THE “INHERENT ERROR”

How do you know for certain that Western capitalism is in crisis? When questions about its failure become one of the main session topics at Davos. (Actually, in 2012, there were three sessions dedicated to the topic). The failure to anticipate and explain the 2007/2008 global financial crisis has turned the field of economics into one of the most derisive disciplines in academia, and is accelerating an ongoing process of creative destruction of economics in general. This year’s Intellectual Catalyst, Yanis Varoufakis, explains the “inherent error” in all economic models and theories and how it changes everything we thought at least someone knew about the world, and how those changes impact our world of housing finance.

THE STATE OF THE WORLD

THE UNRAVELING A sequel to last year’s theme of “The Entanglement” as the latest stage of globalization in which sovereign destinies are intertwined, this year we focus on “The Unraveling” as we begin to see (and come to terms with) the declining trajectory of the global economy. Providing an overview of the most crucial issues impacting the global economy, we discuss how those issues, including the spread of the European debt crisis, will impact the U.S. We will also discuss internal U.S. economic issues including QEIII and in doing so, are likely to inadvertently step into a pile of political discussion. Finally, as the opening, “Big Picture” panel each year, we’ll address contemporary intellectual issues including the failure of economics and how theory and fundamental assumptions about financial issues are changing; the evolving role and use of game theory in anticipating economic shifts and investment returns; systemic risk and why “Too Big To Fail” still matters; the devastating impact of escalating inequality and student debt on the future of U.S. housing, and other compelling and inevitably controversial topics.

Featuring leading economists, analysts and expansive thinkers on U.S. housing finance, this session provides a comprehensive update on the state of the U.S. housing finance industry. In addition to a complete analysis of current market dynamics and quantification of market metrics including the fundamentals impacting credit and collateral, we cover house prices; mortgage performance; foreclosure inventory; Agency and non-Agency RMBS performance and vulnerabilities; origination volumes; the progress of current government programs to stimulate housing market recovery; the implications and implementation of forthcoming regulation; prospects and implications of QE and the overall near future of the market. We titled this session “Rorschach” as an observation about the remarkable diversity of opinion and analysis on the industry today.

To mortgage originators, January 10, 2014 is a date as feared as the end of the Mayan Calendar. This is the date on which the CFPB’s “Final Rule” goes into effect. Concurrent with the issuance of the Final Rule, the CFPB has also issued Proposed Amendments to Regulation Z, known as “The Concurrent Proposal”. In this sweeping regulation, there is hardly a loan that remains unaffected. Of greatest concern to originators is the new section 129C to the Truth in Lending Act, which requires creditors to determine a consumer’s ability to repay (“ATR”). This session discusses QM and QRM and the inevitable constriction of credit (which some say will retract by 30% to 40%) as a result of the new regulation; prospects for the increase in loans excluded from the ATR, and lending models that could potentially serve as a viable detour to current regulation.

PHASE ONE OF THE FHFA STRATEGIC PLAN – BuILDING A NEW INFRASTRuCTuRE FOR THE SECONDARY MORTGAGE MARKET

YOU SAY YOU WANT A RESOLUTION In February of last year, FHFA Acting Director Ed DeMarco presented Congress with a comprehensive and ambitious Strategic Plan for the next phase of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Conservatorships based on three primary goals: 1) Build a new infrastructure for the secondary mortgage market; 2) Gradually contract the Enterprises’ dominant presence in the marketplace while simplifying and shrinking their operations; and 3) Maintain foreclosure prevention activities and credit availability for new and refinanced mortgages. This one-on-one interview is focused on the FHFA’s work with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to design and build a single securitization platform that can serve both Enterprises and a post-conservatorship market with multiple future issuers. Given the goal of the platform to encompass issuance, disclosure, bond administration and master servicing, the new infrastructure could become the industry’s greatest utility – with profound implications for the market moving forward.

u.S. HOuSING MARKET REFORM

IF I HAD A HAMMER In late 2007, as the housing finance industry descended into a prolonged state of entropy, the U.S. government intervened to provide a “quick fix” to the market and ended up becoming the market fixture. Today, U.S. taxpayers guarantee approximately 90% of all new mortgages, amounting to around $5.1 trillion and growing. Over the past five years, collaboration among industry experts, trade organizations, academics and think tanks has resulted in a wide variety of proposals for housing finance reform, most of which have had minimal impact on policymaking to date. However, as the tenor surrounding debts, deficits, austerity and sequestration rises in the political sphere, policymakers are finally motivated to propose legislation to restructure the current governmental role in the market. This session compares and contrasts the two most recent pieces of legislation: Representative Jeb Hensarling’s 2011 GSE Bailout Elimination and Taxpayer Protection Act, reintroduced on July 12 of this year as the Homeowners and Taxpayers Protection Act of 2013; and Senators Corker and Warner’s Housing Finance Reform and Taxpayer Protection Act of 2013. We also compare and contrast the three proposals that represent the most viable options for comprehensive market reform

One of the most anticipated traditions of this event is the ever provocative and highly interactive annual Champagne Debate. This year two teams representing key sectors of the industry and key sectors of consumer advocacy square off to debate the industry’s perspective on regulation that has gone too far vs. specific areas in which consumer advocates feel that regulation has not gone far enough. Throughout the session we will be discussing specific details of all settlements and regulations which have, currently are, and will be dramatically impacting the market.

