February 2012

From June 2009

January 2012 What is the biggest obstacle for the housing market? This is a simple answer: foreclosures. There have been about 6 million homes liquidated since 2007. Another 8 million homes will be liquidated over the next four years. All together, 14 million homeowners will lose their home, which is a quarter of all homeowners with a mortgage. 12

February 2012 We expect the shift from owning to renting to persist for the next few years as a result of three factors. First, foreclosures will naturally transition many homeowners to renters. Second, it will be challenging for currenters to become homeowners given the drop in net worth and income. Third, we expect credit conditions to remain tight for some time. In our view, the homeownership rate is likely to drop to 64%, with a risk of briefly undershooting

January 2012 National home prices have declined 33% from the peak in 1 Q 06 through 3 Q 11, returning to mid-2002 levels. We expect prices to undershoot relative to fair valuation, declining another 7% from 3 Q 11 through 1 Q 13.

February 2012

From August 2010

From January 2015 According to Core. Logic reporting: In January 2015, the foreclosure inventory was down 2. 7% from December 2014, Representing 39 months of consecutive year -over-year declines. And…….

From January 2015 The current foreclosure rate of 1. 4 percent (of All Homes with a Mortgage) is the lowest inventory level since March 2008. National Foreclosure Inventory 33. 2% Compared to January 2014

Shopping For a Home Mortgage affordability estimate As soon as you think about buying a home, you should first get an estimate of the mortgage amount you can afford based on your income and debt. Rule of thumb You can usually borrow 4 to 5 times your annual income, depending on your monthly debt, including Real Estate Taxes / Insurance / Common Charges or Maintenance on the subject unit. * Results of the mortgage affordability estimate/prequalification are guidelines; the estimate is not an application for credit and results do not guarantee loan approval or denial. 21

Pre. Qualification • Allows you to choose a mortgage program and determine whether you will qualify for a mortgage, without any obligation while you shop for a home. • You can receive a conditional approval letter within 24 to 48 hours ~ A Conditional Approval makes your offer more attractive to the seller. • You’re serious about an offer since you have initiated your financing. • Your offer is credible since a bank has approved you. 22

Adjustable Rate Loans Adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) • Lower initial rate vs. fixed-rate mortgage • Initial fixed period – 1/3/5/7/10 • Index/Margin • Caps (adjustment and lifetime) • Adjusts annually after fixed • Ideal if buyer plans to sell before end of fixed period How a One-Year ARM Works Home sale price: Less (10%) down payment**: Mortgage amount: Mortgage term: $400, 000 $ -40, 000 $360, 000 30 years Loan amount: One-year index: Margin: Fully-indexed rate: Initial rate cap: Periodic cap: Lifetime cap: $360, 000 4. 80% 2. 25% 7. 00% 5. 00% 2. 00% 5. 00% Monthly payment at (6%): *$2, 158. 38 *Amounts shown here do not include items like taxes or insurance.

Adjustable Rate Loans (continued) ARM vs. fixed-rate mortgage • How long are you going to keep this home? • Do you need more house than a fixed-rate affords? • Will your cash-flow accommodate potential rate increases? • Would you use money saved in interest to prepay or otherwise invest for a higher return?

Interest Only Loans Interest Only vs. ARM mortgage Do you plan to pay down mortgage aggressively? If not… • In the adjustment period…payment shock • Higher interest rate possible • Full or near full balance still outstanding • Less time to amortize (27, 25, 23, 20 years) depending on product selected

Creative Financing Alternatives to traditional mortgages… • Home equity programs that permit a simultaneous first mortgage and second mortgage closing • Temporary buy-downs (up-front fee or premium used to buy down the interest rate for a temporary time period)

Creative Financing Continued Using a creative underwriting style • Asset Dissipation – This is when an asset such as a mutual fund / stock/ savings / checking / vested amount in retirement account is averaged and considered income. The method can be used for employed or retired borrowers.

Condominiums - Where’s the Risk Condominium living means participation in an association where the residents must rely on each other and their Board members to keep the property and its financials in good standing. HOAs which are run poorly: § Run the budget in the red § Levy large assessments for unnecessary work § Apply for improper insurance coverage (in an effort to cut costs) leading to additional cost for the association members § Allow too many investors to purchase units in one building § Have Board members who are unwilling to address building needs in an effort to reduce costs § Have relaxed policies for delinquent dues

Condominiums - Where’s the Risk HOAs frequently must raise their dues or assess additional one-time fees in order properly run the association. Some of the causes of rising dues are: § Need to increase reserves for future protection § Rising cost of repairs § Rising cost of insurance § Unexpected damages needing repairs § Updating to property § Supplementing large influx of delinquent dues § Original developer “low balled” the dues to make the property more attractive Once these dues are raised other problems can arise: § Homeowners unable to make new payments and forced to sell § Property is not as attractive to prospective buyers § Association tempted to not make future necessary repairs to avoid another assessment

Condominiums - Where’s the Risk The collective reliance on each resident within the HOA to fulfill their financial obligation is imperative for the stable existence of the project. If a large influx of residents do not pay their dues on time it can lead to: § Increased HOA dues § Classification of project becoming “non-warrantable” due to more then 15% of the HOA being more then 60 days delinquent - Owners unable to sell because buyers cannot obtain loan or desired terms from their lender - Possible further delinquency or foreclosure if buyers are unable to sell place in a time of need § Special assessments for all owners their
