Long-Term Solution for Fannie and Freddie Dilemma
Share values have dropped more 90 percent, investors have lost more than $100 billion, and both companies were rescued by the federal government earlier this month, placed in a government conservatorship run by the newly created Federal Housing Finance Agency. If Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac collapse the result would be the wholesale destruction of the national mortgage system; a virtual halt to home sales because few local mortgages would be available; soaring interest rates because few loans would be available and a level of losses throughout the economy unseen since the Great Depression.

Tips for Buying Short Sales from the Lender
With more and more sellers unloading their homes for less than what they owe on their mortgages, now is a good time for investors to start negotiating “short sales” with lenders . Next, when you talk with the lender's loss mitigator, you'll want to find out three things: • Will the lender agree to a short sale; • What additional information they'll need to complete the process; • Request the “payoff quote schedule,” which is what the lender thinks they are owed. Real estate investors can find good deals as long as you are aware of the extra time and work required to make it happen.

California Foreclosures 2007: Steady As She Goes
Through November, RealtyTrac tallied nearly 130,000 properties that entered some stage of foreclosure in California alone during 2006; accounting for roughly 11 percent of the nation’s foreclosures for the same period. Only a slight uptick in job creation throughout California is expected, along with low housing affordability, a larger inventory of unsold houses, declining home prices, lower sales volume and less residential construction. A dubious honor at best, the Golden State maintained a level of foreclosure activity during the past year that kept it in the nation’s upper echelon in terms of state foreclosure totals.