The recent public disclosure of the sheer extent of NSA surveillance activities dramatically reveals the capabilities of “Big Data.” The term refers to massive volumes of information that were previously too big to capture, store, manage, and analyze. Traditionally undertaken in the realm of science and research, “Big Business” now has the tools to economically benefit from Big Data, not to mention Big Government. The Holy Grail of the mortgage industry is the creation of a single database comprising all loan information in the industry. In collecting more, and better data, more real-time observations can be made about an unlimited number of industry dynamics. However, more data and observations provide even more room for interpretation, amplifying the Rorschach effect. Currently, the most crucial mortgage information has been aggregated by private firms specialized in collecting, aggregating analyzing specific types of industry data – yet thus far, no firm has all of the data. And that is about to change. Notwithstanding the inordinate competitive advantages of private firms capable of maximizing the value of Big Data, the need for transparency and more effective micro-prudential regulation has led to the creation of comprehensive databases in all areas of real estate and financial services. This session focuses on the impact and implications of two of those endeavors: The OFR database which, if traction can be gained, promises to be the mother of all databases; and the National Mortgage Database, which is a joint initiative between the CFPB and FHFA that is anticipated to launch this year. We will also discuss how Big Data is currently being used in the mortgage industry, and the overall positive and negative aspects of a Big Data future.

This session is titled in response to the pervasive mentality that as the market recovers, market practices, behavior, and profits will return to that of the past. Moving forward, serious obstacles continue to impede market progress, transparency, and investment returns (both of and on capital), and crucial issues in all sectors remain unaddressed. This session identifies and confronts those issues without fear or favor.

WHAT IS THE BEST INVESTMENT IN HOuSING FINANCE THIS YEAR?

THE BEST TRADE

Last year we introduced a new debate to compare, contrast, and vote on the best investment in housing finance that year. This year marks the establishment of a tradition to end the event each year on this topic, with the session hosted by the previous year’s winner. With the respective investments listed below, each representative firm will discuss the strategy, inherent risks in that strategy, and prospective returns over what timeframe. At the end, the audience will vote on which investment they would make.

INTRODuCTION AND OVERVIEW

RENTING, THE FUTURE In opening comments, Toni Moss discusses the editorial narrative of this year’s program. As the session title suggests, “Renting, the Future” is based on the premise that the emergence of Single-Family Rental – as an industry sector, and as an alternative to homeownership that will increase exponentially over time - is an inevitable outcome of globalization, in which the financial crisis was merely the catalyst.

IN CONTEXT

IVY ZELMAN

As we’ve seen over the past three years, the evolution of the Single-Family Rental sector is extremely dynamic, and characterized by complex variables that are in a crucial stage of definition. In this session, we compare the metrics, models and methodologies used by leading analysts to value the sector and differentiate the firms that define it, as well as the challenges that rating agencies have faced in upcoming securitizations.

CAPITALIZATION OF THE SINGLE-FAMILY RENTAL SECTOR Given the diminishment of public equity market activity beginning earlier this year, this session looks at how market players are financing their growth and the accumulation of assets through leverage. We primarily focus on debt options, which are expanding across a spectrum from the lowest to the highest cost of capital from securitization to credit facilities to new financing alternatives recently developed for the SFR sector.

ADVANCING THE DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW SECTOR

ON THE VERGE

We know that to date, approximately $17 billion to $20 billion in capital has been raised and/or invested to acquire approximately 150,000 single-family homes. We also know that there are currently four public REITs focused exclusively on single-family rentals, several publicly traded firms have made significant investments, the first historic securitization is imminent, and some analysts estimate the potential for the sector to grow to almost $100 billion over the next few years. And yet there is no consensus on something as basic as a definitive title for the sector. Is it the Single-Family Rental sector? REO-to-Rental? Buy-toRent? Or Single-Family REO? Considering the high (and often critical) media profile, inherent complexities, and rapidly evolving nature of Single-Family Rental, this session discusses the need for definition and direction to bring credibility, standards, and investment focus to the sector. Toward that end, we review existing models including a think tank (SFRS) and trade organization approach to determine the best strategy to establish, support, and lead the sector moving forward.

