Lending Industry Attacks California Homeowner's Rights to Legal Representation

October 5, 2011 by  
Filed under Mortgage

Long Beach, Calif. (PRWEB) July 7, 2009

The lending industry and loan servicing lobbyists have successfully pressured Governor Schwarzenegger to demand that language be included in SB 94 that would prohibit attorneys from accepting retainers for loan modification negotiations with their loan servicers. The language, if adopted, will prevent homeowners from seeking legal representation to save their home from foreclosure.

According to Martin Andelman, of mandelmanmatters on ml-implode.com, California homeowners are the ones losing here . This is just the banking lobby influencing our government once again. Andelman has been an outspoken advocate for homeowner rights and writes a column for The Mortgage Lender Implode-o-meter and the Niche Report magazine.

The language proposed is as follows, according to Andelman;

5) Prohibits persons including attorneys, until January 1, 2013, who negotiates, attempts to negotiate, arranges, attempts to arrange, or otherwise offers to perform a mortgage loan modification or other compensation paid by the borrower to do any of the following:

a) Claim, demand, charge, collect, or receive any compensation until after the licensee has fully performed each and every service the licensee contracted to perform or represented that he/she would perform.

The proposed language will effectively cut-off homeowners from legal representation, while banks and loan servicers have a battery of attorneys dictating policies that are in their interests and leaving homeowners to fend for themselves. Attorneys who legitimately represent their client's interests to gain long-term modifications invest months of work, countless hours and delaying tactics by the loan servicers who only respond to the threat of litigation.

Alan Jablonski, a Long Beach, CA based consumer rights attorney and author of ''Successfully Navigating the Mortgage Maze'' said, the modifications that the loan servicers are offering homeowners, if they will even talk with them, are short term fixes that will leave the homeowners facing foreclosure at a later date.

The language may also affect homeowners who are seeking bankruptcy protection, since attorneys practicing in this area also work to keep homeowners in their properties. Most homeowners want to stay in their homes, even if they owe more than the home is worth.

J. Arthur Roberts, a bankruptcy attorney located in Newport Beach, CA stated, this language is of great concern, many homeowners who contact our office are trying to save their homes and we don't know how this will affect our practice, homeowners need attorneys to look into violations of state and federal law, it depends upon how this law will be interpreted.

Jablonski continued, attorneys will not be able to help homeowners, since much of the time, if the attorney doesn't receive a retainer they have no way to be paid for their servicers, violations of the law will go unchallenged and those who could have remained in their homes will have no recourse.

No attorney can guarantee an outcome, it's in our code of ethics and would irresponsible, but the only thing this language will do is drive homeowners to disreputable loan modification companies who will violate the law regardless of its passage, Jablonski said.

In 2008, California passed new laws that required lenders to work with homeowners and many attorneys are using these and other laws to fight for solutions to the foreclosure epidemic in the state. Many believe the financial industry is attempting to remove any chance homeowners have of staying in their homes for the long-term.

Alan Jablonski can be contacted and will be available for appearances on short deadlines at 562.235.5709. Martin Andelman and J. Arthur Roberts are available for appearances and further comments.

Clopton Capital Announces New Commercial Mortgage Program

October 4, 2011 by  
Filed under Mortgage

Chicago, Illinois (PRWEB) October 01, 2011

Clopton Capital is a provider of commercial mortgages and is located in Chicago, IL. They primarily focus on commercial mortgage services, SBA loan products and niche financing mechanisms such as gas station loans and commercial bridge loans. The founder of Clopton Capital is Jake Clopton and this press release is part of Clopton Capital’s consistent effort to remain involved with the public, namely their future clients. Clopton Capital can be contacted at CloptonCapital.com.

Clopton Capital has recently gained a partnership with a wholesale commercial mortgage source and is making this announcement to explain the significance and specific parameters of this new commercial financing mechanism. The commercial mortgage solution they are making announcement of can be issued at up to $25,000,000 and in some cases even higher if the need, credit of the borrower and viability of the business idea meets even higher standards than expected. This commercial mortgage can be utilized on any income producing property, business or even real estate, so long as it is generating a cash flow. Clopton Capital claims the most significant feature of this loan product is the ability to cash out an unlimited number of times. Jake Clopton, the founder of Clopton Capital, explained the process of ‘cashing out’ as this, If you want to borrow funds again years later and pay off the prior loan in exchange for a new commercial mortgage from us, there are no penalties and the transition in quite simple. This is incredibly rare and frankly unheard of in commercial lending right now.

