St Louis Mortgage Refinancing and Lending News: More Loan Modification Options Coming

Six months after the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) announced an $11 billion refinancing initiative for these “underwater” borrowers, nearly two dozen lenders have agreed to take part in a new loan modification program.

The FHA program called Short Refi requires major concessions from lenders, which must agree to

write off at least 10 percent of the principal balance, and from investors, who, if they own the mortgage, must also agree to the deal.

To qualify, homeowners must be current on their monthly mortgage payments and not already have an FHA home loan.

The size of the new primary loan cannot be more than 97.75 percent of the current value of the property; refinanced loans for homeowners whose properties carry second liens cannot exceed 15 percent of the property value.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), which oversees the FHA, said this month that 23 lenders had signed on to the Short Refi program, though it will disclose only the names of the five lenders that have already restructured a total of 44 loans.

They are: Wall Street Mortgage Bankers of Lake Success, New York; 1st Alliance Lending of East Hartford, Connecticut; Nationstar Mortgage of Lewisville, Texas; E Mortgage Management of Haddon Township, New Jersey; and Glacier Bank of Kalispell, Montana.

HUD estimated that 500,000 to 1.5 million borrowers could be eligible for the program.

Even so, it faces challenges in Congress; on Thursday, the House of Representatives voted to end it.

One mortgage expert, John Diiorio, the owner of 1st Alliance Lending, said that big banks were taking part behind the scenes, by referring homeowners to third-party lenders that could restructure their mortgages.

He added that 1st Alliance had “several hundred FHA Short Refi” loans in the pipeline.

Because the FHA announced the program only last September 2010, and because such loans take three to four months from start to finish, Mr. Diiorio said, the number of refinanced loans should increase in coming months.

He said that, on average, 1st Alliance had negotiated a principal reduction of $86,000 on a $256,000 loan, a 33.5 percent cut, to $170,000.

But he said lenders and investors had agreed to reduce principal for only half of the loans he had worked on.

The refinanced borrower, Mr. Diiorio said, had to pay a slightly higher fixed rate, typically 6 or so percent.

But he added that the financial impact was the same as a 5 percent rate on a higher-balance loan of $100,000, with less principal forgiven.

“It seems counter-intuitive,” he said, “but the economics work both for the consumer and for the lender.”

St Louis Mortgage Refinancing and Lending News: HAMP Found Lacking, Again
St Louis Home Mortgage and Commercial Loans | Principal Reduction Program
877-334-0210 or 314-334-0210 | Floyd Tapia, Commercial Lending and Loan Modification Consultant

Approximately twelve months ago, the Congressional Oversight Panel found the program HAMP to be struggling to get off the ground despite having been in action for nearly a year and a half.

The latest evaluation of the Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP) came out and the result was the same deal. HAMP has undergone several tweaks since April 2010.

But the Congressional Oversight Panel, created to issue periodic reports on the TARP bailout program, found little improvement in performance according to a St Louis mortgage broker.

Instead of helping 3 million to

4 million struggling mortgage borrowers keep their homes, as originally projected, HAMP will prevent only about 700,000 to 800,000 foreclosures.

That number is dwarfed by the 8 million to 13 million foreclosures expected to occur by 2012.

Through the end of October 2010, there have been 519,648 permanent loan modifications made.

And, since the Treasury Department lost the authority to further restructure the program at the end of October, bolstering its prospects is no longer likely, the report said.

In fact, banks are offering more modifications through their own process than through the government's.

The new report cited several reasons for the program's failure.

For one, servicers, the companies hired by banks to manage the loans, earn extra profits through fees imposed during foreclosure.

Because of that, servicers were preventing or delaying modifications for their own monetary advantage.

Another big obstacle was that many loans in trouble often came burdened with second mortgages in the way of home equity loans or lines of credit where those banks had to sign off on potential deals.

Because so many homes are worth less than the borrowers owe or negative equity, there is little money to cover the first loan, let alone a second mortgage.

So many banks in the second position refused to sign off unless they were paid something.

The oversight panel also faulted the Treasury for not having effective means of collecting and analyzing HAMP data.

The department, said the panel, did not even set meaningful goals against which to weigh the program's effectiveness.

Because participation has been so limited, HAMP will probably only spend about $4 billion of the $30 billion allocated for it.

Even the loans that have been permanently modified through HAMP have not performed well.

Many have already re-defaulted, and that basically means taxpayer money down the drain.

St Louis Finance and Loan Audit News: Ironically, Robo-Signing Seems To Be Driving Foreclosures Down A Bit
St Louis Home Mortgage and Commercial Loans | Principal Reduction Program

The number of consumers who have actually lost their homes to bank repossessions dropped even more steeply to 67,428.

That was off a whopping 28 percent from 93,236 in October 2010.

Repossessions are down approximately a third since September 2010.

The drop in total filings, which include notices of default, scheduled auctions and repossessions, followed a 4 percent decline a month earlier.

RealtyTrac CEO James Saccacio attributed the downtrend to fallout from the recent robo-signing controversy.

The robo-signing moratoriums were

responsible for the lion's share of the decrease in November 2010 filings, said Rick Sharga, spokesman for RealtyTrac.

"I wish the report was actually good news," he said. "But it's just an artificial drop. For most borrowers in foreclosure, it will be a temporary reprieve."

As evidence, Sharga pointed out that in judicial foreclosure states, ones where courts are involved and where banks are most vulnerable to scrutiny over their foreclosure practices.

In these instances, filings dropped substantially more than in states where courts do not usually participate in foreclosure actions.

There were 34 percent fewer auctions scheduled in judicial states, month-over-month, compared with a 7 percent decline in non-judicial states.

"Even that small drop was probably driven by an excess of caution among the banks," Sharga said.

The temporary freezes likely won't benefit many homeowners, he added: "Most will still lose their homes."

He continues: "There will probably be a few people who will use the extra time to negotiate loan modifications or do a short sale."

The industry has dubbed the four leading foreclosure states of the past few years, Arizona, California, Florida, and Nevada, as the "sand states" because they all have extensive areas of beaches or desert.

Now, a fifth sand state has joined their ranks. Utah recorded one filing for every 222 housing units during the month, second only to Nevada (one for every 99).

California (one for every 233), Arizona (one for every 262) and Florida (one for every 267) round out the top five.

Among the nation's metro areas, Las Vegas, Nevada leads the pack.

Seven interior California cities are in the top ten, plus Reno, Nevada, is at number eight and Port St. Lucie, Florida, is at number ten.