YOU CAN’T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT

2012 saw the largest amount of acquisition activity for distressed properties to such an extent that the pursuit has been characterized as a “pie eating contest”. However, with a dwindling supply of distressed inventory, for many late-comers, the only pie left is humble. This session dives deep into the supply side of Single-Family rental, including current rental prices and sizing the current foreclosure inventory; current sources of short sales and REO; purchasing NPLs as a means of acquiring assets; where future acquisitions will be coming from and how they will be priced, and the inevitability of consolidation of sub-scale operators as supply dwindles down. At least for now

THE HEART OF THE MATTER

This session is focused on the challenges of scaling single-family rental featuring firms that are performing the operational functions in-house vs. those using third-party providers, discussing the pros, cons, costs of each respective approach, emerging best practices for resident management, and scattered-site rentals. We also discuss the cost-benefit analysis of resident incentives, the alignment of interests between operators and property managers, and the success and failure of lease-to-own.

LEADING INITIATIVES IN NEIGHBORHOOD AND COMMuNITY REVITALIZATION

YOU CAN FIX A HOUSE, BUT CAN YOU FIX A NEIGHBORHOOD?

The initial promise of single-family rental was the large-scale renovation of foreclosed properties to stem the tide of neighborhood decline resulting from the crisis. Institutional investors have, for the most part, focused entirely on individual properties, leaving it to the non-profits to revitalize neighborhoods. The need for community redevelopment is so great that today, non-profits are increasingly partnering with for-profit firms wit surprisingly profitable outcomes. This session discusses some of the more unique opportunities, initiatives, and cutting-edge projects that make a crucial difference in distressed communities around the country.

CLASS OF

2013

NOTE: NOT ALL ATTENDEES WERE ABLE TO SEND BIOS AND PHOTOS TO US BEFORE OUR ACTIVE DEADLINE, AND then, suddenly, a bio-gremlin appeared, to shift, rearrange and mysteriously remove some bios, here and there. Overnight. To make up for this, Shirley will email the post-event yearbook in PDF format (or make it available for download) to all registered attendees of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show. NEW OBSERVATIONS (OVER 2012): Taylors still run strong as the surname of choice, while J-names seem to be in vogue for many men. East-West education divide still there, with a strong showing by the midwest.

RENTING, THE FUTURE? THE FOLLOWING IS A SHAMELESS REPRINT FROM CONTINuuM 2012: THE CLASS OF 2012 YEARBOOK. THE TIME LINE IS STILL BEING MAINTAINED, BuT SO MuCH IS HAPPENING. THE BEST PRESENTATION OF IT WILL BE ONLINE. AFTER AMERICATALYST 2013. Those of you who attended AmeriCatalyst 2011 may remember the servicer time line, which we began keeping after AmeriCatalyst 2010 and continued to chronicle even after printing it in the yearbook for AmeriCatalyst 2011. While we continued to keep up with the goings-on of servicers and the servicing sector post-AG settlement, in early spring, we felt it was time to pick on another part of the industry. We’d already “done” globalization, to a certain degree. At EuroCatalyst 2007, we published a time line that took a look at mergers, acquisitions, the creation of warehouse lines and other market activities across the globe going back to 1993. From the acquisition of Banca Popolare di Lecco by Deutsche Bank in November 1993, the creation of Kensington Mortgages by Marty Finegold in the UK in January 1994, and the purchase of Aurora Loan Services by Lehman in 1997, through to at least 300 globalization/subprime/credit/liquidity-crisis-related activities by banks, governments and investors around the world in the period spanning January to October 2007. Sovereign default fears aside, spring 2012 saw a wave of Buy-to-Let (Buy-to-Rent)/REO-to-Rental “news” items make the headlines. And then, of course, “Renting The Future” (or “Renting, the Future?”) is the theme of the bulk of the sessions on Day 2 of this year’s event. So what better subject to scrutinize. Read On. Rather good material for those late-night trivia games.

2009-01-13

Fannie Mae announces the establishment of the National Real Estate Owned Rental Policy (Tenant in Place), a program designed to allow qualified renters in Fannie Mae-owned foreclosed properties to stay in their homes.

2009-03-05

Freddie Mac launches its REO Rental Initiative, a plan that gives qualified tenants and former owners the option to lease their recently foreclosed properties on a month-to-month basis.

2010-02

Andrew Jakabovics and the Center for American Progress, in a paper titled “An Untapped Source of Green Rental Homes,” urge policymakers to set up a program “to convert already foreclosed homes owned directly by the federal government into thoroughly energy efficient, affordable rental homes that can be resold as portfolios of rental properties to private investors.”

2010-07-15

The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) announces the First Look Sales Method, which allows groups participating in the Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) exclusive access to review and purchase for eligible use - including rental - newly conveyed FHA REO properties located in NSP-designated areas before they are listed for sale to the general public.

2010-09-01

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) unveils the National First Look program, in which REO properties held by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and others are made available for sale to NSP grantees prior to being made available to the general public (such as private investors). HUD says that the nation’s leading financial institutions have signed up to participate in the National First Look Program, representing approximately 75 percent of the REO marketplace. These include Bank of America, Chase, Citi, Deutsche Bank, GMAC, Nationstar Mortgage, Ocwen Financial Corporation, Saxon Mortgage Services, U.S. Bank, Wells Fargo, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the FHA.

