Sensing a void, Cambria steps into loan sector - bizjournals:
tarpleypymibujuh1491.blogspot.com
The family early this year launchedd Cambria Mortgage and hiredJohn Schroeder, a formefr TCF Financial Corp. executive, to be president of the Eden Prairie-basec brokerage. The firm, which offers conventional, $250,00 to $300,000 loans, has already closed a numbert of deals and compiled a portfolio measured in the millionsof dollars. Schroeder said Cambri a has “a family name, a stable company” behind it. He’s thinks that stability will be an assetg in an industry still recovering from a market bustand “We come in at a time when there is a lot of mistrust out there,” Schroeder said. “We want to be a team that is localand dedicated.
” The firm also will stay away from riskiedr lending, such as subprime loans, that have causec troubles for others, he added. Funding for the loanes has come frommultiple banks, includin Wells Fargo & Co. Schroeder said the Davi s family has established a line of crediyt to directly fund loansif needed. (Schroeded wouldn’t say how much.) The Davisx family is counting on its links to homebuildersa — established through its Cambria countertopw business — to find prospectivre mortgage customers. Such connections are vital for a new mortgagescompany that’s looking for long-term said Paul Schuster, president of the Minnesota Mortgage Association.
Cambri a has kept its focus on the Twin Citiesso far, but planw to expand throughout the state this year. Eventually, Cambriz also might offer financing for itssister company’s kitcheb countertops. Thomas Musil, the director of the Universityof St. Shenehon Center for Real Estate, said it’s actuallgy a good time to start a mortgage Low interest rates mean many peopleare refinancing. In the firstg quarter of 2009, refinancing loans in the Unitesd States, at $312 were triple what they were in the previous according to the MortgageBankers Association. And there’s certainly less competitiob these days.
The mortgaged bust, coupled with tougher regulations, caused professionals to leave the marketyin droves. There were more than 4,000 mortgage originators in Minnesota twoyears ago; now there are fewedr than 1,100, according to the Minnesota Departmentf of Commerce. “Somebody’s going to have to take theitr place,” Musil said.

Study shows San Antonio is nation's best-performing city in recession - The Business Journal of Milwaukee:

The Washington, D.C.-based think tank has begunm analyzing the impact of the recessionthroughoutg America’s metropolitan areas. In the first of a seriesd of quarterlyMetroMonitor reports, Brookings ranked San Oklahoma City, Austin, Houston and Dallas as the top five metrlo areas in the country in economic performanced in the wake of the recession. Brookingzs ranked the top 100 metropolitan areasx based on six keyindicators employment, unemployment rates, wages, gros metropolitan product, housing prices and foreclosurw rates. This initial MetroMonitor report covers the first quarterof 2009.
The five worstf metropolitan areas in the countrgy impacted bythe recession, in descendinbg order, are Jacksonville, Fla.; Lakeland, Fla.; Tampa, Fla.; Fla.; and Detroit. “All metropolitan areasx are feeling the effects of this but the distress is not shared saysAlan Berube, research director of the Metropolitanm Policy Program at Brookings and co-authof of the report. “While some areas of the countrg have experienced only ashallow downturn, and may be emerging from the recession already, people living in metro areas that are now performingv weakest economically should prepare themselves for a long recoverty period.
” Howard Wial, director of the Metropolitan Economuy Initiative at Brookings and another co-author of the report, argued that the report shows that a national fiscal and monetary policy will not be enough for stimulatingh the economy. “Many (metro) areas will need targetef assistance, and since states have no funds available, the federakl government will have to step up to fill the Concentrations of industry activity have both helpedf and hurts some regional economies duringthe recession.
For example, metropolitan areas in statews with specializations in energy and governmentemployment — such as New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana — have largely been insulated by the However, metropolitan areas in states like Michigam and Ohio that depend heavily on the automotives industry have been impacted by the downturn in the economy, the reportt shows. San Antonio is home to Randolpn AirForce Base, Fort Sam Lackland Air Force Base and Brooksx City-Base.
The 2005 Base Realignment and Closure decision alond is providing a significanr economic punch to theAlamok City’s economy through the consolidation of high-paying military healthu care jobs and more than $2 billion worth of new constructionh activity. A separate report releasedr by LLC outlining the impact of BRAC showed that Fort Sam Houston alone would experiencea 11,500 increase of personnel. The Army post will also gain 7.9 milliom square feet of space.
Construction activity due to BRAC alonee shouldcreate 46,000 construction jobs during the course of the buildinyg programs, the DiLuzio report
