[AsburyPark] Consequences from Wall Street to Asbury Park

2008-09-23 Thread Jennifer
What happened on Wall Street will have consequences for AP and possibly 
the world.  We are AP focused so...
How many AP residents worked for Lehman Bros?  I don't know, but I'd 
venture to guess a few.  How many are mortgage loan officers who 
originated loans securitized by Lehman?  I'd say a lot more.  How many 
are realtors who can no longer sell properties to buyers without a 20% 
downpayment who also have to qualify for a much more stringent 
mortgage?  AP has a lot of realtors.  Now how about the regular average 
person who wanted to buy a house here.  He or she may not be able to.  
How about all of the people who would have bought a nice condo near the 
beach for a weekend house and no longer can?  How does that trickle 
down?  These giant companies didn't just employ investment bankers.  
They employed IT, office managers, administrative assistants, janitors, 
security guards and well you get it.  I am only looking at it from one 
perspective, but consequences have not even begun yet.

That's the question that will eventually be answered - we may be dead 
by then.

I did my part yesterday. I purchased an american car. Granted, the 
gas mileage isn't that great. I didn't look to see where the car was 
actaully (or parts) were made, but it's as american as it gets. 

Jeep.

The investment houses got what they want  - the right to bank and 
eventaully insurance all under one roof. 

Money will made. Regional banks with good branches will become 
targets.

Name the bank(s) prior to Wachovia in our area all sucked up into 
W. New jersey National, corestate, meridian...

Opportunity for banking in AP - like luring a bank to go on the west 
side.

On bloomberg radio now, the fed/senate discussion on the crisis...

...the problems started years ago...with flaws in the system...

Blame on homeowners who tool out mortages they couldn't afford...and 
on some banks who had liberal checks and balances
Forget the enablers - bankers, brokers, attorneys, appraisers and the 
one who signed the note.

Can I just waive my credit card balance good buy - so that I am 
stronger for tomorrow's economy.

The govt will create new vehicles to which to move this Bad debt 
so that someone, somwhere will be able to place a value on this hard 
to value debt so that the new bad debt can be sold 
toinvestors..

PS, that's actaully done today. Large investors can bay Bad debt 
portfolios and carry these money losing companies as a tax loss - or 
sell the tax losses for a profit. It's more complicated  - but it's 
legit. 

 Merrill dumped alot of their bad debt at .22/dollar.

naomi klein refers to it as debt.  but it may be debt packaged as
securities...which would make the value of the equity position
dependent on the repayment of the debt...

[AsburyPark] Baronet/Fastlane

2008-09-23 Thread arcman210
It was previously mentioned how the Fastlane coming attractions sign 
had been taken down... but I dont recall reading anything else about it.

But anyways, if this hasn't already been mentioned, the Baronet has 
also had its coming attraction signs taken down, as well as the red 
lettering from the canopy (not the giant Baronet sign atop it yet, just 
the BARONET THEATRE lettering on the side of the canopy).

2008-09-23 Thread Jennifer
It is negative equity.  The value is no longer enough to securitize 
the amount of the debt.  Mortgages are secured by real property then 
bundled together and sold as mortgage backed securities.  When 
property values drop then the securities lose value.  NEDAP has a 
good chart on securitization on their web site 
http://www.nedap.org/resources/documents/onepagesecuritization2000p.pd
f

I didn't even mention in my first post all of the AP residents who 
may face losing their homes.  This applies to both owners and 
tenants.  How many are out there in loans they can no longer pay?  
How many are tenants of landlords who tapped their equity or 
qualified under relaxed underwriting guidelines?  I have no idea.  

I wondered as I listened to the congressional hearings today why they 
aren't bailing out the homeowners?  Wouldn't this secure the equity?  
If only my loss mitigation counselors had better tools and 
options!!!  I don't even need a huge bailout.  All I need is some 
sort of forgivable forbearance for some of the people in over their 
head.  Well maybe once the rich guys start to find paying their 
mortgages impossible?

I think Jen is real smart.

 Why are these owners in over their head?
a) misled on mortgage by banker, broker AND attorney who should 
double check papers
b) they lied as to income
c) those responsible for paying lost job(s)

How about all mortage applicants have to go to an independet third 
party for final approval. 

Kind of like an appraiser providing a neutral opinion based on 
facts on property value.