2011-07-20

Morgan Stanley’s research team issues a Housing Market Insights on “A Rentership Society,” which, the team believes, is the direction the U.S. is moving toward as a result of “the combination of falling home prices, limited mortgage credit, continued liquidations, and better rental options.” The team says that “each distressed single-family liquidation creates a potential renter household, as well as a potential single-family rental unit. The better match of single-family properties for these involuntary owner-turned-renters should drive demand for single-family rentals.”

2011-07-27

Amherst Securities’ MBS Strategy Group issues a Mortgage Insight in which it calls investors key to increasing housing demand and notes that “single family homes for rent could potentially become an attractive new asset class for investors.” The paper argues that housing prices “can best be cushioned by increasing financing for investors, which will allow a higher rate of return on invested equity.” The Insight concludes that this, in turn, “should encourage more purchases at current prices and promote market stability.”

2011-08-10

The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), in consultation with Treasury and HUD, announce an RFI seeking input on new options for selling single-family REO properties held by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the FHA. FHFA’s objective is to help address current and future REO inventory, support rental and affordable housing needs. The FHFA ultimately receives more than 4,000 responses to the RFI by the September 15 deadline. The FHFA later reveals that about 10% of the 4,000 responded fully to questions posed in the RFI. “Most respondents,” the FHFA said later (Nov. 30), “suggested disposition strategies that involved renting properties for a period of time.”

2011-09-15

John Burns Real Estate Consulting, in its response to the FHFA RFI, declares that “selling REO homes to investors makes the most economic sense for the banks, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, HUD, and the American taxpayers,” and urges that “current regulatory and political pressures that prohibit or discourage these institutions from adopting this sound economic decision” be relaxed.

2011-09-20

Laurie Goodman, in testimony before the U.S. Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Subcommittee on Housing, Transportation, and Community Development, calls long-term investors “the only potential buyers of many distressed homes that are likely to hit the market over the next 5-6 years,” and says, they “need to be part of the solution.” She stresses that any successful program to address the glut of foreclosed properties must have four objectives: • be scalable enough to have an impact • hold homes off the “for sale” market for several years • place the risk and responsibilities of owning the real estate with financially strong and operationally sound managers • maximize the economics for the GSEs and the taxpayers. One important way of achieving these objectives, Laurie says, is to allow for opportunities for bulk purchases of REO properties and non-performing loans, with each auction focused on a narrow geographic area to maximize the economics for the GSEs.

2011-10-06

In written testimony before the US House of Representatives Committee on Financial Services Subcommittee on Insurance, Housing and Community Opportunity, Carol Galante, Acting Assistant Secretary for Housing–Federal Housing Administration Commissioner, outlines the Mortgage Acquisition and Disposition Initiative (“601-Note Sales Program), a pilot program that gives the FHA the opportunity to acquire mortgages before homes become REO properties and sell them though open auctions. The entity that acquires the notes through the auction is prevented from selling the home from foreclosing on borrower for an additional 6 months.

2011-10-21

In a report titled, “Equal Footing: Financing Single Family Rentals,” Western Asset Management Company notes that demand for rental housing is strong, translating into rent increases across America, and that the “combination of declining home prices and strong rents is creating a situation in which an investment in single-family rental housing can earn a reasonable return.” The report believes that a program should be developed to place the single-family market on equal footing as the multifamily market by providing limited leverage to investment buyers. “A well-structured financing program for single-family rental housing would help to create a floor in home values across distressed markets while at the same time providing attractive returns to the lender,” the report says.

2011-10-27

Thirty-three U.S. Senators write a letter to the U.S. Treasury Department, HUD and FHFA, urging the Obama Administration to quickly develop an efficient and effective REO management strategy to make better use of vacant foreclosed homes. “We urge you to analyze, quickly and diligently, the input you have received so that all REO properties under your control may be best managed to produce the most value for Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and FHA. As part of this analysis, we ask that you also keep in mind the importance of looking for the most effective ways to stabilize neighborhoods and housing values.”

2011-10-27

Morgan Stanley Research Team releases report on Housing 2.0: The New Rental Paradigm. “As institutional ownership of single-family rental properties grows, hopefully with the help of government intervention, but even without it, we believe that the housing market is already beginning to undergo that fundamental change to support a more renter-heavy society,” the report says, adding, “we believe that we are in the early stages of the development of a new institutional- owned asset class: single-family real estate.” The report says that opportunities to participate in single-family rentals exist for both equity and debt investors, and that “single-family and multifamily rentals can co-exist without taking market share from each other.”

2012-01-04

Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke and his staff release a white paper “The U.S. Housing Market: Current Conditions and Policy Considerations,” as a “framework for thinking about certain issues and tradeoffs that policymakers might consider.” In the white paper, the Fed notes that the market for rental housing is strengthening and that there is a long-term need for an expanded stock of rental housing.

