The legal wheels continue to turn in the personal efforts of CFPB Deputy Director Leandra English to overturn President Trump’s appointment of Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney to serve simultaneously as acting director of the bureau. More activity is slated this week before Judge Timothy Kelly, whom Trump appointed to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia Circuit earlier this year. Additional legal briefs are due and a hearing has been scheduled. Despite losing in her bid for a temporary restraining order, English has since filed for a preliminary injunction to prevent defendants Trump and Mulvaney from “appointing, causing the appointment of, or recognizing the appointment of an acting director of the Consumer Financial Protection ...

Tax-Exempt Loans. This week, Freddie Mac announced the external offering of two multifamily pass-through securities backed by tax-exempt loans (TEL Multi PCs). The underlying tax-exempt loans are made by state or local housing agencies and secured by affordable rental housing. It is the first time TEL Multi PCs have been offered by Freddie Mac. They are designed to help source the lowest cost of capital to deliver even more efficient financing for affordable housing through the company’s Tax-Exempt Loan program. The company announced the pricing of two separate single-class securities each backed by one fixed-rate, multifamily tax-exempt loan. Both are...
Freddie Mac decided to dip its toes into the single- family rental market with a $161 million transaction with CoreVest Finance. The securities are backed by affordable single-family rental properties targeting low-income and working families. The SR01 certificates include 59 loans originated primarily by CoreVest. Freddie has been exploring the growing SFR market for the better part of the year. While Fannie Mae received some backlash for its one large $1 billion transaction earlier this year with Invitation Homes, Freddie’s focus was on the affordable housing market. Most of the 2,355 properties included in this transaction (94 percent) are affordable to families earning less than 100 percent of the area median income.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac sold more than 82,359 nonperforming loans through June 30, 2017, according to the Federal Housing Finance Agency’s fourth report highlighting nonperforming loan sales and borrower outcomes. And close to half the NPLs sold had been resolved. That number is up from the FHFA’s last report, in which 72,502 NPLs had been sold through December 2016. This represents about 10,000 in NPLs sold during the first six months of the year. The latest report shows that NPL sales through June represented a total unpaid principal balance of $16 billion, and had an average current loan-to-value ratio of 97 percent. The average delinquency of pools sold was 3.3 years.
