Soon only the "real" banks are going to be left.

Re: Greenpoint and FNBA
And here I am sitting with a stack of GreenPoint disclosures and a GFE for my refi. My broker just told me last night to keep the docs since he had not heard back from anyone about the stipulations to close. I guess I can trash all this paperwork.
Good thing I locked in with my current mortgage company, Chase, last week.

Re: Greenpoint and FNBA
If you currently have a commitment with Greenpoint, as of now, they are still supposed to fund those loans.

Re: Greenpoint and FNBA
That's what I was told with American Home Mortgage but it never funded. We closed in early July but a document was not original and had to be redrafted. We closed again in late July, prior to them shutting down, and it did not fund.
I decided to go with Chase (my current mortgage company) after the two incidents with American Home but my broker insisted on trying to get me into a program with a much lower payment. That turned out to be GreenPoint.
I'm just doing a traditional 30 year fixed with Chase.

I cannot agree that the loans were stupid. Much of this is due to stated income loans but the stated income loan does have a place. Self employed borrowers have issues with documentation from Audited Financials (thousands to an accountant for that), business taxes, 3 years personal and corporate tax returns explanation for high and low income years.

im not talking just about stated income - which I disagree much of this is NOT due to stated income - usually with stated income you at least have a good FICO- im talking about interest only ARMs for people who make $50K a year buying a $500K house!
eta: "The real estate market nationwide has contracted and investors have shunned mortgage-backed securities since defaults on loans to home buyers with poor credit rose to a record earlier this year."
Theres the key - buyers with POOR credit.
