The Government Goes After Loan Officers
That said, whats plain is that the SEC has opened a new front in the mortgage responsibility debate. Interstate Commerce At first it may seem odd that mortgages are a federal matter since loans are secured by real estate and nothing is more local than dirt. But both real estate and mortgages have been considered within the stream of interstate commerce for decades. The Government Goes After Loan Officers By Peter G. Miller One of the most galling aspects of the mortgage meltdown is the sense that folks who

Option ARM Borrowers Running Out Of Time
Lastly, we have the real attraction of option ARMs, the option payment itself, a payment which is insufficient to even pay off the monthly interest cost. Because Fitch says that a 40-year loan term represented 4 percent of all option ARMs in 2004 -- but 38 percent by 2007. A loan with four payment options may seem fairly understandable, but in the real world a lot of borrowers did not take out option ARMs because they wanted to make fully-amortizing payments.

High-End Foreclosures Rising Among Top Tier Homes
High-End Foreclosures Rising Among Top Tier Homes By Octavio Nuiry, RealtyTrac Staff Writer Until now, the foreclosure crisis was confined to a narrow niche of middle-class urban communities and outer-rim new housing developments where first-time homeowners and real estate speculators benefited briefly from favorable financing. But increasingly there are signs that the foreclosure problem is spilling over into wealthier areas, where prime borrowers — and even high-end real estate developers — are rapidly falling

2006: An Adjustable' Year for Foreclosures
Based on data collected between December 18 and December 21, 2006, the survey cited three major conclusions: That the overall market share of adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) as a whole declined in 2006 as the savings gap in interest rates between ARMs and fixed-rate mortgages shrank; Lenders offered greater incentives (discounts) in 2006 in order to maintain the flow of ARM originations coming in the door; and Hybrid loans — particularly the very popular 5/1 ARM where the teaser interest rate is fixed for five years before the lender can push the interest rate upward — became the most popular

Foreclosures: the Coming California Crash?
California foreclosure investors now have an opportunity to tap the knowledge of a 25-year real estate investing veteran who correctly predicted the last two major swings in the California real estate market and is on the verge of correctly predicting another. “Bruce Bruce Norris was dead right” about home prices in California doubling in the early 2000s after hitting bottom in 1997, said Michael Carney, Director of the Real Estate Research Council of Southern California. Carney went on to say that he thinks Norris’ latest prediction, made in early 2006, that foreclosures will soar and home prices will plummet in the next few years is also likely to be correct.

2007: Housing Slowdown Good for Foreclosures
The cooling real estate sector will continue to plague the national economy next year, but enough positive economic fundamentals remain in place to counteract forces threatening to push the U.S. That means 2007 should be a good year for anyone involved in the foreclosure sector of the market — whether they are real estate agents, potential home buyers or real estate investors. Some highlights of the Chapman forecast: The sky isn’t falling, but housing prices are projected to decline 2.2 housing market into a full tailspin, according to forecasters at Chapman University in Orange, Calif.

Florida Homeowners Overconfident Despite Foreclosures?
Their least concern: falling victim to mortgage fraud -- even though the survey says that Florida is the top state in the nation for such fraud (something that is, unfortunately, always associated with real estate investors working in the foreclosure arena). That report showed a 24 percent drop in home sales both year-to-date and year-over-year through May 2006. Results of a new study released last week by Attorneys Title Insurance Fund (The Fund) suggests that Florida homeowners are feeling pretty good nowadays about the value of their homes and the potential for those values to rise further in the future.

US Foreclosures a Mixed Blessing in Q2
As the most recently collected data reported today in RealtyTracs Q2 2006 U.S. Foreclosure Market Report suggests, there is both an upside and a downside to the latest numbers.

This is good news for real estate investors, agents and home buyers looking for a piece of the American Dream at a potentially more affordable price. On the flip side, however, foreclosure activity nationwide decreased 16 percent between

Motor City Tops MSA Foreclosure List in Q3
As if it wasn’t bad enough that the local economy has been steadily losing jobs in the automotive sector, Detroit reported the highest foreclosure rate of the top 100 metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) in the country for the third quarter of 2006 as well. After two straight quarters when Indianapolis, Atlanta and Dallas led the nation in foreclosure rate, Detroit took over the top spot on the RealtyTrac Q3 2006 U.S. Metropolitan Foreclosure Market Report — followed by Ft. Lauderdale and Denver .

Waning Confidence a Concern That May Help Foreclosures
Doti, president of Chapman University, updated his 2006 economic forecast for the nation, he did have one question that could throw a monkey wrench into the equation, and he called it, THE BIG IF . If housing prices plummeted like they did back in the early 1990s, the loan-to-value ratio on many mortgages might force homeowners into foreclosure, providing new opportunities for real estate investors, speculators, real estate agents and anyone looking to buy a home from the foreclosure pipeline.
