Mortgage Cooperative may Replace Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac

A major aspect of the bipartisan housing finance reform legislation introduced by Senators Tim Johnson (D-SD) and Mike Crapo (R-ID) of the Senate Banking Committee is a mortgage cooperative to ensure small and regional lenders can sell their loans for cash. As nationalmortgagenews.com informs MHProNews.com, the cooperative would initially be funded by the government, replacing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The bill would allow members with assets of up to $500 billion, which excludes only the largest five banks in the country. A bill introduced last summer by Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN.) and Mark Warner (D-VA) was designed for small and medium-sized lenders, and was funded by members instead of by the government. More details will emerge as Senators Johnson and Crapo release the text of the measure. ##

  2. A mortgage loan is a loan secured by real property through the use of a mortgage note which evidences the existence of the loan and the encumbrance of that realty through the granting of a mortgage which secures the loan. However, the word mortgage alone, in everyday usage, is most often used to mean mortgage loan.
    The word mortgage is a French Law term meaning “death pledge”, meaning that the pledge ends (dies) when either the obligation is fulfilled or the property is taken through foreclosure.You can even log on to buisness&finance