2012-01-18

Carrington Holding Company LLC announces an agreement with Oaktree Capital Management to fund an initial purchase of up to $450 million in distressed single-family homes across the country.

2012-02-01

The FHFA announces the framework of the REO initiative, a program designed to partner with the investor community to facilitate the conversion of government REOs to investor-owned rental properties. The FHFA encourages investors interested in buying government-owned REOs in bulk for use as rental properties to register with Fannie Mae in order to pre-qualify as an eligible bidder.

2012-02-16

Morgan Stanley’s Housing Market Insights reports that “the Year of the Landlord is off to a fast start, with both private investors and government programs targeting the opportunity to turn distressed single-family properties into rentals.” The Insights team belies that “one of the greatest potential effects of Buy-to-Rent is job creation, with the possibility of creating over 1 million jobs in the hard-hit construction and real estate industries. Best of all, these jobs could be created by private capital without the use of taxpayer dollars, and generally cannot be outsourced.” The team believes that operating efficiency “will be the leading driver for investor returns.”

2012-02-17

IFR (International Financing Review) reports that Freddie Mac has begun talks with institutional mortgage-bond investors interested in buying hundreds of distressed single-family residential properties across the U.S. in order to convert them to rental units. Freddie Mac is making efforts to fast-track its own version of a proposed US foreclosure-rental program, even though the Obama administration and the US Federal Housing Finance Agency have so far only officially sanctioned the REO initiative, according to IFR, which says that “Freddie Mac’s own plan has apparently gained traction over the past two weeks, and its proposed strategy of disposing of its enormous overhang of REO properties is likely to differ from Fannie’s in important ways, particularly in how qualified investors may be able to procure financing to buy the pools of foreclosed single-family homes.”

2012-02-21

FHFA Acting Director Edward J. DeMarco sends to Congress a strategic plan for the next phase of the conservatorships of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The plan builds on the Acting Director’s February 2010 letter to Congress on the conservatorships and sets forth objectives and steps the FHFA is taking or will take to meet its obligations as conservator. The FHFA identifies three strategic goals for the next phase of the conservatorships: • Build: Build a new infrastructure for the secondary mortgage market; • Contract: Gradually contract the Enterprises’ dominant presence in the marketplace while simplifying and shrinking their operations; and • Maintain: Maintain foreclosure prevention activities and credit availability for new and refinanced mortgages.

2012-02-23

Lewis Ranieri and RCG (consulting group) publish white paper promoting government efforts to convert foreclosure homes into rental properties as a positive example of public-private collaboration to fix the U.S. housing market.

2012-02-27

The FHFA announces the first pilot transaction (2,490 properties in a portfolio of Fannie Mae owned tenantoccupied and vacant REO single family residential properties) under the REO initiative, targeted to hardest-hit metropolitan areas — Atlanta, Chicago, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Phoenix and parts of Florida.

2012-02-27

Warren Buffett tells CNBC’s Squawk Box that he’d buy up “a couple hundres thousand” singl-family homes if it were practical to do so.

2012-03-02

The National Association of Realtors (NAR) voices concerns over the FHFA plan, and instead continues its call for improved lending to creditworthy home buyers and urges lenders to make more loan modifications, mortgage refinancings, and short sales, to help stabilize struggling housing markets. NAR urges that a national advisory board be created to ensure that current and future REO-to-rental pilot programs “truly benefit the local community, minimize taxpayer losses and stabilize home values, and suggests substantial participation of local market experts, especially licensed real estate professionals, who have unparalleled knowledge of local market conditions.”

2012-03-05

The strategy/research team at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, in the latest US Macro Viewpoint, expresses support for the REO-to-rental plan, noting “three primary ways the REO-to-rental program can support the housing market and the economy: removing foreclosures from the for-sale market, reduces competition for voluntary sellers, underpinning prices of non-distressed homes. In addition, clearing foreclosure inventory will help to equilibrate the market, creating opportunities for new single family housing construction. And finally, converting single family homes into rentals limits the upward pressure on rents.”

2012-03-16

Fannie Mae data note tips single-family rental housing as the fastest growing component of the rental market, taking data from the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey to examine the shift in patterns and characteristics of single-family renters and single-family rental housing at the national level.

2012-04-05

Federal Reserve releases policy statement on REO-to-Rental, taking steps to encourage banks to turn more of their foreclosed homes into rental properties, in hopes of lessening the flood of distressed property sales that is depressing prices.

2012-04-11

CoreLogic report (MarketPulse Vol. 1 Issue 4) finds the best opportunities for REO single-family rental investors to be in Florida and the Midwest, “which boast high cap rates and a large stock of potential REO properties.”

