Real Estate Tips

When you buy a house on a home loan mortgage, this mortgage is the property of the ‘lender’ until it is finally paid off by you. The lender sells this mortgage to other financial institutions as part of its investment strategy. It is typically pooled together with thousands of other mortgage bonds, then divided up into chunks which investors buy, reinvesting the income from those mortgages. The correct procedure, when a mortgage changes hands, is for both the seller and the buyer to sign an ‘assignment note’ which is then attached to the mortgage documents, and which the new owner keeps. This small step is what has caused the Foreclosure Crisis.

The foreclosure crisis began during the property boom, when housing sales were being pumped through at such a rate that the property and legal system could hardly cope with the work flow.
This seemingly ‘unimportant’ little step of attaching the assignment notes sometimes tended to be overlooked. It was usually just registered electronically. In most cases, the assignment notes do actually exist, but not where they should be, attached to the rest of the mortgage documents, and they are difficult to trace. To compound the confusion, in the current economic crisis, some of the original mortgage lenders and banks have gone bankrupt or merged with other banks and financial institutions. Now to try and trace these notes is a mammoth task indeed.
