Washington, DC, March 29, 2008 --(
PR.com)--
FEDs expected to announce new Mortgage Guarantee Swaps through the FHA
this week. Finally government relief for homeowners facing
foreclosure.
In an unprecedented move the President Bush, Treasury Secretary
Paulson and the Federal Reserve have reversed their position on
helping homeowners at risk. President Bush has been saying he would
veto any legislation that would help Homeowners and Investors facing
foreclosure. He has announced his support of the newest plan offering
FHA guaranteed mortgages.
On Monday, Treasury Secretary Paulson is expected to announce sweeping
changes that will affect all financial businesses, expanding the
control of the Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve
"I am not suggesting that more regulation is the answer, or even that
more effective regulation can prevent the periods of financial market
stress that seem to occur every five to 10 years," Paulson will say in
the remarks he will deliver on Monday.
But the plan does seek to address problems highlighted by the current
crisis in which the Fed in an unprecedented move has begun making
direct loans to securities firms in an effort to shore up a system
badly shaken by billions of dollars of losses stemming from sour
mortgage loans.
The proposal would allow the Fed, in its new role as "market
stability regulator," to dispatch examiners to check the books not
just of commercial banks but of all segments of the financial services
industry.
The proposal will force the mortgage lender or the owner of the note
to reduce the value of the loan based on current property values and
then a new mortgage would be issued at the adjusted value through the
FHA.
