Tag Archives: Deeply Delinquent Loans

Warren and Capuano are trying to prevent the delinquent mortgage loans from being acquired by investors who are quick to foreclose on them. The lawmakers would rather see the loans acquired by non-profits who would be more likely to engage in the loss mitigation process with borrowers and prevent foreclosure.

Approximately 33 percent of the aggregate pool balance consisted of loans that were modified and later became delinquent. The aggregate pool has a loan-to-value ratio of approximately 91.1 based on broker price opinion and is geographically diverse, according to Freddie Mac.

According to Freddie Mac, the SPO of JPMorgan-serviced loans are being marketed as two geographically diversified pools that are offered via auction, with bids due from qualified bidders on October 6. Freddie Mac said the sale is expected to settle in December 2015.

The smaller Community Impact Pool consists of 75 high-occupancy and geographically focused loans with about $11 million in unpaid principal balance (UPB). The transaction is expected to close on October 26, 2015, according to Fannie Mae.

Fannie Mae announced the winning bidder for its second-ever sale of deeply delinquent non-performing loans (NPLs) on Thursday, which included approximately 3,900 loans.

The NPLs in this transaction are being serviced by Ocwen Financial, according to Freddie Mac. The loans are deeply delinquent, which means in many cases they are delinquent by two years or more and are likely either in foreclosure or some stage of loss mitigation.

FHFA, Freddie Mac's conservator, stated in its 2014 Report to Congress released in June that "FHFA's expectation is that the sale of seriously delinquent loans through non-performing loan sales will result in more favorable outcomes for borrowers, while also reducing losses to the Enterprises, and, therefore, to taxpayers."

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.

SW Sponsor, LLC, was the winning bidder for Pool No.1 , which included 710 loans with an aggregate UPB of $173.8 million; the winning bidder for Pool No. 2, which included 2,358 loans with an aggregate UPB of $587.9 million, was Neuberger Berman Fixed Income Funds’ affiliate PRMF Acquisition LLC.

As part of the continued effort to excise all deeply delinquent, non-performing single-family residential loans from its mortgage portfolio, Freddie Mac has announced its first-ever Extended Timeline Pool Offering (EXPO) auction.
