There Is A New Way to Qualify for an Investor On Single Family Homes. #realestate #housing #news #oregon

Money Jar BH
In order to achieve lower default rates on single-family rental investor loans, many single-family rental originators have enhanced their underwriting criteria and are now qualifying borrowers for SFR investor loans based on property income rather than personal income, according to research fromMorningstar Credit Ratings.


The traditional way to underwrite single-family, single-property investor loans has been to do them as residential instead of commercial loans. Borrowers typically include information on projected rental income from the property and add a portion of this to their personal income; however, lenders of residential investor loans commonly qualify borrowers for loans based on the borrower’s personal income and credit instead of whether or not the projected rental income from the property can cover the debt service.
One of the main factors that prompted lenders to start focusing on property income when considering approval for a residential investor loan is the lower default rates on properties where the income from the rent more than covers the debt. Research from Morningstar found lower-than-average default rates among investor loans where the property income is greater than 1.2 times the debt service.
5-12 Morningstar“This approach makes sense: borrowers should be less likely to default if a property generates enough rent to cover debt obligations and are more likely to default if the debt service exceeds the rent,”wrote Morningstar Credit Ratings RMBS Managing Directors Brian Grow and Becky Cao. “It is common practice for commercial lenders to look at debt service coverage ratios as a key driver of default, and it seems logical to apply this approach to single-property investor loans.”
Morningstar examined approximately 900,000 nonagency investor property loans originated from 2002 to 2007 in order to determine the how debt service coverage affects default rates (using regional rent estimates from RentRange to individual investor properties in the CoreLogic In. nonagency loan-level data).

When Will Bank Foreclosurews ‘Normalize’? Team Thayer #realestate #investor #housing #market #news #oregon

With much of the talk surrounding the housing market centered on “normalization” or returning to its pre-crisis state, one metric which the market is watching is the distressed sales share—the share of REO and short sales that comprise total residential home sales. For February 2016, the distressed sales share declined by 2.9 percentage points over-the-year (and 0.4 percentage points over-the month) down to 11 percent, according to  data released by CoreLogic  on Thursday. At their peak in January 2009, distressed sales accounted for nearly one-third of all residential home sales (32.4 percent) but has been declining steadily since then. By comparison, the pre-crisis share of distressed sales was typically around 2 percent; CoreLogic estimates that if the current rate of year-over-year decline continues, the distressed sales share will reach the “normal” pre-crisis level in slightly more than two years. “Prior to the housing crash, the distressed share of total...

How Far Has the Economy Fallen in a Month? Team Thayer #realestate #housing #economic ##market #news #oregon

If the  May  Wall Street Journal  economist survey  is any indication, the economy is a lot worse off than it was as recently as a month ago. In the last three surveys conducted by the  Journal  in which economists are asked when they think the Federal Reserve  will next raise the federal funds target rate, the consensus answer has been June. In April’s survey, three-quarters of economists surveyed said they believe that a rate hike by the Fed will be announced at the next FOMC meeting on June 14 and 15. May’s survey told a different story, however. Less than a third (31 percent) out of the 70 economists surveyed said they believe the rate hike will take place in June; 21 percent said they believe it will take place in July. The same percentage of economists who believe that a June rate hike will take place (31 percent) said they think it will take place in September. What happened to the economy in the last month? A couple of setbacks—first,...
