Apparently JP Morgan is hearing a different news report than most of the nation, as it recently announced plans to hire about 1200 loan officers across the nation. Their name may be familiar because when the real estate market first started to crash, JP Morgan purchased mortgage lending giant Washington Mutual for a fraction of their worth with tax payer money. Does that jog your memory? I thought it might.
JP Morgan also purchases the fallen Wall Street foe, Bear Stearns, after Bear was rejected for bailout fund by former Goldman Sachs head Ben Bernanke and his crony, Hank Paulson.
JP’s main strategy states that the new loan officers will be strategically placed across the nation and will work from local loan hubs and banks. The confusing part is the reasoning for the hiring decision. They are reported to have claimed that they want to be able to most dutifully service and serve home loan seekers when the real estate market does turn around. That is not a verbatim quote, but it does convey the point.
All of this leads you to ask exactly what are they seeing that so many other are apparently not seeing? They are hiring when it seems every other business is laying people off? For the majority of people, this is illogical, unless they know more than everybody else somehow.
Ok, I will stop making statements that don’t communicate my real intent. JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs have both been waiting to start lending again to maximize their own profits at the expense of the American consumer and home buyers and sellers expense.
You frequently see these kinds of confusing moves when an accounting department is trying to hide something that they don’t want divulged, but this action may signal a turn around for our national real estate market!
