“Underwater” Mortgages On The Rise

Friday, August 28th, 2009

underwater_mortgageMany news outlets are reporting officials from Deutsche Bank AG have recently released the results of a study that estimates the number of “underwater” mortgages will rise to nearly 50% of all U.S. mortgages by the year 2011. A mortgage is considered “underwater” when the borrower owes more on a property than the actual value of the property. Borrowers with loan-to-value ratios of 125 percent or more will increase from 14 percent to 28 percent the study concluded. A 14% decrease in home values across the board is predicted as well.

The analysts noted that lack of consumer confidence and cautionary spending would create even more loan defaults, as unemployment rates continue to rise and the housing market correction carries into 2010. They also foresee a potential rise in the number of borrowers who “strategically default” or “walk-away” from these negative equity loans to escape the underwater mortgage situation and improve their immediate financial situation, at the risk of being able to obtain mortgage financing in the future.

As foreclosure rates increase, once highly evaluated properties in a neighborhood begin to decrease in value, and some estimates put the loss of value as high as 9%. This depression of property values causes the remaining mortgages to go underwater, and creates a spillover effect on foreclosed properties and the generation of additional REO assets. An REO asset is one owned by a bank because it has not sold at auction, usually because the amount owed to the lender on the home is greater than the properties market value. This increase in “underwater” mortgages will inevitably lead to an increase in bank owned real estate. Coastal REO Solutions has many options and services available to lenders and banks to deal with these foreclosures, defaults and walk-aways. Contact us today to learn about all the options available to your institution.

Coastal Reo Receivership Management Program

Sunday, August 2nd, 2009

Coastal Reo Solutions is at the forefront of receivership management for local and national lenders in Myrtle Beach and along the Grand Strand. Our experienced, reliable team is prepared to take control of your toxic assets. CRS’s primary goal in receivership is to protect the integrity of the asset and income stream by securing the physical property, accounts, and records. Our secondary objective is to establish management procedures that protect and preserve the asset during the transition period.

Coastal’s asset management group is properly acquainted with the court proceedings involved in the foreclosure process and the appointment of a receiver. Our experience gives us the capacity to participate in the legal process alongside our clients and their attorneys, ensuring the orders appointing the receiver are adequate in scope and authority. We provide the essential tools for a smooth conversion and the financial stability to maintain and generate worth in the REO asset. This service comes at a time when foreclosures can be expected to rise. Loan modifications are not going as quickly and smoothly as hoped for, according to a recent article from the Associated Press, and may lead to even more bank owned real estate in the near future. Through receivership, Coastal REO will transfer the risks and hassles of the foreclosure process from your institution, thus releasing your organization from potential insurance, maintenance, legal and local ordinance issues. This service can also be useful to banks by avoiding taking title of new properties that have been foreclosed and the associated problems of construction defect lawsuits or liability issues that can arise from a deserted and unsecured property or building site.

To find out if the receivership process is right for your institution’s situation, contact our knowledgeable team of professionals by email or give us a call at 843.839.8046. We look forward to working with you and for you during these difficult times.
