Freddie Mac reports $2.4 billion in comprehensive income in Q2


Mortgage-backed securities giant Freddie Mac posted a comprehensive income of $2.4 billion in the second quarter of 2018, up from the $2.2 billion the government-sponsored, publicly traded company posted in the first quarter of 2018 and $2 billion it posted in the second quarter of 2017.

“Freddie Mac’s transformation continued in the second quarter, with good business results and similarly good financial performance,” said Freddie Mac CEO Donald Layton in a prepared statement. “In business operations, our guarantee book grew significantly, credit quality was high, and we are generating a consistent stream of new innovations for our customers.”

Freddie Mac guaranteed $84 billion in new single-family loan originations – with purchase volume up 29 percent year-over-year – and $16 billion in new multi-family loan originations, up 13 percent year-over-year, according to the release.

Single-family delinquency rates dropped to 0.82 percent – the lowest level since early 2008 — and multi-family delinquency rates remained at historic lows near zero or 0.01 percent, according to the release.

Part of the Freddie Mac’s strong revenue numbers were driven by a $334 million pre-tax litigation judgement in favor of the company, according to the release.

The Ultimate Guide To Family Law

Introduction The government has always had a fascination with families and the contract of marriage. State legislatures have passed many laws regulating the requirements for getting married and for obtaining a divorce. In addition, today’s laws also affect couples who live together outside of marriage. It is hard to give simple answers to many of the legal questions that a person may have about marriage, parenthood, separation, or divorce because the laws change and vary from one state to another. In addition, judges in different states with identical laws may decide cases with similar facts in different ways. This article describes the laws and court rulings common to most states. If you have other questions, please contact a lawyer in your state. You may also wish to contact a specialist. Many lawyers (particularly in urban areas) work only on family law or make it a large part of their general practice. Lawyers specializing in family law also may refer to themselves as specialist...

Amazon HQ2 talks reportedly narrow to Crystal City, Dallas and NYC

Amazon is reportedly getting close to finalizing the location of its  $5 billion, 50,000-job  second headquarters following a nationwide reverse-contest of sorts, wherein the tech company accepted bids and presentations from different city governments on why they should be the one to land Amazon HQ2. And now it appears that three locations are currently in the lead: Virginia’s Crystal City, Dallas and New York City. After speaking to people familiar with Amazon’s plans, The Wall Street Journal reported  this weekend that the search for the second headquarters has narrowed from the 20 cities originally shortlisted as potential locations. Discussions around Denver, Toronto, Atlanta, Nashville, Tenn., and Raleigh, N.C. have cooled somewhat while Amazon’s team has been having more talks with representatives of the other three cities. Amazon’s impact on home affordability has been a major consideration, as the tech giant’s presence in Seattle has both created nume...

How To Flag Your Hotel In The Age Of Brand Proliferation

No doubt about it, we’re in the age of hotel brand proliferation. New brands seemingly sprout almost weekly. Counting the precise or official number of hotel brands is difficult. By my conservative estimate, nearly 100 new flags with at least eight properties have been launched since 2008, conceivably pushing the total number of brands to more than 700. This dizzying array of choices doesn’t the make the decision about which flag to fly on a property any easier for hotel developers. How do you decide when there are so many brands to choose from? Marriott , for example, has 30-plus brands under its umbrella spanning all chain scale and star levels of the hospitality industry. A successful hotel project begins with the selection of the right brand for your marketplace, physical site and price point. Although the macro dynamics of the lodging business are strong, a microanalysis of the destination in which you want to build will ultimately dictates your brand choice. Here’s a road ma...
