The true extent of Wall Street's role in the current mortgage and credit crisis is revealed for the first time by authors Paul Muolo and Mathew Padilla, two acclaimed journalists who have long tracked the financial industry. In CHAIN OF BLAME: How Wall Street Caused the Mortgage and Credit Crisis (Wiley; $27.95; July 2008, Hardcover), the authors spin a tale of greed and recklessness all around Countrywide Chief Angelo Mozilo, whom Muolo has known for 20 years. Going behind the scenes of Mozilo's dramatic rise and fall, the book outlines his love-hate relationship with The Street, and how he paved the way for mortgage banking firms to use loan brokers who had "no skin" in the lending game. The idea was to fund loans as quickly as possible and securitize them through Wall Street. It was then Wall Street's job to transform the mortgages into "investments" and find people (sometimes suckers) to buy them. The whole system became concerned with one thing: earning a commission.
Muolo and Padilla chronicle this disaster, and explain in detail what went wrong at the nation's top subprime lending institutions including Countrywide, and non-banks such as New Century Financial, Ameriquest Mortgage and its sister firm, Argent Mortgage, the latter two of which were owned by the late Roland Arnall, former ambassador to the Netherlands, and a large political donor to the George W. Bush. (Many of the nation's largest non-bank subprime firms were backed by such Wall Street giants as Bear, Stearns, Credit Suisse, Merrill Lynch, Lehman Brothers and Greenwich Capital, among others.
Revelations from CHAIN OF BLAME include the following
(and more):
-
Wall Street firms like Merrill Lynch and Bear Stearns were using sweat shop contract underwriting firms to review billions of dollars worth of mortgages from 2004 to early 2007. Some workers interviewed by Muolo and Padilla believed the edict was to review one loan an hour or never get called again for a job.
-
Some workers told the authors that certain supervisors working for the contract underwriting firms of Clayton Holdings and the Bohan Group changed the ratings on loans to please their Wall Street clients. At the same time Wall Street supervisors didn't seem to care too much about quality because they were more interested in quantity: they had loans to securitize and bond investors to sell those securities too-especially overseas.
-
The inside story of went wrong at Angelo Mozilo's Countrywide Financial, the nation's largest home lender.
-
How various lenders kept lists (such as Countrywide's "Friends of Angelo's") in order to give special concessions and deals to influential people
-
An inside look at the rise and fall of the Bear Stearn hedge funds, based on subprime assets, created by Ralph Cioffi and Matthew Tannin who currently face federal prosecution.
-
How America's subprime debacle sparked a worldwide credit crisis.
-
Which reputable Wall Street firms couldn't resist the gold rush despite growing evidence that subprime delinquencies were growing.
-
What led to the rise and fall of Ameriquest Mortgage, the nation's largest subprime lender.
-
The first definitive history of subprime lending in America with juicy details about how this business started out with 'Repo Men' throwing bald grannies out of their homes.
-
The reasons why it could be a full decade before the U.S housing market recovers from the losses and price declines of the past 18 months.
CHAIN OF BLAME is a sweeping, narrative of greed run amok, one that has not come down the pike since James B. Stewart's Den of Thieves and Michael Lewis's Liar's Poker.
About the authors:
Paul Muolo is the co-author of the bestselling "Inside Job: The Looting of America's Savings and Loans." He is the executive editor of National Mortgage News, which won a Polk Award in 1990 for its reporting on the S&L Crisis. His freelance work has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Barron's, Playboy, and various other publications.
Mathew Padilla (Santa Ana, CA) is a business reporter for The Orange County Register and a regular business news commentator on KOCE and KDOC television. His work on the subprime crisis was recognized by the Society of American Business Editors and Writers and was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize. He also hosts the popular Mortgage Insider blog website, which has been featured on CNBC, MarketWatch, and Editor & Publisher.
Copies of the book will be available for purchase and autograph

