BACKGROUND
In September 2002, EuroCatalyst launched the most revolutionary conference ever held in the global housing finance industry, bringing together all of the leaders in all European mortgage markets in one place, at one time, for the first time, to discuss the evolution of housing finance in the wider context of globalization. Held for the first time in Madrid, Spain, the event coincided with the launch of the euro banknote that year, an unprecedented move in which 12 nations wed their sovereign destiny to the European Central Bank. Driven by the forces of globalization and expectations of challenging the domination of the U.S. dollar in the global economy, in 2002 the EU would embark upon one of the greatest social experiments in history.
“This is the perfect setting for grasping the big picture. Year upon year I am amazed by both the content and the collection of such fascinating speakers and participants. You never know who you’re going to meet; your biggest deal may be sitting right next to you. ... I am a huge fan” – Jean-Louis Bravard, former head of global financial services, EDS
Achieving the intended goal of the euro required, among other inordinate tasks, creating a “Single Market” for financial services across EU countries, which, in turn, required standardizing the inherently national mortgage markets of EU member countries.
and facilitate a peer-to-peer dialogue comparing players, products, processes and practices across European mortgage markets. The theme of the event in the first year, “Will European Mortgage Markets Survive Globalization?” directly questioned the sustainability of the EU and the crucial role of and systemic risk posed by commoditized mortgage markets and their potential to trigger a global crisis.
The purpose of the event was to bring together the most important parties in European housing finance in one place at one time
Today, 10 years later, governments and financial markets around the world are rocked by imminent
sovereign default and the threat of contagion in Europe. With Greece crippled, attention has now turned to Spain, the EU’s third largest market, and Italy, the fourth largest, in an increasingly deepening global crisis. While it is impossible to predict the eventual outcome, clearly we have reached a pivotal moment in history in which we are all conducting grand social experiments, with no precedents to follow.

uroCatalyst 2002 was a new kind of conference, designed to raise the caliber of research and debate on housing finance. We made it invitation-only, bringing together an interesting combination of influential individuals that span the highest levels of global industry oversight, from issuers and investors, to leaders from all sectors of primary and secondary mortgage markets. We made it interactive, giving the audience greater opportunities to connect with the stage. And we made it intellectually challenging, asking experts to debate topics in an entirely different context.
The context is globalization.
T
oday, the forces of globalization have created a world increasingly beyond our control and understanding. Across every sector of society, decision-makers struggle with intensifying complexities, magnifying risks and accelerating changes, often leading to actions that result in unintended consequences. We now live in a
6
world in which our destinies are inextricably wed. If one major part of the system fails, the entire system is at risk.

e have shifted from the freedom of independence to the constraints of interdependence.

AN EVENT WITH A MESSAGE THAT MATTERS Our theme this year, “The Entanglement”, describes what we believe is the latest stage of globalization, and the current state of the world in which our destinies are tied to the success or failure of others. Interdependence implies responsibility, and requires the willingness to compromise, cooperate and collaborate with others. What does this look like in the housing finance industry? We’re about to find out…

Setting the context for this year’s event, this session explores “The Entanglement,” our description of the latest stage of globalization that describes a world so interconnected that our personal, professional, local and global destinies are inextricably wed to the success and failure of others. This session addresses the profound issues facing us today: the changing role of government; the challenges of global regulation; the implications of increasing systemic risk; the consequences of inequality; the future of capitalism, democracy and “free markets”; the importance of the European sovereign crisis, and how all of these combined factors are changing the world as we know it faster than we can comprehend.

PAUL MILLER JOSH ROSNER
In 2002, EuroCatalyst established this conference to discuss the impact of globalization on the housing finance industry, and explore how its unrelenting and accelerating forces would affect each stage of the mortgage lifecycle. Held for the first time in Madrid, Spain, the event coincided with the launch of the euro banknote, an unprecedented move in which 12 nations wed their sovereign destiny to the European Central Bank and embarked upon one of the greatest social experiments in history. The theme of that first conference was, “Will European Mortgage Markets Survive Globalization?”, which directly questioned the sustainability of the euro. The event program warned about the systemic risk posed by commoditized mortgage markets and their potential to trigger a global economic crisis if the trajectory of the global markets continued unabated.

