obama Dear Mr. President:


Way back when, seems almost a lifetime ago, I remember you saying something about a moratorium on foreclosures and some new program called Making Home Affordable. A program designed to help millions of Americans keep their homes by modifying the existing terms, to an affordable payment.

I could barely contain my excitement since we were facing imminent default on our mortgage. I was able to earn a decent living in a good economy in the real estate market. I also owned a small business that was tied to a flourishing economy.

fannieYou might have heard Fannie Mae is going to start going after homeowners who strategically default on their loans.

So instead of changing current legislation and in particular Fannie Mae guidelines to MAKE the banks modify a homeowners loan, Fannie has decided to spend it's time deciding how they can beat an already beaten down homeowner.

Makes sense?

We, the American taxpayers own this giant, Fannie and we own her brother, Freddie Mac. In 2008 when these two companies were failing, the government seized ownership-took them over. These two companies backed the predatory lending practices that were rampant over the past several years. Now they get rewarded by given another opportunity to rape the American homeowner.

boabldgBank of America is once again trying to convince the public that they are actually doing something to help the economy. They are helping us all move ahead. In case we all need to be reminded, the past two years have been difficult for our economy and our country. BOA is worked working hard to fulfill its responsibility to the financial health of families, businesses, and communities.

If BOA is truly working hard to help families and communities, why is it that they are foreclosing on a record number of homes?

forrentIf you are one of the millions of Americans trying to save your home, it is a good idea to have a backup plan, or a Plan B in place in case your home goes into foreclosure.

If you have stopped making your mortgage payments, save that money. Find out what is available in your area for rent. You don't have to go physically look at the homes, just check the papers and the internet so you have an idea of the rental market, price, location, school district, etc.

hampwmoneyYou might have read the article about Bank of America announcing details to partially forgive debts of homeowners who owe more than their homes are worth. And how a bank executive is expressing disappointment in the company's efforts to help homeowners in the government's Home Affordable Modification Program.

Bank of America announced details of a plan to partially forgive debts of homeowners who owe more than their homes are worth, but it is simply not in the best interest of the bank to do this.  So we are going to tell everyone that we are here to help, but we will be able to continue to blame homeowners for missing paperwork, tell people we'll put them on trial programs when we have no intention of making them permanent, and our profits will soar.

It I appear pessimistic.  I am.

freddieblogFreddie Mac's Don Bisenius wrote a blog today (5/11/2010) about strategic defaults.

May 3, 2010 – As the mortgage industry works through a large volume of loan delinquencies, a new and growing concern has emerged: strategic defaults. In other words, borrowers who have the financial means to make monthly mortgage payments, but choose not to do so and, instead, purposely default on their loan.

Strategic defaults come from a variety of homebuyers: from real estate investors who sought to profit from rising house prices during the housing boom, to individual families who simply sought shelter. But these homebuyers have certain things in common: their properties reside in regions where house prices have declined considerably, and the amount still owed on the mortgage is far greater than the present value of the house.

confusedIn my attempt to decipher the MERS mystery, I came across a forum on the MERS website. Here is a link to that forum. http://www.mersinc.org/forum/index.aspx

I found a thread on the MERS forum that relates to when an assignment should be recorded. Who owns your mortgage?

Is this a complex version of hide and seek?
