Freddie Mac Auctions Extended Timeline Pool Offering of NPLs. Team Thayer Real Estate News

seal-on-moneyFreddie Mac announced Thursday that it sold 157 deeply delinquent non-performing loans (NPLs) totaling about $31 million in aggregate unpaid principal balance (UPB) in its first-ever Extended Timeline Pool Offering (EXPO) sale on June 3.
EXPOs differ from Freddie Mac's Standard Pool Offerings in that the loans include smaller pool sizes and a longer marketing period. Freddie Mac is targeting smaller investors with its EXPO auctions, which are intended to give these investors extra time to secure funding to participate in the NPL sales.
Freddie Mac began marketing the pool of loans on April 21 and encouraged private investors, minority- and women-owned businesses, non-profits, and neighborhood advocacy funds to bid in the auction, subject to meeting bidder qualification requirements. Those requirements include: the bidding servicer must be approved by and in good standing with GSEs; the servicers must prioritize loan modifications over non-home retention solutions and encourage sales to owner occupants and non-profits; servicers must comply with the Treasury Department's Making Home Affordable Programs, including the Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP), and must evaluate eligible borrowers for those programs; servicers must evaluate borrowers for proprietary modifications when they are deemed non-HAMP eligible; and servicers must honor all completed modifications.
The winning bidder for the single pool of loans was Corona Asset Management XII, LLC. The cover bid price, the second highest bid, was in the high 80s percent of UPB. The weighted average of broker price opinion, loan-to-value was 80 percent; the average loan size of the 157 loans was $199,079; and the note rate was 5.6 percent.
The loans in the pool were an average of four years delinquent, meaning the loans have either been previously evaluated or are in various stages of loss mitigation or are in foreclosure. Approximately 22 percent of the aggregate pool balance was made up of loans that were previously modified and later became delinquent, according to Freddie Mac.
Wells Fargo Securities and the Williams Capital Group acted as advisors to Freddie Mac for the transaction. The transaction is expected to settle in late July 2015.

Team Thayer Real Estate House Flipping Traps! #flippinghouses #eugeneoregon #oregon #housing #market #realestate

If you’ve got several leads waiting to turn into potential deals, you can’t wait for one to suddenly come knocking at your door. Successful real estate house flippers have one trait in common: they place an emphasis on proper planning. Once you’ve secured a deal, you must decide what kind of rehab you will perform. Will you conduct a few simple cosmetic upgrades (like these  10 rehab projects you finish in one weekend )? Or, is the home nice enough to sell after  an easy prehab ? Are there structural damages that will require you to carry out more major renovations? Will you focus on implementing environmentally friendly renovations  – also known as “greenhabbing” – so that you  qualify for certain tax benefits ? Once you’ve determined your strategy, it is important to ask yourself these specific questions before diving into the construction action: What are the current market conditions in my area? What does my ideal buyer look like? Does my marketing cam...

Understanding the tax advantages and disadvantages of homeownership #realestate #taxadvantage #taxes #housing #market

It’s no secret that some of the major perks of homeownership are the tax write-offs and advantages that follow the purchase. In fact, according to a 2015 survey by the National Association of Realtors, 80% of homebuyers see homeownership as a good investment, and 43% think it’s better than investing in the stock market. Reaping the rewards of mortgage interest and property tax deductions is just one way to think of your home as an investment. But there are even more real estate–related tax advantages and disadvantages that can slip under a new homeowner’s radar. It can be relatively easy to trigger tax liabilities or perks (and then fail to claim them) on that new piece of  Eugene, Or, real estate . This is why it’s essential to touch base with your tax pro before every real estate transaction, no matter how minor a question you may have. Sometimes planning and timing make a major difference in the financial impact of a real estate–related tax; other times, ...
