JPMorgan now holds some 20% of the US bank loans on apartment buildings.
Before the crisis, the bank ranked closer to 20th. JPMorgan now has $52 billion of these loans outstanding, giving it a stronghold in a market that is increasingly important in the US after the housing crisis brought down the homeownership rate.
Those loans helped boost JPMorgan’s apartment-lending earnings, which reached $600 million in 2014. Expenses in the unit, which include the costs of processing loan applications and running offices, were only 22% of net interest income, low in an industry where 35% is considered good, Brooks said.
So that is about $11.5 million per year for every $1 Billion in Apartment Loans. So of the $600 million approx $345 would have been from the Wamu Loans..... if the typical Apartment Loan is for 15 years than the Wamu Loans would of added about $5.1 Billion...discounted back makes the Present Value of almost $2.9 Billion... So the question is how much would someone pay today? maybe a $1 Billion?
