European Concerns Increase
 
Increased concerns about Europe helped mortgage rates improve this week, although the impact of the recently passed extension to the payroll tax reduction is beginning to push up mortgage rates for certain loans (discussed below).
The news from Europe was mostly negative this week. Economic growth in Germany was slower than expected. Negotiations on restructuring Greek debt did not progress as planned, increasing the risk of default. S&P is downgrading the debt of several European countries, including France. Finally, the European Central Bank (ECB) provided no relief, as it gave no indication that it would increase the level of aid available to troubled countries. As a result, investors shifted funds to relatively safer investments, including US mortgage-backed securities (MBS), which helped mortgage rates move lower.

The recently passed extension to the temporary payroll tax reduction contained a lightly publicized revenue raising provision to increase the guarantee fees charged on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loans. This fee results in higher rates for borrowers, and mortgage rates for loans not expected to close within the next month or so have begun to reflect this coming increase in guarantee fees.

Current Events
What is happening in todays marketplace.

In response to the “mortgage meltdown” in 2009, the Federal Government has tightened licensing requirements for all mortgage loan originators. By December 31, 2010, all loan officers will have passed a new National, as well as a new State Exam. These conditions are in addition to having a current license issued by the California Department of Real Estate and to the current continuing education requirement of 45 hours every four years. Real Estate Agents are exempt.

Mortgage Originators must further undergo a criminal background check through NMLS, submit electronic finger prints, allow access to their personal credit report, and have paid all association fees. Once a loan originator has completed all these tasks then he/she will have a “MLO” designation which is short for Mortgage Loan Originator. By 2011, Mortgage Bankers and Mortgage Brokers will be the most educated loan originators in the marketplace! Bank loan officers are not subject to these strict requirements, as they are regulated by different federal and state laws-some of which require no experience,no licensing  and no education. Banks have their own  criteria when hiring “loan professionals”, so borrowers be aware of the benefits of working with an MLO
