The Government Goes After Loan Officers
In its 1980 McLean decision , the Supreme Court said “mortgage obligations physically and constructively were traded as financial instruments in the interstate secondary mortgage market.” The SEC complaint reflects the McLean decision because it argues that mortgages are routinely bought from local originators, packaged on Wall Street and involve some use of the mail system.

How Much for Those Lender Assets in the Window?
If most of this debt is good then perhaps $700 billion will be sufficient to re-start the market, especially if Uncle Sam can get some discounts.

Check the history of the price reductions. Check them every 30 days?

Local Market Perspective: Seattle, Wash.
The Seattle market is not what you see on the news, hear on the radio, or read in the paper in terms of the rest of the nation’s foreclosure woes. Here are some things to keep in mind when investing in the Seattle market: Land is an extremely limited resource in this city. The Seattle metro area has a strong economic foundation with many companies doing extraordinarily well due to international business. Over the past three months, my clients and I have presented nine contracts to pre-foreclosure, REO and short sale sellers. Out of those nine contracts, nine have
