The Magic Negro Keeps Amazin' Us

Obama Mortgage $903,000 over Legal Limit

Via DBKP

“

While researching an article about Obama’s Chicago home about the circumstances surrounding who is the “owner”, I happened across a bit of information: Obama’s home has a Fannie Mae-Freddie Mac mortgage to the tune of $1,320,000. (Page 5 of Cook County Property Assessment Record)

The information comes from the Cook County Clerk’s office where the “owner” of the Obama home is listed as William Miceli, a former supervisor of Obama’s when he worked at the David Law Firm.

What’s unusual about the Obama mortgage is that the upper limits of a Fannie Mae loan on a single family dwelling as of January, 2008, is $417,000 while mortgages in “high cost” areas cannot exceed $729,750.

The Obama’s mortage, through Northern Trust Company, is in the amount of $1,320,000. [cont]

We all know this will barely amount to a pile of stinking feces, that will be swept away. It's why I've lost faith and can no longer stomach politics.; 12/14/08, 8:55 PM

Further research found that the Obama’s obtained a Land Trust Agreement with Northern Trust which means they did not receive a Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac loan over the Federal limit.

It seems that Northern Trust became both the “borrower” and the “lender” regarding the Obama South Greenwood property. The Cook County Tax Assessment lists the “loan” as Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac. What remains to be determined is the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac loan designation assigned to Northern Trust and what limits companies such as Northern Trust are limited to when seeking a loan.

Hopefully he'll find out what the limits on loans to entities like Northern Trust are.; 12/15/08, 7:28 AM
