Sub-prime mortgages and segregation: What did we gain?

23 November, 2011

Sub-prime mortgages were supposed to put an end to segregated neighbourhoods by allowing affordable housing to more people. But a new study shows that better access to mortgages leads to more – not less – racial segregation.

More Homeowners Missing Mortgage Payments [FOX 11-08-2011]

16 November, 2011

The U. S. subprime mortgage crisis was one of the first indicators of the late-2000s financial crisis, characterized by a rise in subprime mortgage delinquencies and foreclosures, and the resulting decline of securities backed by said mortgages. The ratio of lower-quality subprime mortgages originated rose from the historical 8% or lower range to approximately 20% from 2004-2006, with much higher ratios in some parts of the U. S. A high percentage of these subprime mortgages, over 90% in 2006 for example, were adjustable-rate mortgages. These two changes were part of a broader trend of lowered lending standards and higher-risk mortgage products. Further, U. S. households had become increasingly indebted, with the ratio of debt to disposable personal income rising from 77% in 1990 to 127% at the end of 2007, much of this increase mortgage-related.

REMEDIES IN REAL ESTATE – Randy Kelton

Evidence of mortgage fraud time travel.

http://dailybail.com/home/taxpayer-funded-mortgage-fraud-101.html

Here’s a hint – MERS assigns to Wells Fargo.

Same day, same person, same notary assigns from Wells Fargo to Fannie Mae.

From one of the comments at the OP on Foreclosure Hamlet:

“So Janice works for Franklin American Mort Corp. in Flint, MI and Assigns the mortgage as an Asst. Sec’y for MERS to Wells Fargo in Iowa, and she has the assignment notarized in Dakota County, Minnesota.”

“Then, on the same day, she also works for Wells Fargo in Iowa, and assigns the mortgage to Fannie Mae in Philadelphia, PA and has it notarized again in Dakota County, Minnesota?”

“First, Lets just assume that it’s legal to have an assignment of mortgage from a company in Flint, MI to be notarized in Minnesota for a company located in Iowa. And then let’s also assume that a company in Iowa can have an Assignment of mortgage notarized in Minnesota for a company in PA.”

“Is this sort of behavior legal? Or could it be FRAUD? Hmmmmmm, Flint, MI to Dakota, MN, a mere 581.8 miles apart. That’s nearly a 12 hour drive w/o any highway mishaps, oh, and you better have the ability to walk on water, otherwise, its a 688 mile drive under Lake Michigan and over 12 hours. Typically, banking hours are between 8am & 5pm. That’s a total of 9 hours. Maybe she should have saved gas and just driven to Iowa. It’s only 10 hours away.”

Pretty neat trick huh?

There is something very sinister about this amazing time travel. It is my belief that these individual mortgage obligations live in more than one savvy MBS investor’s “book.” Each manifestation of the obligation is insured against default for the full outcome based appraisal “value.”

Each investor is made whole via insurance and thanks to AIG, who of course was caught by surprise, has no choice but to dump the whole mess on the taxpayer. Meanwhile, the “servicer” purchases (for pennies on the fiat) the right to pursue the extinguished debt and seek as many deficiency judgments as possible.

Not to mention the fact that clear chain of title on millions of homes (in default or not) are destroyed. Further, if the obligations fail to make their way to the trusts within the REMIC window, throw massive tax evasion into the mix.

HUD GIVING $50,000 TO HOMEOWNERS BEHIND ON MORTGAGE 7-5-2011

25 August, 2011

The Emergency Homeowners Loan Program will offer a zero interest, forgivable bridge loan to homeowners who have experienced a substantial loss of income (a reduction of at least 15%) due to unemployment or underemployment caused by adverse economic conditions or medical condition. Approved homeowners are eligible to receive one-time EHLP assistance to pay certain arrearages to bring them current, as well as ongoing monthly assistance to help them to make their monthly first lien mortgage payments (including payments of principal, interest, taxes, and insurances). Assistance is limited to a maximum duration of 24 months, or up to a maximum loan amount of $50,000 in mortgage payment assistance, whichever occurs first. The EHLP loan is secured by a junior lien against the approved homeowner’s principal residence and is forgivable over a 5-year principal reduction period.

For homeowners–making mortgage payments is a must to keep your house, but if you’re in danger of foreclosure, a new federal program could help. It’s called the Emergency Homeowners Loan Program (EHLP), and it could be the extra push that people need to prevent foreclosure.