2012-04-23

Rebuilding Together, NeighborWorks America and the National Community Stabilization Trust (NCST) join together in a collaborative effort to support homeownership and sustainable communities across the country through the rehabilitation of vacant REO properties. Although the nonprofit organizations have previously worked together, this announcement marks a new three-year partnership that will allow the groups to collaborate on new and innovative approaches to transforming vacant and dilapidated properties into safe and decent affordable homes in the communities they serve.

2012-04-25

TCW, in a report titled, “Buy, Hold, Lease: Investing In The Housing Turnaround,” says it believes that the time has come for investors to view housing stock not just as collateral backing RMBS holdings, but as a value proposition in and of itself. Additionally, “we believe the same long-term, buy-hold-lease strategy that can reward investors can also help local communities weather the housing crisis by ending the cycle of foreclosure, vacancy and neglect that threatens entire neighborhoods,” TCW says, noting that, “The investment opportunity in the single-family market today is unique in that rarely are private sector incentives so aligned with public sector interests. Our national housing market is anchored by an unprecedented overhang of distressed supply creating a negative feedback loop we are all too familiar with.”

2012-05-01

Clear Capital releases data showing that national home prices are still falling but also that price resiliency against increasing REO saturation is supported by a heating up rental market and investor enthusiasm. “There has been quite a bit of buzz in the housing industry surrounding turning REOs into rentals. Our data suggests early activity from these programs could be starting to take effect, with national REO-only home price gains on a price per square foot basis vastly outpacing fair market prices on a national level,” according to Alex Villacorta, Director of Research and Analytics at Clear Capital. “Should investor interest continue to drive the expansion of REO-torental programs over the next several months, there could be a significant impact on the market overall in terms of providing a rising floor to home values.”

2012-05-03

Beazer Homes USA, Inc. announces, in a press release, the contribution of its pre-owned rental homes business, consisting of nearly 200 single-family homes in Phoenix and Las Vegas, to a newly formed real estate investment trust. The REIT, which will be named Beazer Pre-Owned Rental Homes, Inc., was organized to acquire, refurbish and lease recently-constructed, previously-owned single-family homes on a large scale in select markets in the United States, according to the release. It claims to be one of the first REITs focused exclusively on the single-family home rental market.

2012-05-04

Standard & Poor’s issues report on the securitization potential for REO-to-rentals. Potential credit considerations would likely include rental income, operating expenses and other costs, the geographic diversification or concentration of the portfolio, and the proceeds from eventual property sales, S&P says, adding that the property manager’s expertise in large-scale residential real estate management and ability to manage subservicing arrangements may also be a credit consideration.

2012-05-07

CoreLogic unveils its new REO-to-Rental Data Offering, a property data and analytics service for investors participating in the FHFA REO-to-Rental program and other similar private programs.

2012-05-07

Meg Burns of the FHFA, in testimony before the US House of Representatives Committee on Financial Services, makes it very clear that the initial FHFA offering is just a pilot and should not be construed as an indication that Fannie will abandon its reliance on existing retail sales strategies as the primary vehicle for liquidating its REO inventory. Burns tells committee members that the program is aimed at some of the 180,000 REO properties owned by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.

2012-05-07

Sean Dobson of Amherst Securities, in testimony before the same committee, lists the benefits of bulk sales in the FHFA pilot program, and praises the program for bringing a new type of buyer to the market, “one with a long investment horizon, properly priced capital and a reduced friction operating platform with scale pricing.” Other benefits include saving current occupants, minimizing rental inflation, helping increase house prices, and halting “the concept of housing as a threat to the economy.”

2012-05-14

FHFA Acting Director Edward J. DeMarco releases for public comment the FHFA’s draft Strategic Plan: Fiscal Years 2013- 2017. The FHFA is updating its plan in order to incorporate the strategic plan for the conservatorships of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (see 2012-02-21 above). The plan sets four strategic goals for FHFA: 1. Safe and sound housing government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs). 2. Stability, liquidity, and access in housing finance. 3. Preserve and conserve Enterprise assets. 4. Prepare for the future of housing finance in the U.S. Within these goals, the FHFA identifies specific performance goals that align with its view that “as conservator, FHFA focuses on improving the Enterprises’ operational efficiency and effectiveness, maintaining foreclosure prevention efforts and credit availability for new and refinanced mortgages, reducing the Enterprises’ footprints in current mortgage markets, and building infrastructure for future mortgage finance markets.” In its plan, the FHFA reports that it continues to work with HUD and the U.S. Department of the Treasury “to consider alternatives to dispose of real estate owned (REO) properties on the books of the Enterprises and the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) using approaches tailored to the needs and economic conditions of local communities.”

2012-05-17

Calif Rep. Gary Miller introduces a bipartisan bill to stop the FHFA from bulk sales of REO properties for rental purposes in California. H.R. 5823. “Saving Taxpayers from Unnecessary GSE Bulk Sale Programs Act of 2012”, the bill’s goal is “to prohibit the Federal Housing Finance Agency from disposing of certain real estate-owned of such Agency, the Federal National Mortgage Association, and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, under the initiative of such Agency for bulk sales of real estate-owned.”