June 19, 2008
Speaker:
Author,
investor, educator,
Michael Morrongiello
TOPIC:
"Paper" into Cash - The Convertible Currency
How to Manufacture Your Own Financing
Don't
just survive the credit crunch - THRIVE during changing market
cycles!
Discover how
to effectively create marketable real estate-secured Notes that can
be easily and readily converted into a cash lump sum. With the real
estate markets softening, Wall Street no longer buying certain
loans, and qualifying criteria becoming more stringent - with the
right knowledge, you can fill the void in the marketplace by
offering seller financing for both the acquisition and disposition
of properties.
What
is Seller Carryback financing?
When a
property seller assists the buyer by acting as the lender, the
property seller may finance part or all of the sale. The term given
to such seller financing is "carryback financing." A seller is
literally carrying back part or all of the financing on the
property instead of a financial institution.
In today's tight credit Market; Seller carryback financing is vital
to a successful sales program. It is so important that if more
property sellers, their agents, buyers, and Real Estate Investors
understood the principles of seller carryback financing, more real
estate activity would be generated across the country than with any
other marketing tool!
A Few
Advantages of Seller Carryback Financing:
It makes a
listing more salable.
It provides
the seller with an interest return (yield) on their note that
exceeds savings accounts, CD's and money market
accounts.
The seller
carryback note(s) can be an extremely safe
investment.
The seller carryback note(s) can be made salable, should the holder need cash in the future.
At
this Meeting you will learn About;
-
Understanding "Paper" - WHY use seller financing to buy or sell
-
Different types of security instruments which can be used
-
Relationship between PRICE vs. TERMS
-
Wrap's -- Your Multi Purpose Financing Tool
-
Magnifying yield & capturing amortization
-
Deal Structuring tips, tricks, and techniques
-
Using other collateral
-
The some NOW, some LATER concept
-
Generating solutions and how to profit with "paper"
* The type of
notes preferred by "paper" investors or note buyers. Owner-occupied
homes are the most desirable. History has proven them the most
stable. Notes secured by land usually have the greatest
risk.
* Real estate
values fluctuate both up and down over time, even in good areas.
Why a note holder's best protection against loss is
protective equity established at the time
he acquires a note. An owner with a substantial equity who is
paying on a note will be motivated to protect his/her equity
position.
Some
Terms & Concepts to become familiar
with:
Your
Financial Calculator:
TIME:
Expressed in months or years (Calculator symbol =
N)
INTEREST:
The rate of interest or yield desired usually expressed per month
or per year (Calculator symbol = I). The annual interest rate must
be divided by the number of payments that the note requires during
the year. Monthly + by 12, Quarterly + by 4, semi-annually + by 2,
etc.
PRESENT
VALUE: The dollar value today of dollars to be received in
the future. (PV is the symbol.)
PAYMENT:
The amount of money paid periodically on the note. In the above
example, payment includes principal and interest. (Payment is the
PMT symbol on a financial calculator.)
FUTURE VALUE: As a seller carried back of a note to be fully amortized over 10 years, the future value (FV on the financial calculator) would be zero. However, suppose a note has a future balloon payment due before it fully amortizes. If you are solving for PV, you must first calculate the amount of the balloon or the Future Value (FV) before you can calculate or solve for the discounted PV value.
More
Terms
PROTECTIVE
EQUITY: Is the current market value of the property less
the total debt on the property. It is the sellers' or lenders'
cushion against possible loss. The larger the protective equity,
the more protection for the lender. Note: Having substantial
protective equity is the best way to take back a mortgage without
being taken.
LOAN-TO-VALUE
(LTV) ratio is the amount of debt on a property
expressed as a percentage of the Fair Market Value (FMV) of the
property. Example: A property valued at $100,000 has a first loan
of $50,000 and a second loan of $20,000. The $70,000 total debt
divided by the $100,000 Fair Market Value (FMV) = 70% LTV. The
lower the loan-to-value ratio, the more equity an owner has. For
example, with only $50,000 debt, the same property would have a LTV
ratio of 50%.

