Is Mortgaging Real Estate Homes Safe and Sound?
By David Jackson of Carpediem Articles
Real estate homes are the most precious personal possessions that anyone can ever invest on for the longest time. Aside from the fact that homes are symbols of financial rewarding moments, it also becomes a lifetime companion. That is why some homeowners involve a great deal of emotional baggage once their properties are either sold or mortgaged. Whilst the idea of mortgaging your real estate homes is advisable for specific situations, is it safe to hand out your property in gigantic financial corporations? In the United States, gigantic means two firms alone: Freddie Mac and Mannie Mae. They are government-sponsored yet publicly traded enterprises engaged in the market for a public service, mission, or purpose: to provide a smooth and stable flow of low-cost funds for mortgages. Being government-sponsored means relating bonds or ties with the Federal Government. Federal connection bestows them with advantages such as tax exemptions. The bond between these big firms and the government also gives the implication that every security issued by Freddie Mac and Mannie Mae is also a security or a guarantee derived from the government itself. So the belief follows that if something goes wrong with the firms, the government would come in-between and bail them out. Nevertheless, these giants have been set with particular limitations as well, which may also mean a loss for additional revenue. They are not permitted to enter into any disparate line of industry, outside real estate homes mortgage industry, or cut their support for the residential mortgage market. Nor are they allowed to engage in businesses of other housing finance firms. Regardless of their image to bring public service, these firms are believed to be still profit-driven and high-risk potential. Although they do not service or originate mortgages, their purchases and guarantees of mortgages are done through a secondary mortgage market. The mortgage originators sell directly these mortgages or exchange mortgage pools with Freddie Mac and Mannie Mae for mortgage-backed securities that carry a guarantee of timely payments of principal and interest to the security holder. But the Federal bond that contributed to the fact that made their companies really big is also at the same time a risk factor to them. Managing a large amount of credit and interest risk is absolutely risky, because the complexity or risk management and the size of their accounts remain to be seen as a possibility for a larger systematic risk. When something goes wrong with any practice of these two companies, the impact will be felt by the financial market throughout the world. Previous revelations from Freddie Mac in 2007 rocked the world when they announced big credit-related losses, seen to be such a great risk for the whole financial system. Against other corporations, the Federal ties have also created a somewhat unfair advantage for Freddie Mac and Mannie Mae; it enabled them to provide debts with lower interest fees that are not possible for other companies. Take for example in the year 2007, all mortgages came to a standstill but mortgages of those two firms remained on the line. The Federal bond has made it clear to the public how these firms play a vital role in the financial market. Critics felt that by allowing the market to focus on two financial firms alone poses a bigger danger to the public, said to be at the expense of the American taxpayers.