The third party loan officer is the appraiser - reviews all loan 
docs and the applicant and appraisal...

after that check - then the loan is approved.

Sounds like a pretty good business...

It's not the rich guys fault (unless they are the ones that gave the 
loan). You have to have SOME accountability. Basic math tells you 
what you can afford.

Now that I just got declined an a new auto purchase with more then 
half down, I have to stop posting and go to plans d,e,f.  Two 
applicants, both work, a couple lates here and there. Half down on a 
new car that is selling for 30% off sticker. And I get denied.

So lets tie this back to AP.

On Bloomberg, Barclay's purchase of Lehman may lead to about 5,000 
jobs being lost in NYC area, based on monies set aside for retention, 
job training etc.

Banks in general are just holder's of someone else's asset - your 
social sec number or tax id number. That's why it's easy to close 'em 
and transfer the money. A generic product.

Does it really matter if your bank is Chase or Bank of Asbury? For 
the most part, no.

Debt. The equity position your thinking of is Socialist Sweden, who  
the Bushies looked to to see how they handled a similar bank failure.  
The Paulson plan includes no equity for the taxpayer.

You've proposed some good ideas on this board, but respectfully this 
isn't one of them.

To me access to capital is akin to a civil right.  Do you really want 
some strong arm deciding capital goes here, capital doesn't go 
there.

No way.  I'll decide my own fate, thanks.

How far removed are you from your Jewish roots?  Do you think great 
grandfather Dorfman didn't have to figure out some way to capitalize 
his business becuause WASP banker wouldn't give him a loan?

Go ask Michael Milken about that.  It's exactly why and how he rose 
to power, and why they tore him down.  And that wasn't that long ago.

I'm sure Black people posting to this board will understand what I'm 
saying.

Bad enough my ability to run my life depends upon what three digit 
number some horse's ass at the credit rating agency gives me.

Don't put another strong arm on me.

According to the enabling legislation for Paulson's plan, we are 
buying assets.

We are going to sell Treasury Bonds to fund it, but that's not a debt 
unless the assets we are buying don't cover.

To say we are buying debts of the mortgagees is a terrible misnomer 
of the plan.

Here's the plan:

 
Published: September 20, 2008 
LEGISLATIVE PROPOSAL FOR TREASURY AUTHORITY

TO PURCHASE MORTGAGE-RELATED ASSETS

Section 1. Short Title.

This Act may be cited as .

Sec. 2. Purchases of Mortgage-Related Assets.

(a) Authority to Purchase.--The Secretary is authorized to purchase, 
and to make and fund commitments to purchase, on such terms and 
conditions as determined by the Secretary, mortgage-related assets 
from any financial institution having its headquarters in the United 
States.

(b) Necessary Actions.--The Secretary is authorized to take such 
actions as the Secretary deems necessary to carry out the authorities 
in this Act, including, without limitation: 

(1) appointing such employees as may be required to carry out the 
authorities in this Act and defining their duties; 

(2) entering into contracts, including contracts for services 
authorized by section 3109 of title 5, United States Code, without 
regard to any other provision of law regarding public contracts; 

(3) designating financial institutions as financial agents of the 
Government, and they shall perform all such reasonable duties related 
to this Act as financial agents of the Government as may be required 
of them; 

(4) establishing vehicles that are authorized, subject to supervision 
by the Secretary, to purchase mortgage-related assets and issue 
obligations; and

(5) issuing such regulations and other guidance as may be necessary 
or appropriate to define terms or carry out the authorities of this 
Act. 

Sec. 3. Considerations.

In exercising the authorities granted in this Act, the Secretary 
shall take into consideration means for--

(1) providing stability or preventing disruption to the financial 
markets or banking system; and 

(2) protecting the taxpayer.

Sec. 4. Reports to Congress.

Within three months of the first exercise of the authority granted in 
section 2(a), and semiannually thereafter, the Secretary shall report 
to the Committees on the Budget, Financial Services, and Ways and 
Means of the House of Representatives and the Committees on the 
Budget, Finance, and Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs of the 
Senate with respect to the authorities exercised under this Act and 
the considerations required by section 3.

Sec. 5. Rights; Management; Sale of Mortgage-Related Assets.

(a) Exercise of Rights.--The Secretary may, at any time, exercise any 
rights received in connection with mortgage-related assets purchased 
under this Act.

(b) Management of Mortgage-Related Assets.--The Secretary shall have 
authority to manage mortgage-related assets purchased under this Act, 
including revenues and portfolio risks therefrom.

