Housing Price Conundrum (part 3)
So just a bit of review.
What happened from 2000 to 2004?
Actually I should really say, from 2000 to 2006, because that really was when the housing bubble happened.
Well financing got easier. Or essentially they lowered their standards.
And it got progressively easier and easier and easier, every year we went.
So then that allowed more people to bid on homes.
So it increased the demand artificially in certain ways.
Because we saw from that New York Times article that people's incomes weren't increasing, and the population wasn't increasing anywhere near as fast to soak up the supply.
So all it did is allow people who were renting before, and who couldn't save the money for the down payment, now to participate.
So now you had more people bidding for the same house, to bid up houses.
But that led to the obvious question.
Why did financing get easier and easier?
So let's go back to the good old days, like the early '90s.
Or actually, let's go even before that.
Let's go to the classic, what happens to get a housing loan?
Well traditionally, if I want to get a loan I would go to my bank.
And that loan officer at the bank, he's going to be giving the bank's money for your house, right?
He gives you money. And you're going to pay him interest. Right?
This is me. And so that loan officer at the bank, he really cares that they're not going to lose money on the transaction.
If he's going to give you $1 million, he wants to make sure that no matter what happens, if you lose your job, if you get arrested, if you skip town, that he's still going to be able to get his $1 million back.
And if you go back to our equity and balance sheet presentations, that's why, back in the day, they made sure that you put 20%, 25% down payment on your house, that you had a good credit rating, that you had a good steady income.
Because that banker, that loan officer, was going to be in trouble.
And his bonus was based on how good the loans he gave held up.
So that was the traditional model.
What happened - started to happen the mid-90s, especially in California, and then nationwide in about 2001, 2002 - is you had what we call a securitization of the mortgage market.
And this, in all fairness, this actually happened a while before, with things like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
And I'll do a completely separate video on those.
But Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac essentially had the same standards.
They had the standards of, we call them, conforming loans.
I think the numbers - you have to have 20% down.
You have to have a certain credit score, certain steady income.
So Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were these entities that might buy the loan from your local banker.
But their standards were just as high as the local banker's.
And they were based - I think they were actually, they had oversight by Congress.
So they weren't giving away loans for free.
But I'll do a whole other presentation on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
What you had happen in the late '90s, and especially in the early part of this decade, is you had a whole industry outside of the government-sponsored entities.
The government-sponsored entities are Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
And this is essentially - instead of you going to your local bank for a loan - this is me again - I would go to my local mortgage broker.
Countrywide is the most famous of them.
I think they're CFC. That's their stock ticker.
They're not bankrupt yet. So I would go to Countrywide.
And essentially I would get $1 million from them, a home loan.
I would get $1 million from them.
And I'd agree to pay interest to Countrywide.
But then Countrywide would do this like, a million times.
So times a million, right? They'll give home loans to a million people, put them all together.
And then they'll sell the loans.
They'll sell the loans to like, let's say, Bear Stearns.
So that's an investment bank. Let's call it Bear Stearns.
Hope none of these people sue me.
I guess they have bigger troubles now, then wondering about my YouTube videos.
They sell it to Bear Stearns.
And then Bear Stearns will package a bunch of these mortgages together, essentially IOU's from people.
And then they would sell those to investors. Right?
So essentially, instead of Countrywide being responsible for my loan, my payments now go to these investors.
And you could watch the - that says investors.
I know my penmanship is horrible.
But you should watch the videos on mortgage-backed securities and collateralized debt obligations, if you want to get a better understanding of exactly how the money flows go.
But the bottom line is, because of this process, what's happening?
Countrywide is just being a transactional.
They're just doing the paperwork for my loan.
They're temporarily holding the loan. And they're doing a little bit of due diligence.
And in return for that, that Countrywide mortgage broker will just get a fixed fee for doing that transaction.
Maybe they'll get like $5,000 for just doing the paperwork for my mortgage. Right?
And then Bear Stearns will package a bunch of these mortgages up - and now it's going to be in the billions - and then repackage them and sell them to investors.
In the process, Bear Stearns gets a cut.
And Bear Stearns is doing this for millions of mortgages at a time.
It's in the billions of dollars, and Bear Stearns gets a cut.
So Bear Stearns essentially just gets a fee, like the mortgage broker.
Of course it's a huge fee.
And then the investors are going to get my interest payments. Right?
And let's say if the interest rates, if I'm paying 7%, and the other million people are paying 7%, the investors are going to get 7% on their money.
And that seems like a pretty reasonable proposition.
And of course the investors would care that the money that they're essentially giving - because they're giving money to the investment bankers who are giving money to Countrywide.
And that's where my $1 million is essentially coming from.
The only reason why the investors would give their money, is if they have a lot of confidence that these are really good loans.
Well the investors, they don't know who I am.
They don't know what my job is, how likely I am to pay the loan.
So the investors have to rely on someone to tell them that these are good loans.
And that's where the rating agencies come in.
And these are Standard & Poor's and Moody's.
And they rate these assets, these mortgage-backed securities.
And what they say is, well, they'll look at this big package of mortgages, these million mortgages that Bear Stearns has packaged together.
And they'll look at the historical default rate.
And they'll say, wow, these mortgages really haven't been defaulting.
And you can think about why they haven't.
Because housing prices been going up.
So these mortgages really haven't been defaulting.
There's a very high chance you're going to be able to get all your money back.
So we're going to give these what they call, let's say they say AAA rating.
So this investor, who knows, it could be the Central Bank of China.
It could be a hedge fund.
It could be a whole set of people.
It might be the investment banks themselves.
Sometimes they actually bought these just to make some extra money.
These investors, they don't know who actually borrowed the money, or what kind of credit rating they had, or anything.
But they just took a leap of faith.
They said well, Standard & Poor's or Moody's did the work.
They're telling me that this is AAA, which means the highest level of debt.
Or you know, whatever they told them.
Maybe it was A. I forget all the different qualities of debt.
But they just took their word for it.
And they got their 7% interest on their money - whatever it was, 6% money.
And that worked out pretty well.
And so these guys, they liked the fact that they were getting the 7%.
They said, this is a good asset class.
So then they funneled even more money.
So then there were even more investors that wanted do this.
They're like, this is great, with very little risk I'm getting a pretty good return on my money.
That's better than putting it in the bank.
That's better than buying Treasury Bills, right?
So then even more money flowed in.
Well, more money wanted to invest in people's mortgages.
But Countrywide would say, well, we're already giving mortgages to all the people who qualify.
So in order to actually find more people who want mortgages from us, we'll just have to lower the standards a little bit.
Right? And we can lower the standards, because we find even when we do lower the standards, no one's defaulting on their mortgages.
And in the next video, I'll maybe give a little bit more [? color ?] why.
So Countrywide will issue even more mortgages, and give them to these investors with even lower standards.
Of course, the mortgage brokers at Countrywide, they love it.
Because every time they do a transaction, they just get some money.
And then they give the mortgage to the investment banker, which packages them up and then sells them to investors.
So they get it off their hands.
And they just got the fee.
So they just collect the big cash.
The investment banks love it, right?
They just love doing the transactions, because they get more and more money every time they do the transactions.
And for the moment, the investors seem pretty happy, because they keep giving money into this system, so to speak.
Even though they might be reading the newspaper and seeing that the standards are going down.
But they're consistently getting their return.
And because the defaults were very low over this time period and I'll explain in the next video why the defaults were very low - they felt that they were getting a good return, maybe 6% or 7%, on investments that had very, very low risk.
So in the next video, I'll explain why the defaults were very low in that time period. See you soon.