2012-05-21

DBRS releases an RFI on single family rental securitization in which it recognizes the “inherent economic sense of such a product” and outlines variables DBRS will take into consideration before beginning the rating process. Borrower credit and equity would be less of a factor compared to the maintenance of the home, terms of the rental agreements and how the properties are managed, DBRS says.

2012-05-22

FitchRatings, in a release on real U.S. residential real estate prices, notes that REO-to-rental programs targeting “neighborhoods that have seen the largest declines could help eliminate the negative externalities of vacant homes, improve the quality of the housing stock, and, ideally, revive,” these neighborhoods. Fitch says it sees some interest in this trend beginning to take hold with professional investors. Since the beginning of the year, various small- to mid-sized private equity firms have bought homes in tight geographic areas with the intention of renting them, Fitch notes.

HUD announces the Distressed Asset Stabilization Program, “an expansion of an FHA pilot program (see 2011-10-06 above) that allows private investors to purchase pools of mortgages headed for foreclosure and charges them with helping to bring the loan out of default.” The DASP note sale, part of the government’s effort to address the shadow inventory, is expected to kick into action in September. The FHA note sales program began as a pilot in 2010 (see 2010-07-15 above) and has resulted in the purchase of more than 2,100 single family loans to date. Under the program, FHA-insured notes are sold competitively at a market-determined price generally below the outstanding principal balance. Once the note is purchased, foreclosure is delayed for a minimum of six additional months as the borrower gets direct help from their servicer to help to find an affordable solution to avoid foreclosure. The investor purchases the loan at a discount and then takes additional steps to help the borrower avoid default, whether through modifying their loan terms or helping them through a short sale, in order to maximize the return on the sale.

The FHFA announces that it has chosen the winning bidders in its REO pilot initiative and says that transactions are expected to close early in the third quarter. Market response was robust with strong qualified bidder interest, it says. Investors were qualified to bid after a rigorous evaluation process and were evaluated on the basis of several factors, including financial strength, asset management experience, property management expertise and experience in the geographic area, it says. “FHFA undertook this initiative to help stabilize communities and home values in areas hard-hit by the foreclosure crisis,” said Edward J. DeMarco, Acting Director of FHFA. “As conservator of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, we believe this pilot program will assist us in achieving our objectives and help to maximize the benefit to taxpayers. We are pleased with the response from the market and look forward to closing transactions in the near future.”

Fannie Mae’s Economic & Strategic Research team publishes the results of its exhaustive study into factors driving American consumers’ intentions to own or rent. The team used 2011 data from the Fannie Mae’s National Housing Survey to study the impact of both consumer demographics and attitudes on own-or-rent intentions, finding that “demographics by a large margin over attitudes drive current homeownership status and the intention to own or rent for homeowners who own their homes outright,” but that “housing attitudes (such as the belief that owning or renting makes more sense financially) and financial attitudes (such as the perceived ease/difficulty of getting a mortgage) are the key drivers of the intention to own or rent for renters and mortgageowners,” in relation to one’s next-move housing preference. The study found that “exposure to mortgage default, perceived home value appreciation/depreciation, and self-reported underwater status are not significant factors in the models in predicting individuals’ intentions to own a home for their next move,” suggesting that “Americans’ aspirations to own a home are strong even facing the dramatic challenges in the housing market over the past few years.”

In an August Viewpoint, Pimco’s Joshua Anderson names REO-to-Rental as an attractive investment strategy in the current environment. He says that the FHFA pilot program, if rolled out beyond the pilot, “would be positive for the housing market, as it would allow distressed properties to transact smoothly from the shadow inventory to large-scale investors without increasing the visible supply of properties and affecting house price indexes. REO buy-to-rent offers positive carry in the form of high rental yields, and potential (albeit difficult to achieve) structural leverage through cash-flow-structuring arrangements. Any further recovery in house prices contributes directly to the upside, while holding a real asset potentially offers a hedge against inflation, and the ability to adjust rents annually can help offset additional risk.” Anderson cautions investors about the “operational complexity and illiquidity of a single-family rental portfolio. Managing a nationally diversified portfolio of rental properties presents unique challenges of surveillance and scaling, and procedures for maintenance and leasing must be designed to help protect earnings. “

FitchRatings, in a report on REO-to-rental securitizations, cites two identifiers that will play an important role in determining whether the single-family rental market securitization product will be successful: the local employment base and desirability of the neighborhood. Fitch notes that converting single-family real estate owned inventory into rental properties and securitizing the cash-flow streams has drawn strong interest among investors, lenders and government agencies, particularly because the private label residential mortgage-backed securities market is stalled and the inventory of foreclosed homes and distressed borrowers is elevated. “The SFR product may provide an alternative investment opportunity to non-agency buyers while offering families displaced by foreclosure a comparable alternative,” says Suzanne Mistretta, senior director at Fitch Ratings, cautioning that “the lack of historical data and ambitious growth strategies by regional operators will make high investment grade ratings on these transactions difficult to attain.”

