The document discusses mortgages in Washington DC and the factors that contributed to the mortgage and foreclosure crisis. It notes that due to high home prices in the DC area, most homeowners put down less than 20% for a down payment on new property purchases. Homeowners often put down just 5%, 10%, or even 0% down, obtaining what are known as "no money down home loans" or "100% financing home purchase loans", through obtaining two separate loans - one for 80% of the home's value and another for the remaining 20%. More information about mortgages in Washington DC can be found on the main website.
The 2008 financial crisis was caused by a housing bubble fueled by easy credit practices. Starting in the early 2000s, US banks lowered interest rates and loosened lending standards, allowing many home buyers to purchase houses they could not afford. This led to a boom in subprime mortgages and housing prices. However, when interest rates rose in 2006, many subprime borrowers defaulted on their loans. As housing prices fell, the value of mortgage-backed securities plunged, causing billions in losses for banks and investors and leading to the failure or government bailouts of major financial institutions like Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, and AIG in 2008.
This document discusses principal reduction for underwater mortgages. It presents opposing views that principal reduction amounts to a taxpayer bailout of reckless borrowers or a bank bailout. Alternatively, principal reduction could help address the foreclosure crisis by easing the burden on homeowners. However, others warn that principal reduction may encourage strategic default and create a moral hazard by rewarding past poor behavior. The document seeks to separate fact from fiction around these perspectives on principal reduction.
1) The document discusses the sub-prime mortgage crisis that began in 2007 in the US. Sub-prime loans were given to borrowers with poor credit histories at higher interest rates due to the perceived lower risk of default during a housing boom.
2) As the housing market declined, sub-prime borrowers defaulted on their loans in large numbers, reducing the value of mortgage-backed securities and derivatives that had spread the risks throughout the global financial system.
3) The crisis led to huge write-downs by global banks and brokerages, the collapse of major financial firms like Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers, and government intervention to prop up Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The crisis spread globally
The article argues that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac do not deserve most of the blame for the housing bubble and financial crisis. It claims the private mortgage industry, which originated three quarters of risky subprime loans between 2004-2007, was the primary culprit. While Fannie and Freddie exacerbated the crisis after the fact, the author asserts they had lost significant market share by 2006 and could not have inflated the bubble. Overall, the document maintains most responsibility lies with the deregulated private mortgage industry and lack of oversight, not government-backed lenders.
US landlords will prosper as fewer opt to buy a home - FTWes Graff
Millennials and immigrants are driving increased demand for rental properties in the US as fewer people opt to buy homes. This is benefiting institutional investors who are increasing their allocation to residential real estate due to its attractive long-term income generation. Pension funds see multifamily properties as a stable investment that matches their long-term liabilities. While single-family homes present challenges to manage at scale, rental apartment buildings remain very appealing for large investors.
FHA Raises Premiums on New Mortgages in 2013Carmen Arruda
The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) announced in January 2013 that it would raise mortgage insurance premiums by 0.1% for new loans and 0.05% for loans over $625,000, and increase the minimum down payment to 5% effective in April 2013. The FHA was created in 1934 to provide low down payment mortgages nationwide, and the premium increases are intended to boost its financial reserves which have diminished due to higher rates of delinquent mortgages and reduce its overall risk.

Is FDIC Running Out of $?
By Ben Johnson, a special to NREI from OKC REview
Now that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC) has released its latest report on the nation's banking system, a popular topic of discussion is exactly how much money the FDIC has left to rescue more failed banks.
FDIC Chairman Sheila Bair said on Friday that the FDIC has plenty of funds to cover future rescues. But the tide is definitely not in the FDIC's favor, as some forecasters expect hundreds of U.S. banks to fail in the months ahead as they claw their way out of the recession.

