Resorts World Las Vegas Opens June 24 - an Inside Peek

 Las Vegas is back, people. The indefatigable destination is on the upswing, as visitors are rushing back to the ever-popular escape where round-the-clock entertainment is once again the norm.

Starting Thursday, travelers will have a new option on where to stay, as Resorts World Las Vegas officially opens its doors on June 24. The mega-resort is "the first ground-up development on the Strip in over a decade," Travel + Leisure has reported, located just north of the Fashion Show Las Vegas mall and near the Las Vegas Convention Center.

"Particularly after the past year, travelers are looking for fun, exciting destinations to explore," said Matt Schuyler, Hilton's chief brand officer, in an email to T+L. "And according to a new survey conducted by Hilton, nearly a quarter of Americans ranked Las Vegas at the top of their must-visit destination list, with 20 percent citing the Las Vegas Strip as a wish list sight to see."

The $4.3 billion wonderland will have 3,506 hotel rooms split across three Hilton properties; more than 40 places to eat and drink, including a Singapore-inspired food hall called Famous Foods Street Eats; a 5.5-acre "pool complex"; a 5,000-person concert and event venue; and tons of on-property shopping. A huge casino will have slots, table games, poker, plus a sports book and high-limit rooms.

"Las Vegas continues to cement itself as the entertainment capital of the world and is seeing exponential growth to attract visitors for experiences that span sports, music, and entertainment," said Scott Sibella, president of Resorts World Las Vegas, in an email to T+L.

"Las Vegas is resilient," added Sibella. "New investments have historically shown to drive new visitation to Las Vegas, and we hope Resorts World Las Vegas can play a role in the city's rebound. We've already seen substantial demand across the destination. Conventions and major events are starting to return, shows and entertainment venues are re-opening with limited-capacity, and, as of last week, Strip hotels were exceeding pre-pandemic occupancy levels."

The resort has until now kept a tight lid on many details of what visitors can expect, but T+L got a sneak peek at some of the amenities that will open to guests on Thursday.

Resorts World has not one but three hotels under one roof: Conrad Las Vegas, with 1,496 rooms; Crockfords Las Vegas, with 236 rooms and part of Hilton's LXR portfolio; and Las Vegas Hilton, with 1,774 rooms. Of the three, Crockfords is the most luxe but Resorts World says all three have luxurious touches.

Rooms at the Conrad Las Vegas start at 550 square feet, with residential-style furnishings and custom artwork commissioned by Resorts World Las Vegas.

The Las Vegas Hilton, the largest hotel of the three, will have spacious, contemporary rooms and suites ranging in size from 400 to 3,300 square feet. Rooms at the Las Vegas Hilton were designed by Wilson Associates, an architectural design firm with a long history of high-end hotel work, including for Conrad properties in Asia and at the Atlantis, The Palm, in Dubai.

"Resorts World Las Vegas integrates three of Hilton's premium brands, bringing together Conrad Hotels & Resorts, LXR Hotels & Resorts, and Hilton Hotels & Resorts for the first time," said Schuyler. "Each brand offers distinct accommodations and amenities, allowing us to meet guests' evolving needs and serve every type of traveler for any trip or occasion."

Resorts World Las Vegas will have seven "unique pool experiences," the property says, including an infinity pool with views of the Strip.

The resort's poker room will have plenty of space for card games.

For those that never miss a workout, even on vacation, a huge fitness center is part of the resort's overall wellness offering, which also includes a 27,000-square-foot spa.

Among the more than 40 restaurants and bars on property are a number of spots at Famous Foods Street Eats, a food hall inspired by the hawker centres of Southeast Asia and managed by Singapore-based Zouk Group.

RedTail will offer drinks, televised sports, and "social gaming," Resorts World says, with emcee-led activities including beer pong and limbo contests. 

Dawg House Saloon & Sportsbook is a Nashville-themed bar with food, drinks, dancing, and sports betting all in one spot.

Sun's Out Bun's Out will serve what Resorts World calls "innovative comfort food." All the restaurants and bars on site will also offer delivery to anywhere else on property, through a partnership with GrubHub.

"Resort World Las Vegas is integrating technology throughout every aspect of the resort," said Sibella. "From our first-of-its kind partnership with Grubhub which allows guests to conveniently order a variety of food, beverage, and retail items across the property straight from their phone, to our partnership with Gemini, that aims to make Resorts World Las Vegas one of the most crypto-friendly resorts on the Las Vegas Strip."