This session transitions to the current state of the U.S. economy and housing market, and features leading industry analysts and economists addressing current mortgage and real estate performance, economic trends, the impact of QE3 and the question everyone is asking: Have we reached the bottom yet? Finally, in light of the previous two sessions about the systemic vulnerabilities of the U.S. economy to global economic instability, we also discuss the impact that the European crisis might have on U.S. housing market recovery.
CHRIS FLANAGAN
In this market, any positive news goes a long way, as evidenced by recent analyst statements, and economic trends and housing data reports heralding signs of a stabilizing market. Indeed, the data does indicate that the worst of the housing crisis may be behind us: Home prices appear to be stabilizing, loan modifications are improving borrower performance, mortgage delinquencies are declining and new construction is gradually recovering. However, to what extent is the interpretation of the data affected by confirmation bias?

THE FUTURE WE’RE FUNDING
Mortgage origination and products, private label securities and eminent domain Continuing our discussion on the state of the U.S. housing market, this session takes a hard look at the future we’re funding from the perspective of the primary market and Non-Agency RMBS. In particular, we discuss current mortgage origination, distribution, products, and impediments to the growth of a robust primary market including the implications of the Qualified Mortgage (QM) Rule, Qualified Residential Mortgage (QRM) Rule, High Cost Mortgage rules (HOEPA), and “disparate impact”; the concentration of mortgage origination; the fate of correspondent lending, and new players coming in to fill the void. In secondary markets, Amherst recently issued a report stating that despite the outperformance of private-label MBS over agency-backed securities, defaults and pay downs have reduced the total amount of outstanding mortgages financed by private securities to below $1 trillion for the first time since 2003. In the context of the current state and future of private-label securitization, we also discuss the continuing diminishment of investor rights, the latest salvo being the highly controversial issue of eminent domain.

GOVERNMENT AGENCIES AND THE FUTURE OF FUNDING
Ginnie Mae, the FHFA strategic plan and implications for the agency and non-agency markets Since the onset of the housing crisis in 2007, U.S. government entities have increased their funding of mortgage loans by $1.1 trillion, and currently provide more than 90% of mortgage funding in the market. In February of this year the FHFA set out a strategic, multi-year plan outlining three goals for the next phase of conservatorships of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. They include the gradual reduction of the GSE’s presence in the marketplace, building a new securitization infrastructure for the secondary mortgage market; and maintaining foreclosure prevention activity and credit availability for new and refinanced mortgages. This session provides further details on the creation of a common securitization platform to replace the current GSE systems, and the FHFA’s proposed model pooling and servicing agreement, with commentary and discussion among the leading industry constituents on the implications of FHFA’s strategy for the agency and non-agency markets. In 2011, Ginnie Mae surpassed Freddie Mac in mortgage bond issuance to become the second largest funder of U.S. mortgages. Commensurate with its increasing and systemic role, we also discuss important changes to Ginnie Mae’s strategy. Finally, we examine the latest initiatives to incent private capital back into the market in the context of two paradigms: is private capital best incented by regulation that protects investors from market abuses, or can interests be aligned to render regulation obsolete?

THE BEST TRADE
What is the best investment in housing finance today? The negative sentiment and overall uncertainty of potential outcomes in the market have led to unusually high risk premiums over the past five years. While the market remains fragile and vulnerable to sudden shocks, recent indications of market stabilization and the ability to better quantify risk have positioned housing-related assets to outperform current pricing assumptions and generate higher risk-weighted returns. In this session, we debate the most compelling sectors and business models poised to benefit from market recovery, and which sector will generate the highest returns featuring the leading innovators and entrepreneurs driving those sectors. Our choices include NonAgency RMBS; de novo origination; mortgage insurance, MSRs and REO-toRental. Not only will the panel contend with each other, the audience plays an active role in challenging the vulnerabilities or supporting the assumptions of each opportunity. At the end of the debate, the audience will vote on their opinion of which investment looks the most favorable. Next year, we will report on the progress of each chosen opportunity and their returns over the year.

