In an interview on CNBC last Wednesday, Mark Calabria, director of the FHFA, which oversees Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, said he estimated about 2 million borrowers would seek forbearance by May. He did not agree that servicers need liquidity now, only later.
Others, however, have much higher estimates for the forbearance program. Laurie Goodman, co-director of the Housing Finance Policy Center at Urban Institute, predicted a worst-case scenario of nearly 12 million borrowers receiving some kind of forbearance at a cost of $66 billion for six months. Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics predicted about 15 million households would receive some forbearance on their home loans.
Even as Americans begin to receive checks from the government, there is no guarantee they will use that money to pay their mortgages. The forbearance program forbids servicers from asking for any proof of hardship. Bray said that was the right course. Stevens said borrowers should have been required to show at least some proof of hardship, which they had to do during subprime mortgage bailout. Moral hazard aside, he, too, contended a liquidity facility for servicers is essential.
Based upon this article, the mortgage bailout sounds like a hot mess! “He said he was told there would be federal cash for servicers, but that part of the deal never made it to the final act.” I’m concerned about requiring documentation on the back end instead of the front.