The Federal Housing Administration is piloting a program called HAWK that would lower mortgage insurance premiums for borrowers who complete homeowner counseling. However, trade groups have criticized recent increases to FHA insurance fees as restricting housing recovery. Under the new HAWK program, homeowners could save up to $9,800 over the life of a loan by receiving counseling and making on-time payments. But the program is only a pilot currently, and some groups want to see larger reductions to annual insurance premiums to better support affordable housing.
Multimillion dollar mansion sales have increased 25% while the overall housing market has declined 30% since 2007, showing that the wealthy are faring better during the recession. Data from Birmingham, Alabama shows high-end home sales rising 21% in August 2012 compared to the previous year. Meanwhile, middle and lower classes face greater risks of poverty as one in ten New Jersey homes sold in 2011 were in foreclosure proceedings and nearly 211,000 households received foreclosure filings in February 2012, though this was a 19% drop from the prior year. However, foreclosures have disproportionately impacted African American and Latino communities.
1) The document discusses the subprime mortgage crisis that originated in the US and spread globally. It provides background on subprime mortgages and how their proliferation led to the crisis.
2) Key factors that contributed to the crisis included the housing bubble, oversupply of homes, reckless lending practices, the growth of subprime lending, and central bank policies that fueled risk-taking.
3) The crisis had severe effects, including a sharp drop in the housing market, rising mortgage default rates, the bankruptcies of mortgage lenders and investment banks highly exposed to subprime assets, and a global credit crunch.
The document discusses subprime mortgages and their effect on the Caribbean region. Subprime mortgages carried high interest rates and were issued to borrowers with low credit scores or unclear financial situations. This led to a housing bubble in the US as subprime lending increased. When the housing market declined in 2007, it caused a subprime mortgage crisis that impacted Caribbean trade, tourism, remittances, and foreign investment. The document recommends Caribbean countries analyze other industries, maximize advantages, create jobs, and diversify financial reserves to mitigate similar crises in the future.
Was the 2008 financial crisis caused by a lack of corporate ethicsHimal Bhattrai
The 2008 financial crisis was likely caused by a lack of corporate ethics in the lending and financial industries. Major lending institutions made risky sub-prime mortgages at the height of the US housing bubble that violated traditional underwriting standards, prioritizing greed over good judgment. These bad loans were then packaged and leveraged by Wall Street firms and sold to unwitting investors, exacerbating the problems. When the housing market collapsed, it triggered the downfall of major banks and a stock market plunge, resulting in the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. The paper will examine the questionable practices that led to the crisis and discuss government efforts to prevent a similar disaster in the future.
The document discusses refinancing an underwater mortgage and introduces Jill Berni and her real estate team. It provides Jill's mission statement, which is to provide exceptional real estate services and lifelong client relationships focused on solutions. It also shares satisfied client testimonials that praise Jill for helping them successfully sell a home and avoid foreclosure through refinancing.
The document lists the salaries of several CEOs, with the Walmart CEO making $35 million, the Ford CEO making $54.5 million, and the Viacom CEO making $84.5 million. It also provides information on whom to contact in government and statistics on the number of people who died of hunger and the amount of money it would take to feed the hungry for a day.

The 2008 economic crisis was caused by over-regulation that required government agencies to purchase risky subprime loans, under-regulation of deceptive lending practices and the mixing of commercial and investment banking, overconfidence in continually rising home prices, and unsustainable over-consumption fueled by easy credit. To prevent future crises, the document recommends increasing oversight of lenders, separating investment and commercial banking, and reducing risky behavior by all parties involved in the housing market.
The document discusses issues related to state sovereignty and alternatives to the federal banking system. It provides details on the success of the state-owned Bank of North Dakota, including that it has paid over $325 million in profits to the state treasury over the past 10 years and North Dakota consistently tops lists for economic performance and low unemployment. The document also outlines significant tax cuts enacted in North Dakota, totaling around $500 million in returned funds to citizens.
Only 9 cents of every $1 dollar of rent returns to owners, while 39 cents pays the mortgage on the property. Another 10 cents is spent on capital expenditures like repairs. The remaining costs include 27 cents for payroll expenses to maintain the property, and 14 cents for property taxes that support local communities. Rent payments are an important source of revenue for owners to cover these costs, maintain quality housing, and support many Americans' retirement plans through investment returns.
There is a lot of chatter about President Obama’s new homeowner mortgage reduction plan. And while it will be helpful to a small number of people, there are some fairly rigid criteria that make it difficult to access for the majority of homeowners who are in trouble.
The document discusses the origins and impacts of the economic crisis and moving forward with justice. It summarizes that deregulation in the 1980s and the rise of real estate values led to asset-based lending and the subprime mortgage market. Mortgage companies bundled loans and sold them on secondary markets. Wall Street demand for mortgages as collateral fueled subprime lending. Communities of color faced segregation and predatory lending. The document calls for systems thinking in legal advocacy to address the root causes, building coalitions, and moving towards an equitable recovery that helps those most in need and ensures opportunity for all.
Banks that received government bailouts during the financial crisis should not receive outstanding ratings under the Community Reinvestment Act regulations, as they continue to lobby for weak financial regulations so they can engage in risky behavior without consequence, seemingly expecting to be bailed out by taxpayers again. The regulations also should not allow banks to choose which parts of their business or geographic areas are evaluated, and banks should get failing grades if they discriminate or offer inferior products and services to African American and Latino communities.

