2007-07-31: IndyMac's Net Falls 57 Percent as Defaults Surge
Chief Executive Officer Michael Perry has said loans made by IndyMac, which caters to so-called Alt-A borrowers who fall just short of standards for top-rated loans, are 17 times less prone to default than subprime mortgages. Shares of the company had dropped 52 percent this year before today on concern rising defaults on loans made to the riskiest borrowers would spread to the types in which IndyMac specializes.
``Those of us at IndyMac get a little sick of hearing Alt-A is near subprime,'' Perry said on a conference call with analysts. The mortgage industry's losses from Alt-A loans are about 1/12th the rate on subprime loans, he said.

The decision to buy should never be decided on "who you ask". Instead it should always be based on sound real estate investment practices. I have been buying property for 15 years, holding some, selling some. My purchases have always been based on my ability to pay and the outlook for long and short term hold positions. I am also a real estate agent and stayed out of the purchasing frenzy of the past few years. (The numbers didn't make sense) I turned away a few "speculators" during those time and those that I did end up working with knew as many of the risks involved as possible. I went so far as to have them sign documents stating I didn't "bring them the deal". Now that things are starting to come back into perspective I am finding great long term purchase opportunities. Rates are great and sellers are dealing. If anyone would like assistance evaluating a long term real estate purchase please let me know. I will be happy to take a look at it, at no cost or obligation. I love my job and I love helping others.
Thank you.
