To Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac’s Fate?
‘Scapegoats’ Of The 2007-08 Financial Crisis Still Hold The Key To Affordable Mortgages, Author/Wealth Advisor Says
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have long been seen as the backbone of the U.S. mortgage market. They are federally backed home mortgage companies, known as government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) created by the U.S. Congress.
But they were blamed by many critics for the mortgage meltdown and subsequent financial crisis of 2008. Now, over a decade after a takeover by the U.S. Treasury and being placed into conservatorship, the GSEs are still a vital component of America’s access to housing. Their future, though, is uncertain, even as Fannie Mae executives discuss a way out of conservatorship.
The next chapters of the Fannie and Freddie story are crucial because their future could impact yours, says Tim Pagliara (www.capwealthgroup.com), ForbesBooks author of Another Big Lie: How The Government Stole Billions From The American Dream Of Home Ownership. And Got Caught!
“First, the cost of your mortgage could be going up,” Pagliara says. “Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are the reason you can get a 30-year, fixed-interest mortgage anywhere in the United States. They are the bedrock of the American middle class, the strongest engines of economic equality this country has ever invented.
“But this isn’t just a story about what happened a decade ago; it’s about what’s going to happen over the next few years in regards to being able to secure mortgages. Fannie and Freddie’s fate will determine whether those doors remain open to you and your loved ones. Now this has become a war over the future of home ownership in the United States.”
