American Home Mortgage Corp. filed for bankruptcy protection on Monday, the latest casualty of a mortgage industry that has plunged into distress.

Has The Global Credit Crunch Arrived

Wow! The Home Mortgage Credit Crunch - Global Credit Crunch arrived
I’ve met Paul Knag a couple of times last year and respect his opinion about Home Loans, mortgage loans, the housing market - a market I occasionally write about even though I don’t own a home (and never have - I’ve rented my entire life).
I have worked onarchitectural house plans sites and from that perspective, learned a lot bout the housing market - because I needed to understand why someone would buy an architectural house plan and hire builders or DIY, or a combination of both.

The Great Sub-Prime Collapse of ‘07
To distract myself from my rapidly shrinking net worth, I’ve been reading about the credit markets. For me, running what was (from a certain point of view) a dot com company, the tech bubble in 2001 was easy to understand. But I don’t have much experience with the fixed income market and, outside of a general knowledge that sub-prime ARMs are imploding, I’m not familiar with the details.

Real life example #2: Countrywide, as the first lien holder, has just started foreclosure on another of my listings. The 2nd lien holder, again, is AHM. My Seller received foreclosure papers from AHM this week and has 20 days to respond. Well…what does he do now? Does the fall out of AHM buy him more time?

Were American Home Mortgage Underwriters Evasive?

“I finally called my buyer the other day to ask him how things were going between his lender and him. He admitted that he wasn’t very pleased with her at the moment. It turns out that the underwriter had gotten her to call him a few days earlier to ask him for copy of his CPA license. Considering that he’s putting down 20%, has a middle FICO score that would make any banker blush with envy, and was supposed to close next Monday, it struck him as absurd that they suddenly wanted this document.”