This session provides an inside view on current regulation and plans for new regulation and its implementation; the potential disconnect between conflicting regulation and how those conflicts will be resolved over time; who the interagency parties are to the process; how collaborative the process has been, and how regulation will be formed in the future.
MIKE NIXON
Normally, it is the regulators who cannot keep up with the pace of change in the financial market. As sweeping regulation comes into effect in the mortgage market, it is the lenders and servicers struggling to keep up with the pace of compliance and regulatory change. Basel III, the Dodd-Frank Act, the AG Settlement, and compliance with the CFPB’s proposed servicing rules are among the greatest challenges to market players thus far. However, it is the unknown regulation that renders market players hemophiliacs in a world of very sharp objects.

Information has long been considered the new currency of the digital world but has thus far not been leveraged to its fullest extent, particularly in the mortgage industry. The combination of borrower information accumulated from the mortgage application and loan performance data is the most rich data set in commerce today. As such, it is the servicers who ultimately control the currency that drives the entire mortgage industry. For the past ten years, we have proposed that the ultimate role of a servicer is to acquire, manage, distribute and protect information. Rather than act as “the originator’s back office,” servicers are actually the homeowner and investor’s front office, and need to better manage and leverage information to fulfill that role – and potential. This session is a major departure from traditional servicing discussions, providing a new vision for servicing in the future by transcending the legacy factory approach to servicing as characterized in the film, “Modern Times”, to an interconnected network of information of “The Matrix”. Okay, perhaps not that far, but certainly the direction to move in. If servicers begin to treat information as currency, mortgage data will likely emerge as a new asset class. This session attempts to gauge how close some servicers are to reaching that goal.

RENTING THE FUTURE
N
ow in the sixth year of the crisis, the U.S. housing market is trapped in a vicious cycle due to an unprecedented supply of distressed housing inventory and legacy REO properties. The “shadow inventory,” aptly named due to the opaque nature of its size and geographic distribution, is estimated to be anywhere between 2 million and 9.5 million single family homes, figures which vary greatly depending on the analyst and variables used in their calculations. Recently, regulators have launched pilot programs signaling the move toward the bulk disposition of government-owned distressed inventory to non-profits and private investors contingent upon their use as rental properties. Rather than view housing stock as collateral backing RMBS holdings, investors now have the opportunity to view the housing stock as an opportunity itself, deploying a variety of buy, hold and lease strategies with as many properties as they can acquire. In a rare alignment of private sector incentives and public sector interests, over $4 billion in capital has been raised over the past 5 months to pursue this emerging sector.
H T
owever, it’s a very long road to get there, as the nascent single family rental sector has only begun to develop. As many analysts have already warned, investor returns will be driven by operating efficiencies, as well as accurate valuations and acquisition costs.
he growth of the single family rental sector also signals a major shift in the mindset of consumers and policymakers with regard to homeownership and U.S. housing policy. As the housing market stabilizes, it will reflect a new reality in which many consumers have delayed or minimized their dreams of homeownership. Where renting was once a necessity, increasingly, renting is now a choice as residents seek to retain financial liquidity, gain greater mobility and keep options open for a very uncertain economic future.

RENTING THE FUTURE?
The evolution of single-family rental In an industry short on win/win solutions, REO-to-Rental has emerged as one of the greatest opportunities to bring private capital back into the market and stabilize communities by addressing the unprecedented supply of distressed loans, distressed housing inventory and legacy REO properties. In a rare alignment of private and public sector interests, more than $6 billion in capital has been raised over the past 9 months from the private and non-profit sector to deploy a variety of strategies in single family rental. Recently, regulators have launched pilot programs signaling the move toward the bulk disposition of government-owned distressed Notes and distressed housing inventory to non-profits and private investors contingent upon their use as rental properties. As an emerging sector, the issues, which have important socio-economic and political implications, are complex and delicate. Prior to the crisis, almost 13 million homes were rental properties owned by local, “Mom and Pop” landlords. The emergence of REO-to-Rental will inevitably “corporatize” singlefamily rental in the U.S., introducing professional standards, regional and national franchises and a natural institutionalization of a new asset class. In this opening session, we explore the bigger picture of the opportunities, challenges and complexities of how the sector will develop.

