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.

Where to find the best deals on foreclosures
Our analysis of nationwide foreclosure property sales in the last seven months shows that while some areas of the country documented a plethora of properties in foreclosure and big savings on foreclosure purchases, other areas reported relatively low foreclosure inventories and smaller average savings on foreclosure purchases. Those types of bargains are well within the parameters of what most experienced investors consider a sound investment, even in areas where home value appreciation is relatively slow. It’s important for buyers and investors who are interested in the foreclosures market to carefully evaluate local market conditions before diving into foreclosures in any given area.

This new prepayment policy, said Laurent Bossard, WMC’s chief executive officer, “provides borrowers with enhanced flexibility to avoid prepayment fees.” “Just as in the case with WMC, the Wachovia initiative will change the mortgage debate in Washington,” added RealtyTrac’s Saccacio.