There is a credit requirement for this loan. You will need a FICO score of above 650 and virtually any significant negative marks on the borrower’s credit could eliminate their eligibility for such a loan. Funding takes approximately 30 days after all information is obtained. Clopton Capital claims the most significant factor and largest selling point of this loan solution is the fact that interest rates start at only 3%. 3% is absolutely unheard of in the world of banking. We are extremely excited about this program and we want everyone who could possibly want a commercial mortgage to know about this program as soon as possible, said Matt Reed, an associate of Clopton Capital.

Clopton Capital can be contacted at their website CloptonCapital.com or at 866.647.1650 during regular business hours central time. Their website contains more specific information about their working capital products. Their website dedicated to commercial mortgages for borrowers and commercial mortgage brokers is CommercialMortgageSource.com

Private Investor Solves Housing Crisis

October 3, 2011 by  
Filed under Mortgage

Los Angeles, CA (Vocus) May 8, 2009

The Bottom-Up Family Housing Voucher (FHV) is a micro loan concept that creates credit and value through leverage to stabilize real estate markets, thereby altering prevalent toxic paper held by institutions into assets with value.

The FHV, by Jud Ireland, is now gaining traction. FHV will be backed with the full and complete credit worthiness of the United States Treasury.

This is the best plan I've seen to help the housing crisis. It's so brilliant in its simplicity, no wonder everybody missed it. Now is the time to implement Family Housing Vouchers. — Michael Intriligator, Professor of Economics, Political Science and Public Policy, UCLA and Senior Fellow Milken Institute

The FHV is a divisible voucher with a duration of ten years. The government will issue Family Housing Vouchers (FHV) to homeowners as a loan to pay off a portion of their mortgages. The issuance of FHV is to create confidence and signal an end to the housing crisis. The US Government can adjust the distribution depending on how much inflation the FHV may create. The immediate cost to the government with a 1% coupon rate is ten billion dollars for 1 trillion in added liquidity.

Financial institutions will keep the FHV on their books with the same capital requirements as Treasuries or Agency assets which will stabilize their balance sheets accordingly. Banks will loan against them with a multiple of value, further aiding the economy.

The financials can slowly monetize them by liquidating / redeeming them back to the government at the rate of ten percent per year.

Stability of the housing market is the goal.

The Bottom-Up Family Housing Vouchers plan is the natural ally for homeowners, housing bond holders, Wall Street, and Washington. This is the only plan that helps everyone. — Jud Ireland

Discussion Points:

  • Wiki estimates the USA has $10 trillion in existing mortgages, some economists estimate as high as $14 trillion.
  • The government cost for 1 trillion dollars of FHV is only 10 billion dollars a year and will certainly signal an end to the housing melt down.
  • What happens to homeowners who have no mortgages? They get a tax credit.
  • FHV is a micro loan based on macro Keynesian economics*.
  • The homeowner repays the loan voucher to the Government.
  • Who gets an FHV? Some balanced distribution.
  • An FHV secondary market will not be allowed as that would defeat the purpose.
  • Bondholders love FHV because they create value for the bond holders instead of a cram down from the government. — Jud Ireland
  • Wall Street likes FHV because they mitigate the risk in buying toxic assets.
  • FHV complement the Geithner Plan by turning toxic assets into valuable assets.
  • FHV might be administered using the existing Tax Roll.
  • The Bottom-Up Voucher solution can also apply to small business owners, cities, universities, or states.
  • The Bottom-Up Voucher solution will create millions of jobs.

*Keynesian economics is a macroeconomic theory based on the ideas of John Maynard Keynes that contends that private sector choices sometimes lead to inefficient macroeconomic outcomes and therefore advocates active policy responses by the public sector which would include monetary policy actions by the central bank and fiscal policy actions by the government to stabilize output over the business cycle.
