Kevin Yeats Only 92 bank failures
18 December 2011 | 6 replies
I have been told by some bank presidents that what they do with their loans depends on whether they originated it in house or bought it with a loss share agreement with the FDIC.With the FDIC they are guaranteed so many cents on the dollar on the loan and they have told me that the FDIC doesn't require them to do anything with the loan until 2014.So investors offering to buy at market for 50% on the dollar from original balance are being rejected as the FDIC is guaranteeing the bank 80 cents from original balance.Many banks are in a "wait and see" approach and are hoping for some recovery of pricing assets but knows a full recovery on the balance sheet is not possible from original loan balances funded during the boom.So each banks situation is different and you have to take advantage in the time period of being vulnerable.I have learned this on my deals with clients and myself.Once you get an approval on a low price with a specific asset manager or board member you have to close it fast.
