Why are we looking Foreclosures

By: Paul Solman

NewsHour Thursday, we have the first of a series of stories about foreclosures. a glance at the list of "most popular" on page Wall St. Journal of online real estate gives some sense of the shapes that are taking these stories:

Making Sense

Family breaks in your home removed old

Delays in closure: ' varnish In The Coffin For Housing '

Title of tallest may back to New York

We are headed for housing Armageddon?

Our features history Thursday, between its various characters, Brooklyn judge Arthur August, which began to block foreclosures for three years, because he already identified as bad, if not downright fraudulent paperwork.

Another key protagonist is North Carolina lawyer Max Gardner, known as "the Dean of the bankruptcy".Gardner has agreed to answer your mortgage questions here in making sen $ e.

Finally, we have a scheduled Explain that will guide you through the process of what happens with a mortgage loan origination closure. Promise shouldn't be too wonky.

Last question: how big is a Big business that?.Potentially enormous.Across the country, title insurers refuse to insure the Scripture in foreclosed properties. would you buy a house without the guarantee that once you bought, you would itself?On the other hand, if you OWNED a house bank or Fannie Mae, say, was trying to stop in for the non-payment of the mortgage, you would still pay?Exit?

Hey, suppose you are an investor holding a mortgage-backed security. your payments come, finally, the mortgage payments that back the security that you bought. uh ...

And banks of "big"? who I talked to perform upwards of 30 percent of all mortgages that "services" in their own books.If payments in many of these securities stop suddenly, not once banks in trouble?

I just talked to a member of my family, a Realtor, respected and successful in Ohio.The real estate business has been quite doubtful since the crisis. in communities like his, 50 per cent more or less of all residential transactions involve foreclosed properties.(See our recent piece in Fort Myers, Florida for an illustration viva)What will happen to half a million or more real estate brokers and sales agents of the United States if the market closure dry?

Just asking.

PostScript(if you'll forgive the term in the on-line context): the story of closure is moving so quickly, I forgot to mention a nascent national movement instigated by the Service Employees International Union: wheresthenote.com.aqui is a note that received the Union this morning:

With our online tool, homeowners easily can request a copy of your mortgage note, a document banks need to prove that they own the loan and can collect payments homeowners ...The campaign is sponsored by SEIU, Action, national network of PICO, Industrial Areas Foundation popular National Alliance of Californians for the empowerment of the community and the Russian Federation Northwest of community organizations.