The exterior of the massive new complex will have what Resorts World says is one of "the largest LED building displays in the world." For more on how to plan the perfect trip to Las Vegas, check out T+L's guide to the most common mistakes visitors make in the city - and how best to avoid them.

Biden ousts housing finance chief after U.S. Supreme Court ruling

 President Joe Biden on Wednesday fired the head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency who had been appointed by his predecessor Donald Trump, acting hours after the U.S. Supreme Court expanded presidential powers to make it easier to oust the agency chief.

The court also nixed separate claims brought by shareholders of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac - both overseen by the FHFA - challenging a 2012 agreement between the agency and the Treasury Department arising from the government’s rescue of the mortgage finance firms following the 2008 financial crisis.

The justices, in the 7-2 decision, upheld part of a lower court’s ruling that the FHFA’s structure was unconstitutional under the separation of powers doctrine that distributes authority among the government’s three branches because its lone director was insufficiently accountable to the president.

The justices also voted unanimously to block separate claims brought by the shareholders challenging the 2012 agreement.

Biden, a Democrat, quickly removed agency chief Mark Calabria, who had been appointed by the Republican Trump, according to an FHFA source familiar with the matter. Calabria was confirmed by the Senate in 2019 to serve a five-year term.

A White House official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Biden would name a replacement “who reflects the administration’s values.”

Calabria said in a statement he respects the Supreme Court ruling and Biden’s authority to remove him.

The ruling was a body blow to the shareholders in their long-running battle contesting the government’s total claim on the two companies’ profits despite winning on the constitutional issue. It likely also means that Fannie and Freddie will not be leaving their government conservatorship anytime soon.

The justices, in a ruling authored by Justice Samuel Alito, sent the case back to lower courts to consider whether the shareholders can obtain compensation based on their constitutional claims. The court noted that the shareholders could not seek to void the 2012 agreement altogether.

Alito cast doubt on the notion that any subsequent FHFA decisions implementing the 2012 agreement could be cast aside, saying “there is no reason to regard any of the actions taken by the FHFA ... as void.”

The U.S. government in 2008 seized Fannie and Freddie, private enterprises established by Congress, at the height of the financial crisis as they teetered on the brink of insolvency. The government took a majority stake in each and they were placed under the supervision of the FHFA, which was created at the same time.

Wednesday’s ruling triggered the largest sell off in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in years, with their common shares each sliding by more than 30%. Their preferred shares, owned largely by hedge funds that had bet that the litigation would go their way and potentially force the government to release the companies from the conservatorship under which they have operated, fell by more than twice that margin. Fannie’s preferred “S” series and Freddie’s preferred “Z” series - among the last private capital raisings by both before their government takeover - both sank more than 60%, their largest one-day losses since the day after they were seized by the government.

The FHFA is led by a single director who until Wednesday’s ruling could be removed by the president only “for cause.”

The Supreme Court ruling, in line with a similar 2020 decision concerning the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), gives presidents the authority to remove the agency’s chief at any time. The court in the CFPB case ruled that the agency’s single-director structure was unconstitutional, deciding that a president should be able to fire its director at any time.

The 2012 agreement, sometimes referred to as the “net worth sweep,” eliminated dividend payouts to various shareholders and required Fannie and Freddie to pay the U.S. Treasury an amount equal to their quarterly net worth each quarter, which now totals billions of dollars.

Fannie and Freddie shareholders Patrick Collins, Marcus Liotta and William Hitchcock sued the FHFA and the Treasury Department in Texas in 2016 arguing that the agreement exceeded FHFA’s authority and should be invalidated. Trump’s administration appealed a 2019 ruling by the New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

California Plans To Pay Off All Unpaid Rent Racked Up During Pandemic

 by Tom Ozimek via The Epoch Times,

California authorities announced Monday the state plans to pay off 100 percent of unpaid rent accumulated during the pandemic, with the money to come from some $5.2 billion in federal COVID-19 relief funds.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom wrote in a tweet Monday that, “California is planning rent forgiveness on a scale never seen before in the United States,” attributing the post to a report by the New York Times, which noted that state lawmakers were putting the final touches on the program.

While eligibility criteria for the newly proposed program are still unclear, reports indicate that the measure would both give renters in arrears a clean slate and make landlords whole.

