Hi jmf,
Lending copious amounts of money to deadbeats is a great business to be in. ;-)
I think it would be great if you covered on your site just what exactly qualifies as a conforming loan for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. It seems like just about anything can be a conforming loan. Fannie will even purchase 40 year fixed-rate mortgages and 40-year hybrid adjustable rate mortgages (ARMS) with initial fixed periods of three, five, seven, or ten years. I've also heard that Fannie and Freddie do "fast forward documentation" which is a waiver of employment and income verification.
Here's what $460,115,000 of Merrill Lynch toxic waste looks like:
As of the Cut-off Date, the assets of the Trust Fund consisted of two
groups ("Group I" and "Group II" respectively, and each, a "Loan Group") of 814
conventional, adjustable rate mortgage loans (the "Mortgage Loans") secured by
first liens on one- to four-family residential properties, including townhouses,
condominiums and co-op loans (each, a "Mortgaged Property"), all of which have
original terms to maturity of 30 years or less, having an aggregate Stated
Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date of approximately $463,360,704 (the
"Aggregate Cut-off Date Balance"). Approximately 82.21% of the Mortgage Loans
provide for payment of interest at the related Mortgage Rate, but no payment of
principal, for a period of seven or ten years following the origination of the
related Mortgage Loan. Following the seven or ten-year interest-only period, the
Scheduled Payment with respect to each such Mortgage Loan will be increased to
an amount sufficient to amortize the principal balance of such Mortgage Loan
over its remaining term, and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Rate.
Approximately 48.86% of the Mortgage Loans were originated as stated income
loans.

Most of the loans are tied to the LIBOR.

Moin,
WOW!
Toxic waste indeed!!!!!
It's toxic waste, but if you put your ear to it, you can hear the ocean... or is that sound a faint ticking that's getting louder and louder?
You would have thought that whoever bought that $460 million note would have looked at the prospectus.
Moin,

Looks like not everybody is so relaxed.....