(c) Sale of Mortgage-Related Assets.--The Secretary may, at any time, 
upon terms and conditions and at prices determined by the Secretary, 
sell, or enter into securities loans, repurchase transactions or 
other financial transactions in regard to, any mortgage-related asset 
purchased under this Act. 

(d) Application of Sunset to Mortgage-Related Assets.--The authority 
of the Secretary to hold any mortgage-related asset purchased under 
this Act before the termination date in section 9, or to purchase or 
fund the purchase of a mortgage-related asset under a commitment 
entered into before the termination date in section 9, is not subject 
to the provisions of section 9.

Sec. 6. Maximum Amount of Authorized Purchases.

The Secretary's authority to purchase mortgage-related assets under 
this Act shall be limited to $700,000,000,000 outstanding at any one 
time

Sec. 7. Funding.

For the purpose of the authorities granted in this Act, and for the 
costs of administering those authorities, the Secretary may use the 
proceeds of the sale of any securities issued under chapter 31 of 
title 31, United States Code, and the purposes for which securities 
may be issued under chapter 31 of title 31, United States Code, are 
extended to include actions authorized by this Act, including the 
payment of administrative expenses. Any funds expended for actions 
authorized by this Act, including the payment of administrative 
expenses, shall be deemed appropriated at the time of such 
expenditure. 

Sec. 8. Review. 

Decisions by the Secretary pursuant to the authority of this Act are 
non-reviewable and committed to agency discretion, and may not be 
reviewed by any court of law or any administrative agency.

Sec. 9. Termination of Authority.

The authorities under this Act, with the exception of authorities 
granted in sections 2(b)(5), 5 and 7, shall terminate two years from 
the date of enactment of this Act.

Sec. 10. Increase in Statutory Limit on the Public Debt.

Not the best biz minds in those roots. He worked hard, paid for the 
chicken farm himself, then dropped dead at 50the only thing my 
grandmother said was that if he had a dime left in his pocket, he'd 
figure out how to spend it. 

Why not a counselor for first time mortgage borrowers. There's 
quite a few attorney's who have done closings (or their staff) that 
only read the signature line. They're wouldn't flat out deny your 
loan - just add a verifcation level. It's a good 3rd party biz to 
sell to banks. Forget your rights attorney... 

Isn't an appraisal/er also the strong arm that decides if you need 
more money down?? Your Down payment is based on the Purchase price - 
but really your appraisal.

What if they arrested all the people who fudged the mortgage app to 
qualify- like they arrested people for downloading music?

I am prejudiced because I have worked in housing counseling since 1994, 
but I agree.  If everyone had a counselor to work with before they took 
out a mortgage then you would decrease the number of people who ended 
up in crazy mortgages.  You could never completely eradicate it unless 
counselors were required to sign off on the loan choice, but that's a 
bit too much.  How about mandatory first time homebuyer classes?  At 
least educate people that they have options.  Right now, people take 
advice from those who make a commission off of their decision.  Never a 
great situation IMHO.

Jennifer let me guess - in the counseling laws you propose above, you 
wil insist the counselors have immunity from lawsuits if they give bad 
advice.  You'll want to be completely unaccountable for your actions.

Am I correct, or will the counselors be accountable for the advice they 
give?

It's your law - you're proposing it.

What say you?

Well the borrowers who signed their notes aren't going to be tossed  
in jail (unless it's real real fraud)

No one takes into account TAXES that have to be paid and the likely 
hood that they always go up, as does cost of living.

How many loan officers and columns tell you that before you go buy a 
house, don't buy a car or anything large... until AFTER you get your 
house? 

Just eliminate property taxes across the board. That money property 
owners save, they can just go and dump it back in the economy.

I got dragged to Jersey Gardens on Saturday. You'd think they were 
giving the mall away. Packed. 

So what is when the Fed Gov pays about 90% of a person's housing 
costs in M County, PLUS food, education, insurance, training etc?

There are people that truly need the system and others ..you just 
have to KNOW the system and get what you want...

I have to go and figure out to get this car loan now. Tommy can you 
sue the CONSUMER credit rating agencies for missing one major factor 
in the formula ?

