U.S. seals mortgage settlement with top banks

Federal and state officials announced Thursday morning a $25 billion settlement of a long-running probe into allegedly shoddy foreclosure practices at the nation's five largest banks, a deal that will include more than $1 billion in assistance to former and current Illinois homeowners.

The agreement between the federal government, state attorneys general and the five banks -- Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Citibank and Ally Financial  formerly known as GMAC -- will not help former homeowners get back properties they lost to foreclosure, even if there was wrongdoing by loan servicers in the foreclosure process. Nor will its limited scope assist all current homeowners who find themselves in financial straits or severely underwater. Most notably, the agreement does not cover mortgages held by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

4 Factors to Consider Before Applying for a Secured Credit Card


Just before you start looking for the top secured credit card account, we recommend that you consider first the factors we've listed below. We believe that in so doing, you are able to enhance your chances of ending up having a credit line that may work for you and budget.

Four Factors to consider 
  • Your own finances. Credit applicants, for example yourself, are always reminded to consider time for you toreview their personal finances before they start shopping for a credit card. Why? Because making a budget will give you a chance to determine that you actually need and can afford a new secured credit card. Ask yourself, do I Need to have a new credit card, or will i just need a new credit card.
So, if you create your budget, you should list your complete bills. You may already know, secured credit cards are secured by a deposit you make for the credit card company. By making a budget it is possible to figure out how much money you must save each month til you have enough on your security deposit and charges. However, in case your budget reveals that you are basically living paycheck to paycheck and that your earnings barely covers your monthly expenses then, it might be wise to hold back until you feel more stable, financially before you think about getting a new credit card

FHA multifamily loan originations at record high

(Reuters) - The Federal Housing Administration has backed a record $10.5 billion in multifamily rental housing loans during its 2011 fiscal year, the agency said on Tuesday.

The rise in loans for multifamily units reflects an underlying trend in demand for rental property.

The FHA has endorsed nearly 1,100 multifamily loans this fiscal year, which runs until October 1, more than seven times the amount it backed three years ago. For the second time, loan activity exceeded $10 billion.

"FHA has never been more relevant in making sure the multifamily apartment marketplace continues to function even during these tough economic times," Carol Galante, FHA's acting commissioner, said in a statement.

S&P upgrades Google stock days after "sell" view

Recommendations to unload Google Inc stock are extremely rare on Wall Street. But the latest "sell" rating for the Internet company was so fleeting it existed for just three trading days.

Standard & Poor's upgraded Google's stock on Monday, giving it a "hold" rating, reversing its much-debated downgrade the prior week.

S&P had slapped Google with a Sell rating -- the only such bearish call on the Internet giant's stock among almost 40 analysts tracked by Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S -- after a surprise August 15 announcement that it will buy Motorola Mobility Holdings Inc for $12.5 billion.

As with other investors and industry commentators, S&P voiced concern about Google's plans to enter the smartphone manufacturing business, which could weigh on its financials and create conflicts with the other handset vendors who also license Google's Android software.