Sizing the single-family rental inventory Since 2008 the supply of homes for sale has declined significantly due to several years of unusually slow construction, the gradual processing of foreclosures and stalled turnover from homeowners trapped by negative equity. These combined factors indicate that we may have reached the bottom of the market. This assumption has fueled a sense of urgency among investors to acquire a critical mass of properties large enough to achieve economies of scale to run their businesses while acquisition prices are at their lowest. However, the current size of supply, the primary disposition strategies for those holding the notes, and what volume may be coming down the pipeline remains unknown. The “shadow inventory” is estimated to be anywhere between 2 million to 9.5 million single family homes - figures which vary greatly depending on the analyst and variables used in their calculations. At the same time, servicers are maximizing returns on distressed collateral prior to foreclosure through short sales while others, as discussed in the previous session, are selling distressed loans. This session attempts to size the opportunity for single family rental by discussing the size of the shadow inventory, analyzing where the supply of additional properties will come from in the near future, and prospects for the increase in the sale of non-performing loans to execute deeds-in-lieu of foreclosure

RENTING THE FUTURE | ACROSS THE SPECTRUM
Investment strategies for Single-Family Rental As mentioned in the opening session, REO-to-rental has attracted more than $6.5 billion in capital from a variety of funding sources from REITs to private wealth. As the best vehicle for remediating the distressed housing inventory, investors recognize that most borrowers who default on their mortgage will become renters, thereby balancing distressed housing supply with rental demand. Overall, these investors tend to be divided into two camps: Rather than view housing stock as collateral backing RMBS holdings, some investors now view housing stock, which is down around 34% of its peak value, as an opportunity itself in a directional play on house prices. Others believe that the greater returns lie in adding economic value back into the property and generating rental revenue. Across the spectrum, investors are deploying a variety of buy, hold and lease strategies. However, they currently struggle to access a critical mass of properties in order to build a viable business, as evidenced by the fact that less than $2 billion in raised capital has actually been deployed to date. This session compares and contrasts the current spectrum of investor strategies and the challenges they face as pioneers in this emerging sector, particularly in acquiring rental properties, managing scattered site rental and optimizing liquidation options.

RENTING, THE FUTURE
Transitioning into a Rentership Society Does REO-to-Rental signal a major shift in the mindset of consumers and policy makers with regard to homeownership and U.S. housing policy? This session is based on the presumption that if and when the market stabilizes, it will reflect a new reality in which many consumers have delayed or minimized their dreams of homeownership, or have made a deliberate choice to retain their financial liquidity, gain greater mobility and keep options open for a very uncertain economic future. We’ll discuss how globalization is changing cultural attitudes toward ownership, and how the recognition of the costs and burdens of ownership, the drive toward sustainability, and the Echo-boomer generation show preference for access over ownership, and debate whether or not the U.S. is heading toward a “Rentership Society” in the future.

