Long-Term Solution for Fannie and Freddie Dilemma
home mortgages. 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. Second, some people think it would be a really good idea to dismember Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. "I say that we cant let them go fast enough," explains a commenter by the name of Wazzel who posted on the Washington Long-Term Solution for Fannie and Freddie Dilemma By Peter G.

Wachovia Changes The Lending Game
More significantly — and unlike Wachovia’s competitors — it’s making it easier for borrowers to dump option-ARMs by waiving the prepayment penalties routinely associated with such loans. “Effectively immediately,” says the company, “Wachovia is waiving all prepayment fees associated with its Pick-A-Pay mortgage to allow customers complete flexibility in their home financing decisions. If that happens, the Wachovia plan may well be responsible for saving tens of thousands of families from foreclosure.” Washington On Capitol Hill, both the House and the Senate have passed measures

Screech from "Saved by the Bell" in Foreclosure
The Associated Press is reporting that actor Dustin Diamond from televisions "Saved by the Bell" is selling T-shirts to help bail his home out of foreclosure. "Diamond, 29, is trying to sell nearly 30,000 shirts – at $15 or $20 (autographed) each – to supplement the income he makes as a standup comic so he doesn’t have to move from his Port Washington home, about 25 miles north of Milwaukee." And Diamond has to come up with around $250,000 to avoid the foreclosure. This is different from your typical foreclosur e because it doesnt involve a lender foreclosing on a defaulted loan; it involves a landowner foreclosing on a land contract, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel .

Study Forecasts Rising Subprime Foreclosures
The study argues that subprime foreclosures will heavily impact the overall housing market because subprime loans now make up a quarter of all home loans. It warns cities in California, Nevada, New Jersey, New York and Michigan, as well as the greater Washington, D.C. That’s because the borrower is the only party who is purely motivated to avoid foreclosure. A new study released yesterday by the Center for Responsible Lending projects that one out of five subprime mortgages originated in the past two years will end in foreclosure, costing homeowners as much as $164 billion. “This rate is nearly double the projected rate of subprime loans made in 2002, and it exceeds the worst foreclosure experience in the modern mortgage market, which occurred during the “Oil Patch” disaster of the 1980s.

Meanwhile, the rising flood of foreclosures promises to become a major presidential campaign issue in the weeks and months ahead because an alarming 2 million American homeowners could lose their homes by November 2008. Hillary Rodham Clinton wants to put an end to prepayment penalties for home mortgages and to set up a $2 billion federal fund to help homeowners avoid foreclosure.

Another Approach to $700 Billion Bailout
Below are excerpts from an article he wrote about these alternatives. "One alternative is to simply offer low-interest loans to borrowers who currently have toxic mortgages. "Figures developed by Rick Sharga, senior vice president at RealtyTrac, show that the likely cost of low interest loans would be roughly $220 billion — hardly cheap, but a lot less expensive than the $700 billion plan now being discussed in Washington. "Sharga's million homes are likely to be in the "process of foreclosure" during the coming 12 to 18 months. Peter Miller, author of the Common-Sense Mortgage, has offered up some alternatives to the proposed $700 billion bailout plan.