Tommy,
I am not proposing a law.  I just feel that knowledge would have 
helped many people avoid mistakes.  I think that mandatory education 
which covers all aspects of homeownership, but does not replace legal 
counsel is a good idea.  I am a housing counselor.  I've run 
counseling programs and trained counselors for a long time.  I've 
never been sued because counselors do not tell people what to do.  
They offer them knowledge and give them the tools to make their own 
decision.  Counselors are educated and certified.  I currently train 
housing counselors and their partners (some of whom are legal aid 
lawyers).  I teach counselors that they can only give people an 
understanding of lending practices.  I can't and wouldn't decide for 
them.  Suing your housing counselor for teaching you something you 
didn't or chose not to learn would be like suing your math teacher 
because you bounced a check.  You can't make people choose the best 
options.  I know that.  Some will always go for the quick and easy 
path even if it runs off of a cliff, but many would have chosen 
differently with the advice of a housing counselor.  What is wrong 
with that?

Google the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Haven't read it in awhile.

Can't remember if the reporting agency is on the hook or the alleged 
creditor.

I think it's just the creditor, but I could be wrong.

The burden of proof is on the creditor.  You can and should dispute 
your credit report with the credit reporting agency.  If the creditor 
doesn't provide proof then the CRA must remove the information.  You 
can also request that the CRA put information on your report (ex:  If 
you have a proof of payment just send a copy to the CRA).

I teach the Fair Credit Reporting Act and all of the other consumer 
protection laws in my homebuyer class.

The credit score is used not judge the credit worthiness of the 
borrower, but to add extra costs - higher rates, additional fees etc 
and STILL approve a loan - to someone who really might not be 
qualified, based on the real facts.

It's all used for everything else in your life.

So if you shop for a loan and they pull ur credit - you screw 
yourself by shopping for a loan.

I got denied in about 30 seconds today by BOA online. And we just 
closed out a car loan with them - that was paid on time and for quite 
a bit more $. This loan SHOULD be a no-brainer. They should hope I 
walk from the loan. 

Technically  - over-extended.

Done posting.

 Tommy,
 I am not proposing a law.  I just feel that knowledge would have 
 helped many people avoid mistakes.  I think that mandatory 
education 
 which covers all aspects of homeownership, but does not replace 
legal 
 counsel is a good idea.  

See your use of the word mandatory up there?  That means you are 
proposing a law.  

Let me compare your job to mine:

 I've 
 never been sued because counselors do not tell people what to do.  
 They offer them knowledge and give them the tools to make their 
own 
 decision.

Our jobs are the same - I don't make people's decisions either, 
rather give them advice like you do.

 Counselors are educated and certified.  

Our jobs are the same there too.

  Some will always go for the quick and easy 
 path even if it runs off of a cliff, but many would have chosen 
 differently with the advice of a housing counselor.

Our jobs are the same there.


So why should I get sued if my advice turns out to be bad, but 
you're off the hook if your advice is bad?

Oakdorf can get sued for bad advice.

Dan S can get sued for bad advice.

Why should you be off the hook?

ps - I'm just having some fun, so don't hold it against me.
All academic quesions, but still fun.

I know EXACTLY what you mean by that Dave.  Credit Reporting is a 
giant scam to charge you higher interest rates.

Here's my horror story:

I had a Pitney Bowes postage account.  I would download postage on 
credit, $500.00 at a time.  I never made minumum payments.  Always 
paid the full $500 so I'd always have plenty of postage.

After a year Pitney calls me:   Tom you are a great payer.  We want 
to reward you and raise your credit limit to $800.00  

Fine I say.  

Found out later that Pitney Bowes pulled my credit after I said OK 
to make sure they really wanted to raise it.  They did raise it.  
But the fact that THEY SIMPLY PULLED THE CREDIT REPORT made my score 
go down 7 points.

Moral of the story:  I paid on time, and my credit score went down.

I have more but I won't bore you.

I find it odd that they removed these things... we didn't hear of the 
historical society taking them (unless someone here knows otherwise).  
If the buildings are being demolished soon, why are they taking things 
off of them... why not just demolish everything then throw them in the 
dumpsters with the rest of the building. Something doesnt seem right.  
I think one possibility is that they are just going to paint both of 
the buildings completely gray or white or something, like they've 
horribly done to some other buildings, most notably their offices.  
Another possibility is that they are going to reuse the coming 
attraction signs on other venues like the Wonder Bar etc, and the 
lettering for the Baronet was just saved like the Metropolitan Hotel 
signs.