‘The Hills are Alive’ This event is intended to be much more than education and networking, it’s intended to be an experience. We want to move you, to evoke and inspire feelings, and to give you something to think about at the start and conclusion of each session. Music is one of the greatest forms of communication in the world. One of our favorite quotes about music was said by Duke Ellington. “Playing bop is like playing Scrabble with all of the vowels missing.” This can, to a certain extent, describe the mortgage industry experience. Particularly for those in servicing. Music of all genres has always been a signature of our events as we transition between sessions. We are frequently asked what led us to do this in the first place, and more often, what we really meant in using a particular song. When we launched the EuroCatalyst series in 2002, we used music to provide a sense of familiarity to delegates who were from different countries and spoke different languages, and to fill the awkward silence during stage changeovers. More importantly, in the early days (at least until 2005), Toni was too shy (!) to host the sessions herself. While she would write the program each year, a process that included “story boarding” each session and preparing the presentations, she always chose others to host. Thus, the music became her editorial “stamp” on each session; interpretation of our selections were left to the hosts and panels. The hallmark song of the event is the opening theme we’ve used since 2002, “Burning Down the House” by the Talking Heads. It is, after all, a conference. With a lot of talking heads. The song is on the album, Speaking in Tongues, and the European event featured a plethora of languages. And then there are the David Byrne lyrics. They were reportedly meant to be nonsensical, but somehow made perfect sense for an event intended to create a global dialogue about the trajectory of such an economically crucial industry at a time when the party, so to speak, was just getting started. Take a look at the lyrics and perhaps you will understand how and why we use it. Over the years, here are some of our favorite selections: EuroCatalyst 2002: Madrid “What a Wonderful World” A close friend, Esther Dyson, opened our first event. Esther is perhaps the most famous futurist in the world, and is universally credited as the catalyst for bringing the global personal computing and internet community together. Fluent in Russian, in 2002, Esther became a cosmonaut. Today, along with Richard Branson, she is one of the pioneers of commercial space travel. When asked what song she wanted for her entrance, Esther chose “What a Wonderful World,” by Louis Armstrong. We found it ironic that one of the most brilliant and complex minds in the world today chose this particular song “for its simplicity.” “The Star Wars Theme.” For Judith Hardt, then head of the European Mortgage Federation, we played the “Star Wars Theme.” It took a year of extensive travel and in-person
convincing for Toni to get all members of each individual mortgage trade organization across Europe to support a single event driven by primarily a single individual, with a man’s name, who happened to be an American. It was the first time for all of them to collaborate to such an extent. Before the event, Judith’s prime concern was how “her members” (of the Federation) would react if the event’s subject matter was perceived as “too different, too controversial, too fun or too new”. Guilty on all counts, we introduced Judith with the music and scrolling text that provided an update of the battle that “the (European Mortgage) Federation” was fighting, which at that time, was primarily against each other. Look to session 1.7 this year for similar fun. “Staying Alive”. In 2002, large German banks were rife with troubled loans on their balance sheets – a fact that the entire market aspired to conceal. When our distinguished German panel took the stage for their national session, we played “Staying Alive” by the Bee Gees. Most people tend to alter their normal walk and strut to its great bass line, which is perfect for a stage entrance. But once the group reached the stage, a certain realization came over the panel that slowed their steps and caused concerned glances directed at Toni, who sat with an innocent “what?” look on her face. The panel kicked off with a very optimistic presentation by Louis Hagen, then head of what became the Verband deutscher Pfandbriefbanken, and now speaker of the board of Managing Directors at Münchener Hypothekenbank eG. The lyrics were certainly not missed by the next speaker, Klaus Friedrich Otto, editor of Immobilien and Zeitung. The first words out of his mouth were, “Don’t believe anything that you hear from a German trade organization, the song that just played says it all about ‘staying alive’ in Germany.” To the chagrin and obvious discomfort of the entire panel, he went on to discuss the truth about the serious problems plaguing the German market that no German institution would admit to or discuss publicly at that time. It was not until 2004 that the problems plaguing the German banking sector became the focus of German headlines. “This is Not America” (by Pat Metheny and David Bowie). Our traditional “Champagne Debate,” held at the end of the first day of the event each year, began in Madrid, and featured the debate “The U.S. vs. Europe” over the best products, processes and practices of the markets. The day ended up being much longer than anyone had ever anticipated. The positive response to each session up to that point made it difficult for us to actually end each session. When we opened the Champagne Debate with this song - at 6 pm (the scheduled “end” of the day), the audience erupted in cheers. We thought it was because the audience were cheering because the day was finally over. Once the session began it became clear that the cheering reflected the disdain that European mortgage leaders felt over the onslaught of American business models entering Europe and the unfairness of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac’s implicit government guarantee which competed with European covered bonds for the global investor base. It was in this session that German economist Achim Duebel coined the famous (and prophetic) observation, “The American GSEs
37
