Book excerpt: This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. The surge in mortgage foreclosures that began in late 2006 and continues today was initially driven by deterioration in the performance of non-prime loans. Non-prime mortgage originations increased dramatically from 2000 through 2006, rising from 12% of all mortgage originations to 34%. The non-prime market contracted sharply in mid-2007, in response to increasing defaults and foreclosures for these loans. This report: (1) provides info. on the performance of non-prime loans through 12/31/09; (2) examines how loan and borrower characteristics and economic conditions influenced the likelihood of default of non-prime loans; and (3) describes the features of data on non-prime loan performance and borrower characteristics.

Download or read book Subprime Mortgage Lending in New York City written by Ebiere Okah and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2010-08 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Subprime mortgage lending expanded in New York City between 2004 and mid-2007, and delinquencies on these subprime loans have been rising sharply. The authors describe the main features of this lending and model the performance of these loans. These subprime loans are found to be clustered in neighborhoods where average borrower credit quality is low and, unlike prime mortgage loans, where African-Americans and Hispanics constitute relatively large shares of the population. The authors estimate a model of the likelihood that these loans will become seriously delinquent and find a significant role for credit quality of borrowers, debt-to-income and loan-to-value ratios at the time of loan origination, and estimates of the loss of home equity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The surge in mortgage foreclosures that began in late 2006 and continues today was initially driven by deterioration in the performance of nonprime (subprime and Alt-A) loans. Nonprime mortgage originations increased dramatically from 2000 through 2006, rising from about 12 percent ($125 billion) of all mortgage originations to about 34 percent ($1 trillion). The nonprime market contracted sharply in mid-2007, partly in response to increasing defaults and foreclosures for these loans.This report (1) provides information on the performance of nonprime loans through December 31, 2009; (2) examines how loan and borrower characteristics and economic conditions influenced the likelihood of default (including foreclosure) of nonprime loans; and (3) describes the features and limitations of primary sources of data on nonprime loan performance and borrower characteristics, and discusses federal government efforts to improve the availability or use of such data. To do this work, GAO analyzed a proprietary database of securitized nonprime loans and Home Mortgage Disclosure Act data, and reviewed information on mortgage data sources maintained by private firms and the federal government.

This book was released on 2010-10 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The number of nonprime mortgage originations grew rapidly from 2000 through 2006, a period during which average house prices appreciated dramatically. The nonprime share of mortgage originations rose from 12% in 2000 to 34% in 2006. As house prices subsequently fell, the subprime and Alt-A market segments contracted sharply. Borrowers who had obtained nonprime mortgages earlier in the decade increasingly fell behind on their mortgage payments.

This book was released on 2010-10 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The decline of home prices in many parts of the country has left millions of homeowners with negative home equity, meaning that their outstanding mortgage balances exceed the current value of their homes. A substantial proportion of borrowers with active nonprime mortgages had negative equity in their homes as of June 30, 2009. For ex., among the 16 metro areas examined, the percentage of nonprime borrowers with negative equity ranged from about 9% (Denver, CO) to more than 90% (Las Vegas, NV). This report examines, at the state level, the estimated proportion of nonprime borrowers with active loans that were in a negative equity position and the proportion that were seriously delinquent on their loan payments from 2006 through the end of 2009.

Download or read book Mortgage Loan Securitization and Relative Loan Performance written by John Krainer and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2010-08 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Compares the ex ante observable risk characteristics and the default rates of securitized mortgage loans and mortgage loans retained by the original lender. Privately securitized loans tend to be riskier and to default at a faster rate than loans securitized with the GSEs and lender-retained loans. The differences in default rates across investor types are of secondary importance for explaining mortgage defaults compared to more conventional predictors, such as original loan-to-value ratios and the path for house prices. Privately securitized home mortgages have conditionally higher expected returns than retained loans, suggesting the presence of risk factors that are unobservable but nonetheless at least partially acknowledged by the market.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The collapse of the financial markets in 2008 and the resulting 'Great Recession' merely accelerated an already worrisome trend: the shift away from an employer-based social welfare system in the United States. Since the end of World War II, a substantial percentage of the costs of social provision--most notably, unemployment insurance and health insurance--has been borne by employers rather than the state. The US has long been unique among advanced economies in this regard, but in recent years, its social contract has become so frayed that is fast becoming unrecognizable. Despite Obama's election, the burdens of social provision are falling increasingly upon individual families, and the situation is worsening because of the unemployment crisis. How can we repair the American social welfare system so that workers and families receive adequate protection and, if necessary, provision from the ravages of the market? In Shared Responsibility, Shared Risk, Jacob Hacker and Ann O'Leary have gathered a distinguished group of scholars on American social policy to address this most fundamental of problems. Collectively, they analyze how the 'privatization of risk' has increased hardships for American families and increased inequality. They also propose a series of solutions that would distribute the burdens of risks more broadly and expand the social safety net. The range of issues covered is broad: health care, homeownership, social security and aging, unemployment, wealth (as opposed to income) creation, education, and family-friendly policies. The book is also comparative, measuring US social policy against the policies of other advanced nations. Given the current crisis in America social policy and the concomitant paralysis within government, the book has the potential to make an important intervention in the current debate.

Book excerpt: H.R. 3915 (2007), a bill introduced, but not enacted by the 110th Congress, was intended to reform mortgage lending practices to prevent a recurrence of problems in the mortgage market, particularly in the nonprime market segment. The bill would have set minimum standards for all mortgages (e.g., reasonable ability to repay) and created a "safe harbor" for loans that met certain requirements. This report discusses: (1) the proportions of recent nonprime loans that likely would have met and not met the bill's safe harbor requirements and factors influencing the performance of these loans; and (2) relevant research and the views of mortgage industry stakeholders concerning the potential impact of key provisions of the bill on the availability of mortgage credit.

Download or read book Comparing Patterns of Default Among Prime and Subprime Mortgages written by Gene Amromin and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2010-01 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This article compares default patterns among prime and subprime mortgages, analyzes the factors correlated with default, and examines how forecasts of defaults are affected by alternative assumptions about trends in home prices. The authors find that extremely pessimistic forecasts of home price appreciation could have generated predictions of subprime defaults that were closer to the actual default experience for loans originated in 2006 and 2007. However, for prime loans one would have also had to anticipate that defaults would become much more sensitive to home prices. Tables and graphs.