Mortgage fraud is one of the fastest growing crimes in the United States, with three categories including fraud for housing, fraud for profit, and fraud for criminal enterprise. Fraud for profit schemes involve multiple industry professionals inflating property values and creating fake credit profiles for profit. Measuring risk in the housing market is difficult and often leads to underestimating risk in booms and overestimating it in recessions, contributing to issues.
The document summarizes how risky subprime mortgages originated in Southern California, facilitated by mortgage brokers pushing these loans. These brokers were a key link in a chain that stretched from mortgage lenders to Wall Street banks that packaged the loans into securities, fueling huge profits. However, as home prices declined and defaults increased, this led to billions in losses for investors in mortgage-backed securities. The boom and subsequent bust were driven by a proliferation of loosely regulated mortgage brokers that originated risky loans, often without properly informing borrowers of terms.

Blog Coverage Bella Caio Oct 10, 2008 Financial Tsunami What Brought It OnJagannadham Thunuguntla
The financial crisis was caused by loose lending standards in the US housing market and excessive risk taking by investment banks. Alan Greenspan lowered interest rates after the dot-com bubble burst and 9/11, fueling a housing boom. Banks aggressively lent to subprime borrowers and for amounts above property values. Meanwhile, investment banks like Goldman Sachs took on huge debt loads compared to equity, leaving them vulnerable to losses. The housing bubble then burst, loans defaulted, and the high leverage caused major banks like Lehman Brothers to collapse, spreading the crisis globally. Prudent regulations in India protected its banks from similar troubles.
TIME Magazine names 25 People To Blame For The Financial CrisisWayne Caswell
Homeowners of Texas (HOT) compiled the following TIME articles to provide insight into causes of the financial crisis. The authors did an outstanding job, but we contend they put too much blame on Wall Street and mortgage-backed derivatives. Some of the nation’s largest homebuilders were culprits too.
With a lack of accountability and minimal risk of lawsuits, the builders’ strong profit incentives prompted them to cut corners with substandard materials and workmanship, cover-up known defects and code violations, artificially inflate property appraisals, make risky loans, and then resell the loans to unsuspecting investors who did not understand the risks. That’s why we say companies building substandard homes share blame with those making subprime loans.
The document discusses Canadian household debt levels, which have risen substantially in recent decades. It finds that while a U.S.-style debt crisis is unlikely, Canadian personal indebtedness has become excessive relative to economic models. Growth in personal debt must slow relative to income growth over the coming years or risks of future deleveraging will increase. Both demand and supply factors have contributed to rising household debt. Demand increased due to lower rates, wealth effects, demographics, and cultural shifts. Supply increased through financial innovation, competition, and relaxed lending rules. International peers also saw rising debt, though the U.S. and U.K. experienced housing bubbles and deleveraging.
The document discusses the causes and impacts of the subprime mortgage crisis that began in 2008. It describes how loose lending practices led to many borrowers taking out loans they could not afford, resulting in mass foreclosures when borrowers defaulted. This undermined the mortgage industry and global credit markets. The crisis significantly impacted the US and European economies through loss of home equity and wealth, rising unemployment, and declining GDP.