privatize the profit and nationalize the debt”. The “hour-long” session ended at around 8 pm. At 8:30 pm, we finally turned the lights off to get everyone out of the room EuroCatalyst 2003: Lisbon “Abracadabra” (by the Steve Miller Band), for the session, “How Much is Europe at Risk? Globalization, Housing Prices and European Mortgage Markets.” The song starts with a synchronized bass/guitar/keyboard rhythm that goes up and down the scale with opening lyrics that perfectly characterized predictions and reports about housing prices. “I heat up, I can’t cool down, you’ve got me spinning around and round. Round and round, and round we go, and where it stops nobody knows, abra abra cadabra, I wanna reach out and grab ya.” They sure did. “Born in the USA” (by Bruce Springsteen) and “I Get Along Without You Very Well” (by Frank Sinatra) for the Champagne Debate, “U.S. vs. Europe, Round Two.” Given the heated debate that ensued the previous year, that year we decided that each team approach the stage separately, to their own song. The Americans went first, bounding up to the stage to “Born in the USA.” The Europeans entered very slowly to the song, “I Get Along Without You Very Well.” It was a classic moment, and even the Americans had to laugh. In making the first toast of the session Tony Porter of PMI quipped, “Here’s to another great debate, and if I hear one more thing about how great the Danish mortgage model is I’m going to throw up . . .” EuroCatalyst 2004: Berlin “You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me” (by Dusty Springfield) for “The Servicing Sessions.” In 2002 and 2003, servicing was such an unpopular topic that pillows were thrown on stage at the session hosts. Yet, we persevered, warning participants that if they did not pay attention to servicing issues, they would one day be sorry . . . “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” (by The Tokens) for the session, “Consolidation Sweeps European Markets.” By 2004, the globalization of housing finance was in full force, with European banks in a cross-border acquisition mode and American firms entering Europe at an unprecedented pace. That year, European Finance Ministers began to contemplate the potential for systemic risk and the creation of banks that would be considered “Too Big To Fail,” creating a temporary lull in M&A activities, hence, “The Lion Sleeps Tonight.”
38
EuroCatalyst 2005: Rome “The Theme to Casino Royale” (by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass from the original 1967 film) for the session, “Diversifying Funding and Pricing Risk: The Third Annual Whole Loan Sales and Trade Exchange”. By 2005, size mattered for cross-border entrants, and the best way to increase size was the emergence of whole loan portfolio sales which were sweeping European countries. The loan sales were primarily driven by Wall Street investment banks, many of whom had created global vertical channels to satiate demand for U.S. subprime and non-conforming European RMBS. The original 1967 James Bond film is notorious for being a disorganized disaster. Film critic Roger Ebert had called it “possibly the most indulgent film ever made.” In 2005, we believed that the structured finance industry was seriously headed in the wrong direction and truly was “Casino Royale.” “You Don’t Own Me” (by Lesley Gore) for the session, “High Anxiety: Holding Our Breath Over Housing Prices.” In mid2005 The Economist was pointing out that the total value of residential property in developed economies had risen by more than $30 trillion in the previous five years to over $70 trillion - an increase equivalent to 100% of the combined
GDPs of those countries. “Not only does the current situation dwarf any previous house price booms”, they wrote, “it is the most massive capital markets bubble in history.” We played “You Don’t Own Me” as a reminder that while borrowers were building up equity due to inflated prices, they did not actually own those homes free and clear and were borrowing against a volatile asset inevitably poised to fall. Yet another tune that makes a reappearance this year. EuroCatalyst 2007: Madrid “Everybody Knows” (written by Leonard Cohen, performed by Rufus Wainwright) for the session, “The Shadow Banking System and financial dislocation of the new non-bank world.” The opening lyrics to this song said it all in September 2007, less than one month after the liquidity crisis began: Everybody knows the dice are loaded Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed Everybody knows the war is over Everybody knows the good guys lost Everybody knows the fight was fixed The poor stay poor and the rich get rich That how it goes And everybody knows We replayed the song in the early sessions at AmeriCatalyst 2011. EuroCatalyst 2009: Austin (AKA Distressed Servicing) In 2009, we fiercely debated using “Viva La Vida” by Coldplay as the theme of the entire event that year. The title literally means “Long Live Life.” As Toni said in her opening speech that year, “One of the original sponsors of this event dropped out because they feared that this event would be a flop and asked us to change the title from ‘Viva la Vida’ because they thought we were sending an inappropriate message. To us, our message was clear – yes, much of what is happening is unthinkable, but you have two choices in life; you can live dying, or you can die living, and we choose the latter. Therefore, ‘long live life!’ ” Instead, Toni provided the alternative theme, “Distressed Servicing” to point out the fact that “we are all distressed servicers now.” AmeriCatalyst 2010: Austin “The theme to Mission Impossible” for the session, “From Local to National: The Evolutionary Process of Stabilizing the Housing Market and Assisting Homeowners on a Mass Scale.” This session was about current government programs including HARP, HAMP, HAFA, HHF et al. The working title for this session was, “Trial and Error: Stabilizing the Housing Market,” but we were busted at the last minute and had to change the title. So we settled for playing “Mission Impossible” instead. We were one-upped by Faith Schwartz of HopeNow and Laurie Maggiano from the U.S. Treasury, who walked onstage with dark sunglasses on. AmeriCatalyst 2011: Convergence Amy Brandt and a few others who were forced to listen to track after track during the selection process (which usually takes several months over the summer) complained endlessly about how we “needed to play at least ONE song from this century!” Well, we finally did! “Raise your glass” by Pink, at the conclusion of the Champagne Debate, which, let’s face it, opened with a shameless display of ‘80s disco with “YMCA” (who will ever forget Ivy Zelman, Amy and the rest of the panelists dancing to the Village People hit?) For the soundtrack to our 10th anniversary, take a look at the next page. And sit back and enjoy!

