Moody’s Gets Notice from SEC: May Lose Status as Rating Agency

Investors were misled as to the value of the security not only because the home appraisals were inflated, and not only [...]

Non-Profit Lenders Step in to Provide Post-Foreclosure Modification

Non-Profit Lenders Step in to Provide Post-Foreclosure Modification

Editor’s Note: Principal reduction can be achieved in more ways than one. Here Non-profit Lenders see the clear opportunity to buy mortgages from dubious sources and then enter into new mortgages with the homeowner thus preventing eviction and restoring the homeowner to non-distress status.
