The Mortgage Meltdown

“We had the greatest asset bubble in history and now that bubble is bursting. The single biggest piece of the bubble is the U.S. mortgage market and we’re probably about halfway through the unwinding and bursting of the bubble,” Tilson explains. “It may seem like all the carnage out there, we must be almost finished. But there’s still a lot of pain to come in terms of write-downs and losses that have yet to be recognized.”

In 2007, Tilson teamed up with Amherst Securities, an investment firm that specializes in mortgages. Amherst had done some financial detective work, analyzing the millions of mortgages that were bundled into those mortgage-backed securities that Wall Street was peddling. It found that the sub-primes, loans to the least credit-worthy borrowers, were defaulting. But Amherst also ran the numbers on what were supposed to be higher quality mortgages.

“It was data we’d never seen before and that’s what made us realize, ‘Holy cow, things are gonna be much worse than anyone anticipates,’” Tilson says.

“The defaults right now are incredibly high. At unprecedented levels. And there’s no evidence that the default rate is tapering off. Those defaults almost inevitably are leading to foreclosures, and homes being auctioned, and home prices continuing to fall,” Tilson explains.

“What you seem to be saying is that there is a very predictable time bomb effect here?” Pelley asks.

“Exactly. I mean, you can look back at what was written in ‘05 and ‘07. You can look at the reset dates. You can look at the current default rates, and it’s really very clear and predictable what’s gonna happen here,” Tilson says.

“How big is the potential damage from the Alt As compared to what we just saw in the sub-primes?” Pelley asks.

“Well, the sub-prime is, was approaching $1 trillion, the Alt-A is about $1 trillion. And then you have option ARMs on top of that. That’s probably another $500 billion to $600 billion on top of that,” Tilson says.

July 20th, 2009

Predatory Mortgage Lending-Loan Violations

You may be entitled to restructuring your loan through a loan modification CA homeowners program if your loan

was subject to any of the following:

1. Miscalculation of Interest
2. Inflated Appraisal
3. Illegal Loan Origination Fees
4. Yield Spread Premium
5. Illegal Kickbacks
6. Non-Disclosure of Loan Terms-Federal and State Requirements
7. Discount Points
8. Undisclosed Pre-Payment Penalties
9. Switching Rates between initial Rates and Closing

Any of these violations may fall under the T.I.L.A “Truth In Lending Act” or under the R.E.S.P.A. “Real Estate

Procedures Act.”

A well qualified attorney who specializes in the “Forensic Loan Audit” process would be able to identify and violations in the law and determine if you are entitled to a Loan restructuring under a loan modification CA program and you may entitled to a refund of all points, fees in originating your loan and interest that has been charged on the loan which could result in thousands of dollars in savings to you.  Each case is unique and the outcome may be different, but you do have laws on your side to protect you as a borrower.

It has been estimated that 82% of loans written have some type and form of a violation.  These laws are violated daily by lenders and mortgage brokers who wrote, processed, submitted and approved the loans.

The laws were enacted to protect borrowers but through the greed of some unscrupulous loan agents and brokers have completely disregarded these laws and unfortunately some loan agents and brokers were not aware they were breaking these laws.  Your loan may be an unlawful loan and you may be entitled substantial damages for these violations.  If you suspect you have a violation it would be to your benefit to have a forensic mortgage loan audit on your loan to determine the violations and potential damages or resolutions to a home loan modification CA restructuring program on your loan.  If you are behind in payments, in a notice of default or in foreclosure it would be advisable to check it out. Drop me a post and I will recommend a qualified attorney who will provide a forensic mortgage loan audit free of charge.

How To Determine If You Have A Predatory Loan Violation

July 16th, 2009

What May Cause A Loan To Be Illegal

Unaffordable Loan- You were put into a mortgage and your income is not able to pay the monthly loan payment because your loan payment is adjusting higher.

Making loans based only on the value of the collateral without regard to the borrower’s ability to repay the loan.

Bait And Switch- Were you promised a low interest rate, but then you ended up with a higher rate at closing?

Failure To Disclose Loan Terms- Federal and State laws require creditors disclose the terms of the loan to borrowers, and when those terms are not disclosed or are inaccurately disclosed these terms are in violation of the law.

If you were a victim of any of these predatory lending violations :

Misrepresentation
Fraud
Miscalculation
Mistake
Deception
Non-Disclosure
The T.I.L.A. “Truth In Lending Act”
The Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act
Federal and State Lending Provisions

You may be entitled to get back all of your origination fees “points” plus interest.  Have your loan restructured at no cost to you through a loan modification CA homeonwers program.  Obtain a better rate, new loan terms and lower payments.

To determine if you have any violations with your home mortgage loan you should have a qualified attorney who specializes in the loan mortgage audit process also know as a forensic loan audit.  I can offer some great recommendations if you need a loan audit completed on your loan and the attorneys will offer this Free Of Charge to qualified candidates.  Drop me a post or an email at mikekench@gmail.com
