St Louis Mortgage Lending and Loan Reduction News: 26 Percent Of Home Sales Are Foreclosures And Short Sales

According to a RealtyTrac report released yesterday, 26 percent of all homes sold last year were foreclosures and short sales.

Homes already foreclosed on and repossessed by banks, called REOs (real estate owned), sold for an average of 36 percent less than normal sales, RealtyTrac reported.

Meanwhile, the discount for homes sold while they were still in the foreclosure process (short sales) was 15 percent as followed by the St Louis Refinancing Group news team.

"It's like the post-holiday sales at

Macy's where they're trying to clear out unwanted inventory," said Anthony Sanders, a real estate professor at George Mason University.

Nevada had the highest percentage of distressed sales of any state at 57 percent.

That was, however, less than 2009, when 67 percent of sales there were foreclosures.

In Arizona, 49 percent of sales were distressed properties; in California, 44 percent; and in Florida, 36 percent. Foreclosed properties sold for the biggest discount which ended up being 50 percent off in New Jersey.

These investment opportunities are not going away. Nearly 30 percent of mortgage borrowers are underwater on their loans, owing more than their homes are worth, according to Stan Humphries, chief economist for Zillow, the real estate web site.

These owners are very vulnerable to foreclosure so the number of distressed properties that will go on sale only the next year or two will probably remained high.

St Louis Finance and Loan Modification News: General Motors Gets Sweetheart Tax Break
St Louis Home Mortgage and Commercial Loans | Principal Loan Reduction
877-334-0210 or 314-334-0210 | Floyd Tapia, Commercial Lending and Loan Reduction

 The United States government is giving a sweetheart deal to General Motors worth approximately $14 billion in tax revenue.

The company posted their first profitable year since 2004 according to St Louis finance experts.

But GM won't have to worry about being hit with a big tax bill on earnings because billions in previous

losses will shelter it from taxes for years to come.

That break will reduce GM's U.S. tax bill by an estimated $14 billion in the coming years and its global taxes by close to $19 billion, according to a company filing.

Companies typically get a tax break on future taxes because of past losses.

But in most cases they lose that tax break during bankruptcy, because the losses are offset by the "income" the company receives from shedding its debt.

Since the company shed $30 billion in debt during bankruptcy, it should have wiped out most of the tax break.

GM even warned it expected to lose those tax breaks shortly before filing for Chapter 11 protection.

But somehow, that never happened, and the automaker was able to keep most of its tax breaks, essentially receiving a $14 billion "gift" from the government.

While it's unclear why the automaker was allowed to carry over its losses, some experts insist that GM got preferential treatment.

"A lot of things were done differently here" said Heidi Sorvino, head of the bankruptcy practice at Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith.

She said that the tax break was just another example of how GM's bankruptcy process was unlike any previous bankruptcies.

One reason the government might have let General Motors claim the loss, was to reduce the perceived cost of the bailout, said Linus Wilson, finance professor at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette.

By allowing GM to carry over its losses, the reduced tax collections from the company were unlikely to be counted under most accountings.

But the question has to be asked: Where are these types of free financial "gifts" or write-offs for the small and medium business owner in this country?

St Louis Finance and Refinancing Loan News: US Postal Service In Financial Trouble
 St Louis Mortgage Broker and Commercial Loans | Principal Loan Reduction
877-334-0210 or 314-334-0210 | Floyd Tapia, Commercial Lending and Loan Compliance Advocate

 The U.S. Postal Service (USPS), a self-supporting government agency that receives no tax dollars, said it suffered a loss of $329 million in the first quarter of federal fiscal year 2011. That was compared with a loss of $297 million a year earlier.

The agency has been suffering from an ongoing decline in mail volume, which has undercut revenues, while

retiree health care costs have been straining its reserves.

Excluding costs related to retiree benefits and adjustments to workers' compensation liability, the Postal Service said it had net income of $226 million in the first quarter, which ended December 31, 2010.

The agency said it will be forced to default on some of its financial obligations this year unless Congress changes a 2006 law requiring it to pay between $5.4 and $5.8 billion into its prepaid retiree health benefits each year.

The Postal Service has taken a number of steps to increase revenue, including marketing initiatives and price increases. The agency raised rates an average of 3.6 percent in January 2011.

It is also perusing more dramatic changes. Last year, the USPS submitted a request to the Postal Regulatory Commission, which oversees the agency, to eliminate Saturday mail service.

The commission has yet to respond to the request, but a spokesman said it is in the "final phase" of making its decision.

The USPS has also cut back on hours to save money. The agency expects to eliminate 40 million work hours this fiscal year as part of a plan to save $2 billion.

However, the service is currently negotiating new contracts with the American Postal Workers Union and the National Rural Letter Carriers Association, which will probably object to cutting hours.

But it's probably time that postal workers wake up and smell the coffee. With lower mailings which means lower profits, they must use common sense and realize they can no longer demand the same amount of hours.

They will have to compromise for the well being of the USPS just like millions of others have in the private working sectors.

On the bright side, the Postal Service said improving economic conditions suggest the "worst of the precipitous volume decline during the recession is over."

But mail volume continues to be anemic, rising only 1.5 percent in the first quarter as economic growth remains sluggish.

St Louis Mortgage Refinancing and Principal Loan Reduction News: Housing Recovery May Be A Year Away?
St Louis Home Mortgage and Commercial Loans | Principal Reduction Program
877-334-0210 or 314-334-0210 | Floyd Tapia, Commercial Lending and Loan Modification Advocate

 According to Bank of America Merrill Lynch (BOAML) strategists, the hoped for recovery for home prices appears to be still more than a year away and most St Louis mortgage brokers agree.

"Currently, our view is toward the

benign side relative to the market’s expectations, we think," BOAML strategists wrote in a non-agency MBS Research Alert.

Chris Flanagan, Ryan Asato and Timothy Isgro said their model calls for home prices reaching a bottom in the second quarter of 2012.

The analysts expect the Standard & Poor's Case Shiller home price index to fall another 4.1 percent from its third-quarter level.

They said the index is down 3.4 percent from its June peak and not far off its low in May 2009.

The BOAML strategists believe there's "evidence that home buyer outlook for prices is correlated to subsequent short-term home price movements."

The homebuyer outlook data is gathered in the monthly survey by the National Association of Realtors (NAR).

The data implies the Case-Shiller index for the largest 20 metropolitan areas of the country will bottom out in January at 5.6 percent lower than the June peak.

The index will then start climbing in February, according to Flanagan, Asato and Isgro.

"We think the December reversal in buyer outlook is a positive short-term sign for housing," they said.

They conclude: "It is commensurate with the broader increase in consumer confidence and also provides a measure of support for the price increase in non-agency MBS since the start of the year."
