Assessing Problems of Default in Local Mortgage Markets

Addresses concerns raised about concentrations of Federal Housing Authority (FHA) defaults in neighborhoods & among lenders in a 1997 study by the Nat. Training Info. Center. The 1st phase of the report culminated with a March 1998 report which examined whether FHA defaults were concentrated among a group of high-default neighborhoods & high-default lenders. The 2nd phase of the study replicated a number of the initial analyses with the addition of credit history data. This report combines the 1st phase findings with the new 2nd phase findings. As expected, the updated analysis shows that high default neighborhoods & lenders have more borrowers with poor credit.Cotterman, Robert F. is the author of 'Assessing Problems of Default in Local Mortgage Markets', published 2002 under ISBN 9780756720100 and ISBN 0756720109.