Harvard University’s Joint Center for Housing Studies, in collaboration with Fannie Mae’s Economic & Strategic Research Group, publishes a research paper that analyzes whether recent housing market distress has resulted in any “measurable impact on Americans’ views of owning versus renting.” The paper “finds little evidence to suggest that individuals’ preferences for owning versus renting a home have been fundamentally altered by their exposure to house price declines and loan delinquency rates, or by knowing others in their neighborhood who have defaulted on their mortgages.” These conclusions are similar to those in Fannie Mae’s August 2012 Own-Rent Analysis (see 2012-08-02 above), published by the ESR Group.

California Association of Realtors issues press release criticizing the FHFA for what CAR claims is the “secretive manner” in which the REO bulk sales pilot program is being conducted. Upset with FHFA’s decision to not immediately release details on the winning bid, CAR says it is filing a request through the Freedom of Information Act. CAR also reports that Fannie Mae created an LLC in California, called SFR 2012-1 US West LLC, in July, allegedly to receive the foreclosed properties in the winning bid from Fannie Mae.

Moody’s Investors Service issues report outlining potential risks involved in planned new securitizations backed by cashflows on REO-to-rental properties. Moody’s says that the main risks involved in assigning a credit rating to such a deal are the operator/manager of the properties not being able to perform its duties, and the potential variability of cashflow from the rental and ultimate sale of the properties. Because the operator will be responsible for all the aspects of renting, maintaining and ultimately selling the underlying assets in the securitized pool, Moody’s said, the transaction will also likely benefit if the operator is the sponsor and retains a significant economic interest in the transaction, because this arrangement aligns its economic interests with those of investors. Moody’s said that before assigning a rating, it would need to know detailed information about the operator, and would need to conduct a review of the operator’s performance, its experience and its ability to perform its role in the transaction, which includes determining tenant default rates and re-leasing periods

Reuters reports that at least seven investment-bank lenders are getting set to roll out the first round of balancesheet term financing to a handful of private equity and real estate firms looking to buy foreclosed US single-family homes and convert them to rentals. The banks, including Deutsche Bank, Barclays, Citigroup and Wells Fargo, will hold the loans on-balance sheet and by year-end are likely to refinance them with unrated securitizations backed by the rental cashflows, sources told Reuters. Once completed, the unrated transactions reportedly will be presented to the rating agencies early next year as concrete proposals. Agency analysts will be able to vet them to determine proper credit enhancement for eventual rated asset-backed securities (ABS) transactions, which industry experts predict will appear in about six to 12 months, Reuters says.

BIG DATA: DYNAMIC FACTS AND FIGURES, LIKE THE WORLD OF BIG DATA ITSELF. compiled from static findings reported by Chassis Plans, McKinsey & Company, IDC, SAP, Symantec, Experton Group, Wired, DataSift HIstorics, Wikibon, SmartData Collective, Emerson Network Power, ZDNet, InsightsSquared

What does “Big Data” mean? Big Data is all around us, buried in the bits and bytes that are being created, stored and saved daily by Facebook, Google+, Flickr, YouTube and other online social media disservices; in email, telephone calls and sensors that record earthquakes, gather climate information, note your blood pressure and monitor oil drilling platforms around the world (and whether your car has enough oil); by cameras that survey road traffic to the beach, activities at your neighbor’s swimming pool, who’s at the front door of your office, what’s happening in your fish tank, and what Toni’s dog is up to; and in transaction records of online purchases; and GPS signals to track your iPhone, iPad, iMac and child. It also refers to data sets. Sets that we’ve been aware of and compiling for years and years. But advancements in technology have made it much easier for us to save and store data, hence the rise of several different schools of thought spanning a variety of dimensions on how to perceive of and manage Big Data: The 3 Vs Volume Velocity Variety The 3 Ss Sources Size Speed Structure CRUD data = Create Read Update and Delete CRAP data = Create Replicate Append Process Ultimately, we’re talking about coming to terms with actually analyzing the data that we’ve ignored up to a few years ago because of technological limitations. Analysis of the data is the biggest puzzle; does the data we’ve collected include deep, rich sets of statistics that go beyond telling us how much Family X owes on their home, how many children they have, and how many cars they own. Or does it include data that incorporate the fact that Family X is happier in the Spring when their children are out of school and the only project they tend to focus on is buying a new home in a neighboring school district. The key is that volumes of data are being collected from a variety of different sources at such speed, that we’re not quite equipped with the appropriate number-crunching algorithms to help make logical sense of the data. So much for Big Data.

Now, for the facts and figures: •

•

We can expect a 40-60 percent projected annual growth in the volume of data generated, while media intensive sectors, including financial services, will see year on year data growth rates of over 120 percent.
