The Mortgage Meltdown

October 30th, 2009


Watch CBS News Videos Online‘ >Loan Modification Ca Housing Crisis

“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.

The program applies only to loans that are owned or guaranteed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.

How A Loan Modification Ca Agreement Can Help You

April 26th, 2009

How Can A Loan Modification Ca Agreement Help You?

 

Can a loan modification Ca agreement protect your home from impending foreclosure? The answer is yes, it can. A loan modification takes place when a lender accepts to alter the terms and conditions of your existing loan. The idea is to make the payments reasonable for you so that you can pay off the loan with ease.

 

Loan modification programs are now being provided by numerous lenders and financial service providers to assist people who are facing foreclosure or experiencing difficulties to get even with their mortgage payments. As a consequence of the present economic scenario, increasing numbers of people are being compelled to search for a means so that they can prevent losing their homes.

 

A loan modification agreement is not the same as a forbearance agreement. A loan modification Ca agreement works as a solution for borrowers who would not have the capacity to pay off their current loans whereas a forbearance agreement offers relief to the borrowers to solve their short-term financial difficulties.

 

Federal loan modification programs rework the terms and conditions of your existing mortgage in such a way that it enables you to make reasonable mortgage payments and live in your home. If you became unemployed for a limited period of time, then these programs might incorporate summing up your missed payments at the end of your loan term. 

 

A reduced interest rate is another type of loan modification. Some years back, a number of activities in the mortgage market were not entirely considered as principled and if you had fallen prey to any of them, you might have a more than usual interest rate. In such a situation, the loan can be adjusted to incorporate a reduced interest rate and as a consequence, a reduced payment.

 

One more popular type of loan modification Ca program is switching the form of loan that you have. When you have an adjustable rate mortgage, the loan modification company might permit you to switch your existing loan to a fixed rate mortgage. Most probably, you would have reduced payments and the amount of payment would be equal every month and would not vary according to the prime rate.

 

When you have the risk of losing your home, there are options to prevent foreclosure. You should not hang around searching for a solution to avoid foreclosure and instead go for loan modification.
