St Louis Finance and Refinancing Loan News: US Postal Service In Financial Trouble

 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.

 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 Finance and Mortgage Broker News: Shadow Inventory Will Push Foreclosures
St Louis Home Mortgage and Commercial Loans | Principal Reduction Program
877-334-0210 or 314-334-0210 | Floyd Tapia, Commercial Lending and Loan Compliance Advocate

 Two reports from separate credit rating agencies are drawing the same conclusion and that is foreclosures will reach new heights in 2011, even after setting records in 2010 according to St Louis finance experts.

"DBRS expects foreclosure filings and completed foreclosures to reach record levels in 2011 as alternatives such as modifications for seriously delinquent borrowers

are exhausted," said Kathleen Tillwitz, an operational risk strategist at the rating agency.

She goes on to say: "Consequently, losses to residential mortgage-backed securities will likely increase as REO inventories are sold at deep discounts causing writedowns in transactions particularly in the areas of the subordinate tranches."

Standard & Poor's ratings currently estimates that the principal balance of distressed homes amounts to about $450 billion, representing nearly one-third of the nonagency RMBS market currently outstanding, according to the firm's fourth quarter 2010 report on foreclosure timelines.

S&P expects that it will take 49 months to clear the supply of distressed homes on the market in the U.S. which is an 11 percent increase over the previous quarter and a considerable 40 percent increase from the 4th quarter in 2009.

S&P reports that the volume of distressed residential mortgage properties that are not associated with Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac continues to fall, but at an ever-slowing pace.

The company estimates that the principal balance of these distressed homes amounts to about $450 billion, representing nearly one-third of the private RMBS market outstanding. And in some markets, clearing the shadow inventory will take a very long time.

"The shadow inventory in the New York MSA will take the longest to clear estimating 130 months as of the fourth-quarter in 2010. That is at least twice as long as it will take in any of the other top 20 MSAs and 2.7 times the average time to clear for the U.S. as a whole," the S&P report states.

The report concludes: "This is primarily due to very low liquidation rates in New York."

St Louis Finance and Principal Loan Reduction News: Only 30 Percent Of Foreclosures On The Housing Market
St Louis Home Mortgage and Commercial Loans | Principal Reduction Program
877-334-0210 or 314-334-0210 | Floyd Tapia, Commercial Lending and Loan Compliance Advocate

RealtyTrac Senior Vice President Rick Sharga said major banks currently hold roughly 1 million REO, or homes repossessed through foreclosure, but only 30 percent have actually made it onto the market.

According to its year-end report, foreclosure filings reached a new high in 2010 and should climb even higher this year, possibly surpassing 4 million filings according to several St Louis mortgage brokers.

And that's not counting the more than 5 million delinquent loans that have yet to enter the

initial stages of the foreclosure process, Sharga said.

The major kink in the housing market's recovery, and for the macro economy overall, is the work left to be done on homes currently in the foreclosure process, those about to enter it and the amount of repossessed homes the banks must shed.

Striking a proper balance on how to mange this shadow inventory of foreclosures is vital for the banks to show a healthy balance sheet while not dumping too many distressed properties onto the market, further dragging down home prices and values.

A recent study from Morgan Stanley showed the shadow inventory, those properties facing imminent default, evolving from mostly sub-prime and Alt-A loans to containing more prime loans as elevated unemployment levels have pushed more homeowners behind on their mortgage.

Analysts said that some 8 million repossessions would need to be liquidated over the next five years before the market stabilizes.

Adding to the problem are recent issues the banks are having processing the paperwork.

In October 2010, the banks had to hold up foreclosures to refile affidavits signed improperly in many states, pushing more than 250,000 foreclosure cases into 2011.

Reports recently showed that the problem may have spread to the notices of default as well.

And in the 23 states where lenders must foreclose on a homeowner through the court system, backlogs of cases have formed month-long delays.

Sharga said a court clerk in Florida, one of the states with the longest traffic jams, told him between 500,000 and 600,000 cases are yet to be heard.

Sharga said he's encouraged by the uptick in demand for REO.

"We've seen more traffic on our site, and even more buyers raising their hand asking for help from a Realtor," he said.

Sharga continues: "This means they're getting serious about buying again." He also said that the most traffic comes from Southwestern states and Florida.

ST LOUIS COUPON and MOBILE NEWS: Are Paper Coupons Going The Way Of 8-Track Tapes

STLTEXT.org Mobile Ads | 314-698-4092
(TEXT) stltext   info (TO)  368674

Retail stores, restaurants, auto repair, grocery chains, food and drug manufacturers, hair salons, dentists, veterinarians, real estate agents and even coupon marketers themselves are now going electronic on the Internet.

You no longer need a pair of scissors, a magnifying glass and a Sunday paper for locating St Louis deals and discounts.

Simply visit a Web site, type in codes, and you will find all the coupons waiting for you, electronically, in your e-mail box or even at a store's cash register.

The latest and most innovative way of getting St Louis coupons is via text messaging to your cell phone or by entering your favorite store's texting code. American Idol made this new form of advertising and communication a household event.

These companies are hoping that these electronic coupons, deals and discounts will revive the already dying paper coupon business as it has the famous Yellow Pages books.

A shocking 0.5 or half of one percent of the total 285 billion coupons issued in 2009 were ever redeemed. These statistics were provided by the coupon processor NCH themselves showing this is down from an average of 1 percent just a decade ago.

The overwhelming problem is that newspaper readership is declining. Thus, fewer people are looking at Sunday newspapers and circulars.

And the younger shoppers or Generation X as they have been dubbed prefer to read their news online with over 50,000,000 doing so with their brand new smartphones.

The hectic pace nowadays mean fewer people take the time to clip, organize and sort coupons each week.

Think about how much time you spend on your cell phone or computer compared to reading a newspaper.

Billions of people keep their mobile phones close to them most if not all of the time for talking or texting. This is why the advertising industry has gone not only to the Internet but has recently gone mobile as St Louis Mobile Coupons website has done.

Their are many good reasons for companies making the move to the e-coupon form of advertising including:

  • Redemption rates are much higher and can be as high as 12 percent although the technology is so new that the marketing industry refuses to be more specific.
  • Redemptions are easier and quicker to track. Plus, if they appear on your cell phone, you are less likely to lose that coupon. And you can send or forward the mobile coupon as a text message to family and friends. Talk about referral marketing at its best.
  • They can now get more information about who's buying their products.
  • They can use these newer forms of advertising to cultivate loyal customers by giving additional savings and discounts to shrewd consumers who sign up for a subscription via their mobile phone. And why not... over 81 percent of cell phone users have unlimited texting capabilities thus making it free for everyone.
  • And finally, they are more environmentally friendly. Going green can be fun and at the same time save you tremendous amounts of money at your local retailer!
