Banks Extend Sandy Help on Homes | Essentials

Banks Extend Sandy Help on Homes

Excerpt:

Banks are offering extended relief to homeowners in areas affected by superstorm Sandy in the form of loan forbearance and fee waivers, making a small dent into the billions of dollars in damages that are expected. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac reminded mortgage servicers last week that homeowners in places that are declared disaster areas by President Obama were eligible for federal assistance programs. In some cases mortgage payments could be delayed for up to one year, Freddie Mac said. Over a million homes in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut are still without power, as residents face the dangers of dropping temperatures. New York City's low on Monday was forecasted at 30 degrees. Homes in Rockaway Beach in Queens, N.Y., and Staten Island, N.Y., are still uninhabitable because of flooding or lost power. New York Gov.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
