St Louis Refinance and Principal Loan Reduction News: Regulators Push For 20 Percent Down Payments

The Dodd-Frank financial overhaul law enacted last year enabled regulators to define a so-called gold-standard residential mortgage that would be exempt from costly new rules according to St Louis mortgage brokers.

At least three agencies including the Federal Reserve, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency have backed a proposal to require home buyers to put down at least 20 percent of the sales price in order to obtain one of these "qualified residential mortgages."

One proposal would also require borrowers to maintain a 75 percent loan-to-value ratio for refinances, and a 70 percent loan-to-value for cash-out refinances in which the borrower refinances into a larger loan, according to people familiar with the matter.

Mortgage-finance giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac would also be exempt from the rules while they remain in conservator-ship, according to these people.

The United States government took over the firms in 2008, and the Obama administration has proposed eventually winding them down.

The behind-the-scenes debate over the proposal could have far-reaching implications for how Americans finance loans, because it addresses how much equity new borrowers should have in their homes.

It is unclear whether the proposal will garner support among other regulators and be acceptable to the White House and Congress.

Altogether, six federal agencies which includes the three supporting the proposal plus the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the Federal Housing Finance Agency and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) must sign off on the proposal before it is released for public comment.

It could not be determined whether all the agencies would support the 20 percent down-payment standard.

At a congressional hearing, HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan said no deal has been reached yet, and that any plan could instead spell out options.

At a separate hearing, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said, "We've got to be careful that we get it right."

He added, "I'm not sure how much longer it's going to take, but it's going to take a bit longer than we initially expected."

Meanwhile, some lawmakers expressed concerns that the new rules might make it too hard for homeowners to qualify for less risky, and less costly, home loans.

Sen. Kay Hagan (Democrats, North Carolina) told Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke that several lawmakers "are really concerned about not making it so restrictive that we can't have as many well-qualified loans as possible."

The proposal was crafted in response to a provision in Dodd-Frank that aimed to improve mortgage-lending standards.

Loans that don't meet the standards for "qualified residential mortgages" and are sold to investors as securities will be subject to a "risk retention" rule, which could raise borrowing costs for homeowners.

The risk-retention rule requires banks to keep 5 percent of the value of all mortgages they securitize on their books.

During the housing boom, many lenders passed on all of their mortgages, and all of the risk, to investors.

It was designed to force lenders to have "skin in the game" when selling groups of mortgages packaged as securities.

Critics of the risk-retention rule said it could raise costs for traditionally safer lending products such as long-term, fixed-rate loans with full income documentation.

A coalition of consumer advocacy groups and the real-estate industry have warned that defining the rule too narrowly could raise borrowing costs for millions of creditworthy borrowers.

Regulators must issue a rule defining "qualified residential mortgages" by April, and had initially planned to publish a draft proposal late last year.

But the process has been delayed by a disagreement about whether to include in the rule national standards for loan servicers, such as how to modify loans for troubled borrowers.

The new proposal reflects a compromise among the regulators to include some standards for how and when banks modify loans.

 There are new reports coming from the White House stating that the Obama administration has issued a White Paper strongly recommending the gradual elimination of government-sponsored mortgage backers Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac according to St Louis mortgage brokers.

It has included three different options for reducing the role the U.S. government plays in the

mortgage market, the Washington official said.

The three options in the administration's white paper were outlined in published reports in February 2011.

The most conservative of the three options would involve no government role in the mortgage market beyond existing federal agencies, such as the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), according to the Wall Street Journal.

The two other options relate to the government's place in the secondary mortgage market, previously filled by Fannie and Freddie.

Under one option, the government would backstop mortgages during times of "market stress," while the other recommends that the government be involved at all times.

In addition, officials could also reduce the maximum loan limit for mortgages that Fannie and Freddie are allowed to buy, and encourage them to raise the fees they charge banks to guarantee mortgages.

Other options that could be discussed in the white paper are gradual increases in the minimum down payments on government-backed loans, and an accelerated reduction in Fannie and Freddie's loan portfolios according to St Louis finance news reports.

St Louis Loan Audit News: Taxpayers Brace For Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Losses
St Louis Home Mortgage and Commercial Loans | Principal Reduction

877-334-0210 or 314-334-0210 | Floyd Tapia

Consumers are now worried that bailing out Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will cost them about $154 billion under the most likely scenario for home prices, the mortgage giants' regulator recently announced.

But the bill could end up much greater nearly twice the $135 billion already spent if grimmer projections prove true and the economy slides back into a double-dip recession according to St Louis lending experts.

The projections, based on the results of a home-price "stress test" by the Federal Housing Finance Agency, offered the first public estimates of the final cost of the government's rescue of the mortgage-finance firms, which is on track to become the most expensive legacy of the 2008 financial crisis.

Under the regulator's most positive home-price scenario, Fannie and Freddie would lose $6 billion over the next three years and they would still have to ask the government for 11 times that amount to make dividend payments.

On its most likely projection which assumes an end to the housing crisis is close and that home prices will stop falling soon, it will still lose $19 billion during that same period.

On the other hand, if the economy slides back into recession and home prices fall by another 20 to 25 percent, the companies could cost taxpayers an additional $124 billion and that's before any dividend payments are made.

Another drop in values could prove fatal to this already dying economy leading to more delinquent borrowers with fewer options in stopping foreclosure.

Price declines could also lead to additional losses on the nearly 210,000 homes the firms have taken back through foreclosure.

Fannie and Freddie own or guarantee approximately 50 percent of the nation's $10.6 trillion in mortgages.

While the Obama administration has said the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program could ultimately cost taxpayers a fraction of the initial investment, the tab for Fannie and Freddie has swelled to larger proportions as mortgage delinquencies have mounted.

Federal policymakers have relied heavily on the firms to help stabilize the housing sector, which together with the FHA have backed or bought nine in ten new loans this year, according to Inside Mortgage Finance.
