The Day Ahead: Moody's Questions U.S. Credit Rating. Bonds Shrug Off News - 36 minutes ago
Posted To: MBS CommentaryEquity futures are trading higher this morning despite word from Moody’s that it would have to question America’s triple-A credit rating unless it provides a credible plan to tackle its growing deficit. Steve Hess , a top sovereign debt analyst at Moody’s, said the U.S. appears to have “no plan” to reduce the deficit. “Can the United States do it is the big question right now and we are not sure either way,” he told Dow Jones Newswires. “We will wait and see what happens in the next couple of years on this front.” Meanwhile, economic confidence in Europe rose for a second straight month to its highest level in more than two years. The July index rose 1.3 points to 101.3.

Can Mortgage Rates Go Any Lower? - 16 hours ago
Posted To: Mortgage Rate WatchWell, here we are on "hump day" and mortgage rates are still detached from the price fluctuations of the secondary mortgage market. Instead, the ups and downs of consumer borrowing costs continue to be driven primarily by the capacity constraints of major lenders, the market makers for mortgage rates. One misconception is record low mortgage rates have drawn out a hoard of "fence sitting" borrowers who are bustling with excitement to refinance.

Is There Life After the Mortgage Business? - 17 hours ago
Posted To: The Garrett Watts ReportWe all know the mortgage business can be extremely profitable at times. We also know it can be disastrous at other times. Regulators and law makers have created an environment that makes us feel like a pin ball, bouncing aimlessly from one bumper to another Regardless of all these issues, most mortgage lending professionals stay in the business too long and never retire. I recently had the opportunity to talk to an “old timer”. He is in his mid-70s and still looking for an opportunity to manage/operate a company again. While his previous companies were well run and profitable, I was perplexed as to why he wished to do it all over again at the age of 75, especially in this environment. I had the opportunity to chat with a younger mortgage banker who had already sold a company, made...(read more)Forward this article via email: Send a copy of this story to someone you know that may want to read it.
FHA Ready to Reduce Seller Concessions. HUD Invites Industry Comment Before Implementation - 17 hours ago
Posted To: MND NewsWireHUD is preparing to implement a few new policies that will no doubt affect your pipeline/loan application process. Last week, HUD and the FHA invited public comment on three of those policy changes, which are part of FHA's strategy to "strengthen their capital reserves". The proposed changes which are either tweaks to other recent revisions or have been telegraphed by FHA and HUD in earlier Congressional testimony, notices to lenders, or press releases will: Update the combination of credit and down payment requirements for new borrowers Reduce allowable seller concessions from six to three percent. Tighten underwriting standards for manually underwritten loans FHA has been scrambling to strengthen its financial situation since an audit late in 2009 showed that the capital ratio...(read more)Forward this article via email: Send a copy of this story to someone you know that may want to read it.
