The Best Deals in Real Estates are Not What It Always Seem to Be

The familiarity of the term real estate investments usually brings people to the general idea of home property. Although real estates may also mean offices, hotels, and other commercial properties, a residential investment is still the most commonly recognized beneficial form of investment and as the most valuable piece of investment, where all savings are worth shelling out for.

Real estate investments thru residential properties are widespread in the homeownership industry of the United States. You will find many of them leaving home or mortgaging it when struck by inevitable financial crisis. For some, they would go into financing institutions just to build their homes.

In the mortgage industry, two massive names in the field come to mind – Freddie Mac and Mannie Mae. They are the leading institutions in mortgage industry that truly hold a chief role in the business of financing homeownership for Americans. They are in the business of purchasing and guaranteeing mortgages, not originating or servicing, by way of a secondary mortgage market.

What happens is that those mortgage originators put up a direct mortgage sale or exchange mortgage pools to these two financial giants for a return of mortgage-backed securities. These securities become additional guarantees for a timely compensation of principal and interest to the security holder. Also, upon the sale, the funds that were used to originate mortgages are freed, enabling them to create more mortgages later on. To keep it short, Freddie Mac and Mannie Mae assist in the financial flow from Wall Street to Main Street.

But are these two giants really an advantage in the world market? While they are on a public trade in the New York Stock Exchange, they are actually government-sponsored entities that hold great bond with the Federal Government. This bond exempts them from state and local taxes, gives them five board directors-appointees by the US President, and a support to their liquidity from the Secretary of the Treasury.

These advantages carried on to the market were seen as unfair by critics, mainly because whatever security issued by Freddie Mac and Mannie Mae implies a guarantee by the US government. That is, a failure in the system of the firms could always be bailed out by the government. But this guarantee echoes one thing to the public – a cheap access on funding.

Despite their immense popularity, the possible risks that these big firms may extend to the financial condition of world market remain unrealized or unseen by many. Since the concentration is geared to only two companies, the interest rate and credit risk is even higher. Any mistake of practice in their system would erode a great deal of stability in the world’s financial market. While their large business scale is an advantage, this same characteristic also ironically becomes a disadvantage for them as seen by some critics. Managing mortgage risk becomes more complex and may lead to a bigger systematic risk to American economy.

As being relayed to the public, the said purpose of Freddie Mac and Mannie Mae is to assure a stable flow of mortgages that are low-cost and federal-guaranteed. So, they are also able to issue corporate debts with lower profits as compared to other financial institutions, which are also deemed unfair for some firms holding real estate investments.
