As loans were brought out of Ginnie Mae pools and into bank portfolios, the share of portfolio loans and private-label securities in forbearance increased to 10.93%.“These buyouts enable servicers to stop advancing principal and interest payments, and to work with borrowers in the hope that they can begin paying again before they are re-securitized into Ginnie Mae pools,” said Mike Fratantoni, MBA’s senior vice president and chief economist.Following the main story, HousingWire covers data from Redfin that indicates more than half of home offers were in a bidding war in June and an announcement from Apple that it will spend $400 million this year to support affordable housing in California.The Daily Download examines the most compelling articles reported from the HousingWire newsroom.
