control of HMC and property owners. During periods of economic downturn or recession, rents can decrease as the number of qualified tenants declines or the number of rental properties on the market expands. There can be no assurances that if rents do fall, that they will shortly return to previous high levels.