RENTING, THE FUTURE? 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 scruntinize. Read On. Rather good material for those late-night trivia games.

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.”

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.

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-turnedrenters 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.

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 singlefamily 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.”

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.”

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.

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.”

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.”

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.”

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-to-rental 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.”

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.

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.

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.”

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.”

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.”

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.

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.

Zillow reports that 16 million homeowners were in negative equity in 2012 Q1, but adds that only 10 percent of those homeowners are more than 90 days delinquent. However, 15 percent of those in negative equity owe more than double what their home is worth, according to Zillow.

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 national nonprofit Enterprise Community Partners, in collaboration with Waypoint Homes, a property management startup, announces a new $20 milion foreclosure-to-rental strategy in Oakland, Calif., that will involve purchasing, renovating and renting up to 100 homes in two of the least affluent, inner-city neighborhoods in Oakland. The geographically focused project, designed to bring private capital to lowincome neighborhoods, was expected to begin in September with a first phase of 20 homes. Waypoint will select, renovate and manage the properties, and Enterprise will provide tenant financial education and workforce development to be associated with the remodel projects.

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 mortgage-owners,” 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. “
2012-08-07
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.”
2012-08-13
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 balance-sheet 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.

The structured sales transaction closed Sept. 6. The purchase price paid by Pacifica was $12.33 million for its interest, which resulted in an estimated transaction valuation to Fannie Mae of $78.1 million or 95.8% of a third-party valuation.

NOTE: AS IN PREVIOUS YEARS, NOT ALL ATTENDEES WERE ABLE TO SEND BIOS AND PHOTOS TO US BEFORE THE DEADLINE. SOME ARE MISSING PHOTOS (LIKE ME), WHILE OTHERS, WELL, THEY WERE MISSING BIOS. I HAD TO SCRAP THOSE. SORRY. IN THE PAST, I’VE USED VARIOUS SYMBOLS (FLOWERS OR SNAPS OF GREGORY PECK/AUDREY HEPBURN) FOR THE FACELESS BIOS, BUT THIS YEAR, I’VE CHOSEN NOT TO. AND GREG BOESTER IS PROBABLY GOING TO KILL ME FOR USING A PHOTO HE HATES. A FEW OBSERVATIONS: WE HAVE AN ABUNDANCE OF “TAYLORS” THIS YEAR, A SURPLUS OF S.M.U. AND WHARTON GRADUATES, NOT AS MANY LAW DEGREE HOLDERS AS IN PAST YEARS (THOUGH MORE M.B.A. HOLDERS), AND A SURGE IN THE NUMBER OF FEMALE DELEGATES. WE ALSO HAVE SEVERAL FORMER PROFESSIONAL AND OLYMPIC ATHLETES. AND MUSICIANS. AND THREE CANADIANS. AND SOMEONE FORMERLY EMPLOYED BY THE CIA . FINALLY, IT’S GREAT TO SEE THE FACES OF SO MANY ALUMNI AS WELL AS THE SMILES OF SO MANY NEW PEOPLE. WE WELCOME YOU ALL. AND I AM NOT A STALKER.