Bharat Site Oct 3, 2008 - Inside the financial tsunami: what brought it on?Jagannadham Thunuguntla
The financial crisis was caused by imprudent lending practices in the US, especially related to real estate. Alan Greenspan loosened lending standards to boost the economy after the dot-com bust and 9/11. Banks aggressively lent to subprime borrowers and issued loans exceeding property values. When home prices declined and borrowers defaulted, banks' equity was wiped out due to high leverage ratios exceeding prudent levels. European banks were also affected as they had exposures to the US real estate market and did not follow conservative lending standards. Indian banks remained safe due to prudent banking regulations.
1) Canada's financial crisis was much milder than the US due to differences in their mortgage markets. Canada has maximum 5-year mortgage terms, mortgage interest is not tax deductible, and CMHC oversees mortgages.
2) In the US, 30-year fixed rate mortgages are common, interest is tax deductible incentivizing debt, and multiple agencies regulate housing. Securitization of mortgages led to risky lending and the financial crisis.
3) Lessons include that securitization does not solve the shortage of long-term capital. Regulation is needed for securitization. Proposals to help the US housing market include renegotiating mortgage interest rates or reducing principal amounts for

The document provides information about BBVA Compass, including:
1) It discusses the causes of the mortgage crisis and credit crunch, tracing it back to legislative changes in the 1970s that loosened mortgage requirements.
2) It provides an overview of BBVA Compass, noting it has over $65 billion in assets and 717 branches across the Sunbelt region.
3) It highlights BBVA Compass' strong capital and liquidity positions and conservative lending practices that position it well in the current economy.
The document discusses the secondary mortgage market and the role of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. It provides details on their operations before and after 1954 when their charters were updated. It also summarizes the key aspects of their placement into conservatorship in 2008, including the Treasury backing and purchase of assets to stabilize the housing market. Quotes discuss the potential for lower mortgage rates but also challenges in helping homeowners with falling home values.
1) The document discusses the history of the mortgage industry and how loose lending practices in the 2000s led to the 2008 financial crisis. Subprime loans and other risky products contributed to rising defaults.
2) Government intervention was needed to stabilize the housing market and financial system. Reforms were implemented to tighten regulations and protect consumers.
3) However, the author warns that signs like increasing subprime auto loans and loosening credit standards could lay the foundation for another housing bubble if not addressed. A wave of loan resets from programs like HAMP could also increase defaults.
1) The document discusses the history of the mortgage industry in the United States from the early 20th century to the present. It describes key events that led to the financial crisis of 2008 such as the rise of subprime lending and loosening of underwriting standards.
2) It warns that signs are emerging again that could signal a return to risky lending practices, such as increased subprime auto and payday loans. Loosening standards for government-backed mortgages are also a concern.
3) The summary cautions that while regulations aim to prevent past issues, lenders themselves must prioritize responsible lending over short-term profits to avoid trapping borrowers and potentially leading to another housing crisis.
The document provides an overview of the causes of the global economic crisis that began in 2007. It discusses how reckless and irresponsible lending practices, including low documentation loans and increasing home prices due to speculation, led to many homeowners defaulting on subprime mortgages in 2006. These defaults were bundled into mortgage-backed securities that were often given high credit ratings and sold off, obscuring the risks. A perfect storm of factors like off-balance sheet vehicles and the "wealth effect" that encouraged risky behavior ultimately caused the system to unravel.
The document summarizes the causes and effects of the 2008 financial crisis. It identifies low interest rates, lack of regulations, risky subprime lending, securitization of mortgages, and conflicts of interest between banks, rating agencies, and borrowers as contributing factors. Major effects included destruction of wealth, rising poverty, job losses, increased food stamp usage, and a domino effect of bank failures exacerbating the crisis. The crisis disproportionately hurt the poor and middle class while concentrating more wealth among the richest 1%.
This document provides a business analysis of Nationstar Mortgage Holdings, Inc. and the U.S. mortgage industry. It discusses the history of the mortgage industry and how the subprime lending crisis and housing bubble burst led to the dissolution of many mortgage lenders. This created opportunities for mortgage servicing companies to acquire servicing rights. The document also analyzes laws and regulations that impacted the industry, including those establishing programs to help homeowners, as well as trends showing non-bank servicers expanding as big banks exit the industry.