The state currently has about $5.2 billion on hand from multiple Congressional aid packages that is earmarked to pay off unpaid rent, Jason Elliott, senior counselor to Newsom on housing and homelessness, told the Associated Press. Elliott added that this amount should be sufficient to cover all unpaid rent in California.

“Nationwide this is certainly the largest rent relief there’s ever been,” said Russ Heimerich, a spokesman for the California Business, Consumer Services, and Housing Agency, a state organization that is overseeing the rent relief program, in remarks to The New York Times.

The proposed measure is separate from California’s existing COVID-19 Rent Relief program, which is designed to help lower-income Californians who are behind on rent. Under the existing program, eligible renters can apply for landlords to be reimbursed for 80 percent of each eligible renter’s unpaid rent between April 1, 2020, and March 31, 2021. The condition is that the landlord must agree to waive the remaining 20 percent of unpaid rent for that time period. If the landlord chooses not to participate in the program, eligible renters can apply to receive 25 percent of unpaid rent accumulated between April 1, 2020, and March 31, 2021.

Eligible renters for the existing rent relief program must have a household income that does not exceed 80 percent of the Area Median Income, must show that they have experienced financial hardship during the pandemic, and must demonstrate a risk of experiencing homelessness or housing instability.

Still unsettled is whether California will continue to ban evictions for unpaid rent beyond June 30, a pandemic-related order that was meant to be temporary but is proving difficult to undo.

Newsom and legislative leaders are meeting privately to decide what to do with respect to extending the eviction ban, part of the negotiations over the state’s roughly $260 billion operating budget.

Keith Becker, a Sonoma County property manager, told The Associated Press that 14 tenants are more than $100,000 behind in rent payments. Becker said it’s put financial pressure on the owners, who he said have “resigned themselves” to renter protections, which he noted were aimed at addressing a public health emergency and not meant to be permanent.

“We should do our best to get back to the starting point where we were in December of 2019. Anything other than that is taking advantage of a crisis,” Becker said.

Remote Work Can Be Offshored. Here's How That Would Play Out

 There have been a lot of questions about the viability of cities amid the push for remote work. A new report from Citi and the University of Oxford turns that proposition on its head by noting that remote work could be offshored. The remaining innovation-led activity will, by necessity, have to be done in-person in offices that are located in cities.

The report finds that the potential for professional services jobs to be done remotely and cheaper overseas would be the start of a foundational shift in developed economies, where the future of work could be based on innovation, exploration and creative thinking. Those tasks require face-to-face interaction and geographic proximity.

“Jobs that can be done remotely can often also be automated and offshored, meaning that occupations that center on the kind of sporadic interactions that drive innovation will become an ever-growing share of the workforce in advanced economies,” says report author Dr. Carl Benedikt Frey, director of the Oxford Martin Programme on the Future of Work at the University of Oxford, in a prepared statement.

In April 2020, at the height of the pandemic, almost two-thirds of economic activity in the US was being done remotely. While that percentage will drop, as much as 20% of work could be done remotely, leading to a 5% productivity gain.

While productivity may rise, the report says that creativity and innovation diminish when people work in isolation. Ultimately progress and productivity will stall. As remote work becomes more popular, professional service jobs are being split into more automatable tasks, like clerical or accounting work, or offshorable tasks, like payroll management and IT support.

As some of these jobs are automated or sent offshore, new employment opportunities should increase in knowledge industries, like technology, science or consulting. Specifically, the jobs created will open for roles like designing new technology products or service algorithms. Those roles rely on in-person collaboration, unplanned meetings, and informal socializing as much as they do hard work.

“Cities are going to be more important as hubs of the collaboration and innovation at the foundation of developed economies,” Frey said. “Walkable streets, bars, restaurants and cafes facilitate serendipitous meetings and help us identify problems that need solutions. Every new ‘knowledge industry’ job in a city also creates demand for five new service jobs that can’t be offshored or automated like teachers, healthcare workers and cleaners.”

The Citi and University of Oxford report isn’t the only source predicting that collaboration will help bring people back to offices.

JLL Chief Economist Ryan Severino has noted that younger workers (namely millennials) typically move to dense urban cores to work in an environment that fosters collaboration, facetime with leadership teams, and networking on a much more personal level. Dr. Tori Kerr, managing director at Hines, predicted we’ll see a more “we” than “me” model going forward, as spaces morph to give employees a tangible reason to leave their homes and commute into an office.

