St Louis Refinancing Professionals Fear The Worse Is Yet To Come

Just when the average consumer thought things were possibly turning the corner, it appears that we may be heading for a double dip recession.

The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) has been in hot water over the last 18 months but went ahead and made the decision to allow property flipping.

More and more professionals are saying that the FHA has seen the chilling, yet proverbial handwriting on the wall.

The solution that the FHA feels will hopefully stop another economic crash would be to move more properties rather quickly.

There are several pessimistic and urgent reasons for this cleaning of the housing market.

1. While the sub-prime crisis may be showing signs of early stabilizing, the adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) crisis is just beginning to rear its ugly head.

Many economists are urging the administration to seriously consider the next possible dent to hit our fragile economy that being the reset of millions of adjustable rate mortgages that won’t be refinancing candidates.

A solution that has long been suggested by mortgage professionals would be short sales.

2. Municipal Defaults – It may sound unbelievable but local towns and counties are feeling the financial pinch with foreclosures and tax defaults draining their fiscal bank accounts.

Property owners who are currently in a negative equity position will fare even worse as more and more counties and townships go broke.

3. Commercial Real Estate Will Be Hit Hard – The commercial market will be facing the same financial crisis as its sister market suffered in the residential sector.

There will be a need in the commercial marketing for trillions in refinancing loans if they can qualify for this type of loan. Many business owners have already declared bankruptcy.

And most of them, even with positive cash flows, are as underwater as residential mortgages. As these businesses crash, they will cause even more unemployment.

4. Loan modifications are simply not working – The St. Louis Refinancing Group news team has reported that unless and until there is meaningful principal reduction, most people getting a loan modification will stop making their payments if they are $100,000+ upside down on their home.

And that number of people who are underwater is growing by leaps and bounds. Many economists are saying look for lots of “jingle mail,” where the homeowner voluntarily sends back the keys in 2010.

The term self-eviction will be getting more and more notoriety as more and more consumers are given the option of voluntarily turning in their house keys with the guarantee that they will owe nothing nor have to pay for any future financial losses.

With the expense of foreclosures skyrocketing, more and more banks and lenders are allowing homeowners to simply walk away saving them time and money. This may also save us from another economic crash.