Creating Wealth During Uncertain Times
 |
Don't miss the wonderful opportunity to listen and learn from John Schaub
* Buying from sellers and lenders who are in trouble
* Using Investor money for your down payments
* Structuring financing that gives you the cash flow
* Buying property with the greatest profit potential
* Attracting and keeping the best tenants in your town.
* Selling quickly at market prices in a soft market
About John Schaub:
John has survived eight Presidents and prospered for 30 years as a landlord. He authored the original single family house seminar in 1976 which launched thousands on their way to successful investing. He is still an active buyer and engaged in managing his business and investments, when not traveling with his family, or building homes for Habitat for Humanity.
John is a reformed "Big Deal" guy, who discovered that most of the big talkers had small bank balances. John stresses keeping it simple. He talks only about what he has done and what has worked and sometimes not worked for him. John spends nearly all of his working time making deals and managing his properties. He teaches only three seminars a year.
He stresses buying better, well located houses as opposed to less expensive houses or other income properties. Better houses are much more profitable and far less trouble. He advocates paying off debt, owning properties free and clear and maximizing cash flow by only buying properties with larger profit potential, financed so they produce immediate cash flow.
John graduated in 1970 from the University of Florida College of Business, was an active Realtor for 10 years and served as President of both the Sarasota and Florida Real Estate Exchangers. He is listed in the Hall of Fame of Who's Who in Creative Real Estate, featured on the cover of Personal Finance magazine and was recently quoted in Forbes.
He is an advocate for privately owned affordable housing. He served 7 years on the International Board of Habitat for Humanity and has served four terms as President of the Sarasota Habitat Affiliate and served 17 years on their board.
John's wife Valerie, a real estate attorney, and their three perfect children enjoy skiing, boating, diving, horseback riding, and touring the country in John's plane. John is an instrument rated pilot and has been flying his own plane since 1973.

The Mortgage Meltdown Freeze = Fraud
Part 1 –
San Mateo, CA Attorney, freelance writer;
Sean Olender
MORTGAGE MELTDOWN
Interest rate 'freeze' - the real story is fraud
Bankers pay lip service to families while scurrying to avert suits,
prison
Excerpt:
…unfortunately, the "freeze" is just another fraud - and like the other
bailout proposals, it has nothing to do with U.S. house prices, with
"working families," keeping people in their homes or any of that
nonsense.
The sole goal of
the freeze is to prevent owners of mortgage-backed securities, many of
them foreigners, from suing U.S. banks and forcing them to buy back
worthless mortgage securities at face value - right now almost 10 times
their market worth.
The ticking time
bomb in the U.S. banking system is not resetting subprime mortgage
rates. The real problem is the contractual ability of investors in
mortgage bonds to require banks to buy back the loans at face value if
there was fraud in the origination process.
And, to be sure, fraud is everywhere. It's in the loan application documents, and it's in the appraisals. There are e-mails and memos floating around showing that many people in banks, investment banks and appraisal companies - all the way up to senior management - knew about it.

The Campbell
Method: A Proven Timing
System that Tells You EXACTLY When to Buy
and Sell Real Estate to Make Maximum Profits!
"Is now a good time to buy ...
or should I wait?"
"Should I sell now ...
or will housing prices go even higher?"

Dear Real Estate
Investor:
Imagine for a moment how you would feel if you could predict major
turning points in the real estate market.
Suppose somebody handed you a 21-year time-tested
system that would tell you ahead of time when property values
were going to hit a peak … and then when prices were going to hit
bottom years later.
If you could anticipate these kinds of critical real estate events in
advance … then not only could you make spectacular profits, but you
could protect your money as well.
Sounds pretty amazing, doesn't it?
Actually, it's not. The real estate market does signal its future intentions
if you know where to look.
Hello. My name is Robert Campbell and I wrote Timing the Real
Estate Market to help both professionals and ordinary people
make the most money in real estate with the least amount of risk. Based
on a major breakthrough in tracking and
predicting real estate trends, my book reveals the real estate timing
technique that I call The Campbell
Method.
As far as I know, The Campbell Method is the only proven method in the world that shows how to accurately anticipate upcoming changes in your local real estate market.
What this means
is that when you read Timing the Real Estate Market,
you are going to learn how to make – and protect – your fortune in real
estate in the same way that J. Paul Getty, the Rockefellers, Warren
Buffett, and other super-rich investors made their fortunes: by
focusing on WHEN to buy and sell.
It’s true. When
it comes to making money in real estate, nothing beats good
timing.
The reason that The Campbell Method is going to change the way you think about how to buy and sell real estate is that I share my truly remarkable discovery of five key real estate indicators. I call them “Vital Signs," and they're able to predict the peaks and valleys of real estate cycles with an almost uncanny accuracy. As “leading indicators” to what’s looming on the horizon for real estate prices, these Vital Sign indicators act like windows into the future, giving you advance notice of approaching trend changes from three to six months before they become obvious to the general public.
Author's
Note: Timing the Real Estate Market is used
at the University of San
Diego by Professor Elaine Worzala. The class: Real Estate
Investment. "The logic behind these Vital Sign indicators is
air-tight," says Professor Worzala. "I'm very impressed, and my
students love your book."
Copies of Timing the Real Estate Market will be available for purchase and autograph by Robert Campbell at the meeting.
