No Mortgage Meltdown For These Banks
But the real story with foreclosures is different: The fact that a loan is delinquent does not mean foreclosure is sure to follow.

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.

National Registration For Loan Officers Becomes Reality
But the real story is different: Mandatory registration will potentially allow mortgage investors worldwide to rank loan officer performance — and to refuse deals from those with high levels of foreclosures and delinquencies. Seen another way, the new law makes mortgage lending more transparent, something which will reduce foreclosure rates, cut lender losses and make mortgages more enticing to investors worldwide. “Across the country we carefully license real estate brokers, lawyers and doctors,” says James J.

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.
