Given the recent monetary crisis should mortgage lenders / brokers be held accountable? Your opinion?
- i do not know. i will have to consult with russ and scottd, before i can make a judgment call on this matter
- Many of the poor risk mortgages were initiated by mortgage brokers who get paid up front and do not have to risk anything in the long run. They simply set up the deal. The mortgage companies who relied on these brokers are really taking a hit. Of course the companies are also to blame because everyone was more interested in a quick buck rather that long term stability. Some of the mortgages were sold several times. Seems everybody loses except the broker
- Whereas your observation that the mortgage lenders have proven themselves to be greedy, just at the Enron folks were, is a valid one, the difference is that the Enron stockholders and for the most part, the employees had no idea what was going on. In the current mortgage market, consumers had everything spelled out to them on the HUD 1 form that comes with every mortgage. Many times, their own greed blinded them into reaching for large homes which under normal circumstances they could not afford, but because the lender offered them temporary low introductory rates, they took the loan, hoping that their situation would change before the piper had to be paid. This is just bad economic sense on the part of the homeowner. This not to take away moral culpability on the part of the lenders, who pushed these temporary low rates like crazy, but there is no legal culpability. The borrowers were not forced and the terms were spelled out for them to read. A man once said that good judgment comes from experience, and experience frequently comes from bad judgment. That being said, it is a sad mess. Be blessed
- beans, it doesn't follow that lenders want to lend money to people who can not pay. lenders do not want to own a foreclosed property. so - we can not blame the lender, per se. lenders make their lending decisions based on several pieces of important input - appraisal of the property, credit report, employment verification, etc. in the end, the availability of money allows more flexibility in the lending criteria. people buying a house very close to their debt to income numbers, lose their home because they lack the flexibility for a monetary change in their ability to pay. such things include job loss, medical, etc. everyone can take ownership in the housing issue but it finally comes down to the homeowners planning and ability to pay. this added to the fact that many if not most of the foreclosures are actually "no money down" homes because the buyer had no investment in the property and it is easy to walk away when the going gets tough. in my opinion, the problem lies more on the homeowner - they were / are, at all times, in charge of the process
- legitimate mortgage companies should not be. Predatory mortgage companies should be held accountable
