THE GREAT REAL ESTATE VALUE MELT-DOWN
A.The Community Reinvestment Act (1977) [CRA]
1. Principle Objective: Increase home ownership in the US
2. Related Objectives: end practice of “redlining” by
commercial banks
3. Requirements of the Act:
The Act requires banks and thrifts to make loans
throughout their entire market, operate depository
facilities in certain neighborhoods, and collect data
about lending habits to be periodically reported to
federal supervisory agencies. These agencies use CRA
ratings when evaluating applications for mergers and
acquisitions.
THE GREAT REAL ESTATE VALUE MELT-DOWN
A.
CRA Act modified in 1995
1. Letter from General Council to Comptroller of the Currency
a. In Re Small Business Loans
Furthermore, the CRA regulations do not require an institution
to verify revenue amounts; thus, the institution may rely on the
gross annual revenue amount provided by the borrower in the
ordinary course of business.
b. In Re Consumer Loans
The CRA regulations do not require an institution to verify
income amounts; thus, the institution may rely on the income
amounts provided by the borrower on the loan application.
2. The beginning of NINJA loans (No Income, No Job, No Assets)
THE GREAT REAL ESTATE VALUE MELT-DOWN
C. Michelle Minton (Competitive Enterprise Institute) on
Negative Results of CRA
1. Increased risk to banks: as CRA rankings increased, bank risk
increased as measured by CAMEL ratings (Capital adequacy,
Asset quality, Management, Earnings, Liquidity).
2. Increased costs to small lenders: includes the cumulative costs of
writing riskier loans (e.g.; to buyers with low FICO scores).
3. Cites study by George Benston (Emory U) suggesting that larger
banks made loans in low and middle income markets (LMI) at a
loss.
4. Rent Seeking opportunity for activist organizations: e.g., ACORN
received hundreds of thousands of dollars from JP Morgan and
Chase Manhattan Bank in exchange for ACORN’s approval of
proposed mergers.
