David Blassingame commented on Marcie Belles's blog post 'N.Y. Auto Fraud Rings Scam 18 Lenders'
This was not an underwriting issue.  All the drivers used their own good credit to qualify.  They were all solid citizens.  It was their credit history.  Everything about the deals checks out because there's no fraud…

We were hit about 8 or 9 years ago. They worked out of Arizona and Las Vegas. The only signs were that they all went through the same salesperson and the deals made too much money. There were no laws in Arizona that applied to this particullar…

David Blassingame commented on Mike Gibb's blog post 'The Incentive Dis-Incentive'
Although what you report on retail purchases is true, the incentivised residuals on leases has returned, to the detriment of the industry.  Ford and GM are begining to subvent residuals, even on their best sellers, by thousands of…

Bill,  Thanks for the opportunity.  Our business does not hold any paper on any deals we do.  We broker everything.  We have very little appitite for risk, either credit or residual.  David

David Blassingame commented on Marcie Belles's blog post 'The Short-Term-Lease Dilemma'
So far, not too much.  Small residual enhancements from some of the Asian manufacturer's captives.  Nothing like we saw from the domestics prior to 2008.  The enhancements I've seen from the domestics have been reduced…

David, I am representing a Houston based company with at least $4 million of equity on residuals for a 6,500 unit lease portfolio. My Houston client is planning to exit the residual management business in favor of another industry. Would you have…

David Blassingame commented on Marcie Belles's blog post 'The Short-Term-Lease Dilemma'
If the manufacturer's captives structure their 24/36 month leases with reasonable residuals, those short term leases won't hurt the industry.  The risk is in enhancing residual beyond actual resale values.  Then you…

Pretty amazing. No mention of any government policies or political pressures to reduce accountability to qualify for some of the mortgages that were a big part in the crash.

David Blassingame commented on Marcie Belles's blog post 'Dictating Consumer Demand'
This will be a non-issue. The next thing we'll see from Washington is a HEAFTY tax on gasoline implemented to pay for the new health care bill and the rest of the entitlement programs coming down the pike. I can see it now…we’ll…

David, I am representing a Houston based company with at least $4 million of equity on residuals for a 6,500 unit lease portfolio. My Houston client is planning to exit the residual management business in favor of another industry. Would you have interest in viewing the ALG analytics on this portfolio? Again, my client owns the residual risk and not each lease. Let me know your thoughts. - Bill Thaxton
