Rate Uncertainty
The document discusses the uncertainty around future interest rate movements in Canada. It notes that economists disagree on whether the Bank of Canada will raise or lower rates in the future. A CIBC economist is quoted as saying the Bank of Canada does not know what will happen with rates and that variable-rate mortgages may outperform fixed-rate mortgages over the next 2-3 years, though fixed may be better over the following 2 years. He advises that there is no rush to decide between fixed and variable mortgages in the next 12 months.
Are 30 year fixed mortgages safe?
This document compares the safety and advantages of 30-year fixed rate mortgages versus VA hybrid loans. It argues that VA hybrid loans are actually safer for long-term homeownership because they have much lower initial payments, allowing homeowners to pay down their principal faster and save more for unexpected expenses. Even as interest rates rise on a hybrid loan over time, payments will remain lower than the fixed 30-year rate. This makes the hybrid safer for retirees or those on a fixed income, as payments are more predictable and affordable throughout ownership. The document aims to dispel myths that fixed rates are inherently safer, when hybrid loans can result in being debt free sooner with greater financial flexibility.

This document summarizes recent trends in the US housing market, including interest rates, home prices, foreclosures, and short sales. It notes that interest rates have been kept artificially low by government intervention but are expected to rise in the coming years. Home prices nationally are projected to continue declining in 2010 before hitting bottom, and foreclosure and delinquency rates remain elevated. Short sales are increasingly seen as an alternative to foreclosure for distressed homeowners and the government has created incentives for short sales through programs like HAFA.

While actual losses so far are smaller, future losses could be larger if housing prices decline further. The bailout aims to prevent cascading bank failures but risks moral hazard by rewarding past poor decisions.

Before you jump on Big Data Wagon
The document discusses big data and the challenges organizations face in leveraging large amounts of data. It notes that while organizations generate huge amounts of data from various sources, they typically only use a small fraction for analytics and insights. This is due to difficulties integrating data across systems and the growth of unstructured data sources. Big data platforms claim to help organizations better utilize all of their data, both structured and unstructured. However, organizations feel overwhelmed by the many vendor options and challenges regarding implementation, existing investments, and moving away from traditional data models. The document will address these challenges in future posts to help organizations understand how to effectively leverage big data.

Decoding U.S. Mortgage Rates: Factors and Trends
When it comes to purchasing a home, many Americans rely on mortgage loans to make their dream of home ownership a reality. One of the most important factors to consider when taking out a mortgage is the interest rate. Mortgage rates play a crucial role in determining the overall cost of a home loan, and they can vary widely depending on a number of factors. In this essay, we will explore the current state of mortgage rates in the United States and the factors that can impact them.
Hedge Fund Looks to Capitalize on Peer-to-Peer
Direct Lending Investments, a hedge fund that specializes in buying small business loans, committed $250 million to provide capital for loans made through peer-to-peer lending site Biz2Credit. This is Direct Lending's largest commitment to date.

Graebel_ReloTRENDS_ClosingCosts
Mortgage closing costs have increased for the second year in a row, averaging $2,539 for a $200,000 loan. Stricter federal regulations like the Qualified Mortgage rule have added time and costs to the lending process, which are passed on to consumers. Rising closing costs disproportionately impact first-time and young homebuyers due to other financial barriers like student loan debt.
Presentation Pds Partners
This document provides information about Americans' high levels of credit card and other debt. It notes that in 2007, the average credit card debt per American was $9,840, and over 60% of credit card holders carry a monthly balance. It then discusses options for dealing with debt, including doing nothing, bankruptcy, debt consolidation loans, credit counseling, and debt settlement. It argues that debt settlement can eliminate 30-50% of unsecured debt and allow people to become debt free in 3-7 years, making it the fastest and least expensive option for most people facing financial hardship and unable to pay all their monthly debt obligations.
BANKING
Banking finance deals with providing credit through mortgages, loans, and financing. It involves underwriting loans and mortgages according to regulations to ensure credibility and fair treatment of customers. Interest rates depend on factors like the housing market, loan term, and borrower circumstances. Banks may reduce rates in a depressed market to help customers maintain payments.
Matthew Cunningham Sept Newsletter
1. The document discusses the impacts of tightened lending standards and increased savings rates in the US following the financial crisis. While prudent on an individual level, some argue this will slow economic recovery by reducing credit availability and consumer spending.
2. Lenders have tightened standards due to high default rates, while individuals have increased savings and paid down debt in response to job losses and economic uncertainty. However, experts want more lending and spending to stimulate growth.
3. The debate centers around whether continued conservative lending and spending habits will prolong the recession or lead to sustainable recovery. Both sides make reasonable arguments about the role of credit in fueling economic activity in the short and long term.

Mortgage rates scraping bottom again
- 1. Mortgage rates scraping bottom again Mortgage borrowers are getting the lowest rate mortgages of the year right now. The 15-year fixed hit 3.08% according to Freddie Mac's weekly survey, a tenth of a percentage point lower than last week and down sharply from 3.36% early in the month. Rates for 30-year loans dipped 0.05 percentage point to 3.92%. "For borrowers hoping to pull the trigger on a refinance, this spate of the lowest mortgage rates since June 2013 is a pretty good opportunity," said Keith Gumbinger of HSH.com, a mortgage information company. With equity markets on a roller coaster and bad economic news roiling Europe, investors have fled to safe havens in bonds and mortgage-backed securities, depressing interest rates. It's a boon for existing homeowners with mortgages a few years old. Borrowers can swap their old 30-year loans at, say 5% or more, for spanking new 15-year loans at the current rate.

But instead of making payments of $1,075 a month for 25 more years, they'll pay $1,423 for 15 years and then be mortgage free. So, if they can afford the higher monthly bills, borrowers can save more than $137,000 in interest over the term of the loan. The opportunity may not last long, though, according to Gumbinger. Markets are very volatile right now, so rates could change quickly. "It pays to be prepared to jump and lock in a rate when they come along," he said.
