Americas Watchdog Accuses Federal Reserve & Congress of Looking the Other Way On U.S. Banks and Mortgage Bankers Hiding A Huge Mortgage Kick Back Called a Yield Spread Premium That Affects 50 Million Current U.S. Homeowner's Monthly Mortgage Payments

According to Americas Watchdog, "The US Federal Reserves suggestion to clamp down on mortgage bankers, and US banks is a pathetic joke. The most important issue, called a yield spread premium, was for obvious reasons overlooked. The US Federal Reserve should be forced to explain to Congress why US banks and Mortgage Bankers do not have to disclose a huge kick back for inflating 50 million+ US homeowners interest rate/monthly mortgage payment." There is one slight problem. According to Americas Watchdog, "The US Congress has been bought and paid for by US Banks, US Mortgage Bankers, and National Home Builders for years. The poster boy for this is US Senate Banking Committee Chairman Chris Dodd (D) (source NY Times). He's a perfect example of a bought and paid for member of Congress. He received a wink and a kiss mortgage from the now notorious mortgage lender, Countrywide Home Loans." (PRWeb Jul 9, 2008)

Americas Watchdog Warns All U.S. Homeowners, U.S. Pension Funds and Shareholders of Mutual Funds to Get Ready for Grim Economic News with a Preview of 2009

Americas Watchdog is warning all U.S. homeowners, U.S. pension funds & shareholders of U.S. mutual funds to prepare for economic conditions that are about to get as bad as they get. For years, the group has been warning that the U.S. real estate market was going to turn into a biblical type disaster. Now the group is saying, "If you combine what is about to become the worst U.S. real estate disaster ever, with $140+ per barrel oil, you end up with something worse than might be possible to comprehend." Americas Watchdog also thinks its time to hold U.S. Banks, U.S. Investment Bankers, U.S. Home Builders and Mutual Funds, accountable for what they have done to U.S. consumers. According to Americas Watchdog, this should include jail, and class actions against those companies that took the entire U.S. economy to what is now the brink of going right down the tube.

The Siegel Group Acquires Deer Creek Apartments From Bankruptcy Court

The Siegel Group Nevada, Inc., a Commercial Real Estate & Business Development Company and Great American Capital today announced that in partnership the two companies have completed the acquisition of the Deer Creek Apartments; a 330 unit apartment complex situated on approximately 6.68 acres of land adjacent to the corner of Flamingo and Swenson in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Siegel Group had previously been negotiating the purchase of Deer Creek back in late 2007 with the prior owner of the property, Atherton Newport Investments, which acquired the property in February of 2006 with the intention of demolishing and constructing a condominium development for which it submitted for the required entitlements. In early 2008 the property was put into bankruptcy and assigned to a Trustee by the Bankruptcy Court with whom The Siegel Group and Great American Capital continued negotiations with; ultimately settling on a purchase price of $19.10 million. SASCO Properties, an affiliate of the Siegel Group, will assume operational control and immediately begin to correct the numerous deficiencies that the previous owner and property management company failed to address which resulted in high vacancy rates and numerous tenant delinquencies that are months in arrears. The property will be re-tenanted followed by a substantial renovation to correct years of deferred maintenance and cosmetic issues and renamed Siegel Suites Swenson and operate under the Siegel Suites brand which provides quality residential accommodations throughout Nevada. Additionally, The Siegel Group plans to construct additional apartment units with a retail component or a flagged business hotel on excess land located on the southeast corner of the property.
