Will Congress closing #FNMA #Freddie home Loans increasing down payments and interests rates benefit landlords?

Chairman Tim Johnson (D-SD) and Ranking Member Mike Crapo (R-ID) have reached a plan which will wind down and eliminate Fannie and Freddie and raise home loan rates

Congress in its wisdom has decided to increase interest rates for home loans and increase the deficit. Under this plan down payments will go up and without any insurance from the government the historically successful USA home lending program will be gutted causing a boom in rents and windfall profits for apartment landlords.

Shares of Fannie Mae (NASDAQOTCBB: FNMA  ) fell by an astonishing 40% and Freddie Mac (NASDAQOTCBB: FMCC  ) was not far behind dropping 30%, as a result of the announcement of the bi-partisan bill posed by the Senate Banking Committee to begin winding downing the two government sponsored entities.

The federal government took over Fannie and Freddie after propping them up with a $187 billion bailout. Since the bailout the Treasury department has turned a profit from its investment in the lenders.

2013 the year of Scandals - Crystal Balls Proved Reliable for Predicting CRE Market Performance in 2013

Commercial Lending Sales close to 2008 Interest rates up over 1% in last year Crystal Balls Proved Reliable for Predicting CRE Market Performance in 2013 - CoStar Group

Through the third quarter of this year, investment sales were up 27%,  according to CoStar COMPs data. Industrial investments were up 56% and  office up 27%; however, multifamily investments tapered off this year  and were actually down about 6%.




Predictions - Apartment purchases will pick up early in the year using FNMA loans and lines of credit - FHA 223 will be used primarily for refinances of strong borrowers with good liquidity and non-profit borrowers with good balance sheets due to its long processing time



Then FED taper will bring 50 bases points higher interest rates for ten year loans resulting in sales and refinances slowing in the second half of the year


Lending remains behind pre-recession levels

Total loan balances for all banks in the third quarter were $154.2 billion less than in 2008.

During that time frame, loans at banks with assets of less than $1 billion grew by $28.4 billion, or .7 percent annually, while loan balances for banks with more than $1 billion in assets decreased by $182.8 billion, or .4 percent.

At the same time, total assets for all banks grew by nearly $1.3 trillion, or 1.9 percent.

Much of that asset growth came from securities, or investments, that could pose a problem for banks in the future.
 More and more of those purchased securities are long-term [five years or longer], and they could be problematic as interest rates rise in the future.
