Fannie may limit

[p-dude]

Interesting article from Forbes. If no intervention
from congress, even all mighty Fannie can’t bail
housing from a big correction. So now, not only they
need to increase the limit on size of loans but also
to increase overall holding limits. This is like
saying to a borrower, “you are not qualifying for
a loan and if you did, we don’t have the money to give it you”.

Wow, this is very interesting. Over the past few weeks, all we’ve heard is that the lenders have cut back their business to focus on conforming loans only — those that could be sold to Fannie Mae. If Fannie cannot buy anymore loans, does this mean that the mortgage origination business is about to shut down altogether? No one will be able to get a mortgage?

I think that would be fantastic if that were to happen, but I fear that such an event would force Bush or someone to raise Fannie’s limits. It’s almost guaranteed that the taxpayers are going to be stuck fixing this mess in the end.

How about the home owners bail us out by taking a 50% hit to their home equity?