What happens when mortgage forbearance ends? Extension and repayment options

 

Is your mortgage forbearance about to end?

Mortgage forbearance provided a lifeline for millions of homeowners during the most difficult months of the pandemic.

But with the one-year end date for many forbearance plans rapidly approaching, homeowners will have to decide how to move forward.

Do you need to extend your COVID forbearance plan for another 3-6 months? Or are you ready to exit — and if so, what are your options?

Here’s what you need to know.

Want to refinance after forbearance? Check your eligibility (Jun 18th, 2021)

In this article (Skip to…)

• Mortgage forbearance end dates
• Forbearance extensions
• What happens when forbearance ends?
• Can I end forbearance early?
• Can I refinance after forbearance?
• Can I buy a new house after forbearance?
• What if I still can’t make payments?

Mortgage forbearance end dates

Under the CARES Act, homeowners with conventional, FHA, VA, or USDA loans could request an initial loan forbearance for up to six months. They could also request a six-month extension, for up to one year of total forbearance.

“Forbearance plans are based on when you requested them,” explains David Shapiro, president and CEO of EquiFi Corporation.

That means homeowners who entered forbearance plans early in the coronavirus pandemic are likely nearing their forbearance end dates.

For example:

• Say you have a conventional mortgage loan
• You initially requested forbearance on April 1, 2020
• At the end of your six-month forbearance period, you requested a six-month extension
• Your current forbearance plan would be set to expire on April 1, 2021

Some homeowners will be ready to exit their forbearance plans when these end dates arrive.

Remember that when you do exit forbearance, you’ll need a plan in place to repay the payments you missed during that period.

But you will not have to repay the missed amounts as a lump sum right after exiting forbearance.

We discuss repayment options below.

Many Americans, though, are still experiencing financial hardship due to coronavirus.

If you’re currently unemployed or in a position where you’re unable to resume monthly mortgage payments, you may be able to extend your forbearance plan for another 3-6 months.

Can I get a forbearance extension?

Six months of forbearance may have provided you a welcome buffer period to get back on solid financial ground.

But if you continue to experience money problems due to lack of employment, medical bills, or otherwise, you’re probably worried about how you’re going to pay the mortgage.

The good news? Recent changes by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the federal government have given homeowners additional opportunities to extend their forbearance plans.

• Homeowners with conventional loans can request one additional 3-month extension, for 15 months total loan forbearance. To be eligible, you need to have been in a COVID-19 forbearance plan prior to February 28, 2021
• Homeowners with government-backed loans (FHA, VA, USDA) can request two additional 3-month extensions, for up to 18 months total forbearance. To be eligible, you need to have been in a forbearance plan prior to June 30, 2020

So, depending on the type of mortgage you have, you may be eligible for 15-18 months of loan forbearance when all is said and done.

However, your mortgage loan servicer still gets to make the final decision on your forbearance extension.

Remember, your servicer is the company to which you make your mortgage payments. Different servicers have different requirements to qualify for mortgage forbearance, so you need to check with yours about options.

As always, help is only available if you ask for it.

Your mortgage forbearance will NOT be automatically extended. If you need an extension, you must call your servicer and request one.

How to request an extension

“Loan servicers are supposed to reach out to borrowers 30 days before the forbearance plan is scheduled to end to help them understand what options they have for repayment,” says Dongshin Kim, assistant professor of finance and real estate at Pepperdine Graziadio Business School.

But you shouldn’t necessarily wait for your lender or servicer to contact you about this option.

“If you need to continue your forbearance, contact your mortgage servicer well ahead of your forbearance end date,” recommends Jackie Boies, senior director of housing services at Money Management International.

“You need to prepare for relief to end now. Do not wait until you get your statement to ask a lender for help. Instead, contact them now, let them know your financial situation, and see how they can help.”

Can I start a new mortgage forbearance right now?

Many homeowners began their forbearance plans early in the pandemic. But what if your finances are just now beginning to run thin? Can you request a new forbearance plan in 2021?

For the time being, the answer is yes — as long as your loan servicer agrees to it.

• Homeowners with FHA, VA, and USDA loans can request an initial forbearance until June 30, 2021
• For homeowners with conventional loans, there is currently no deadline for requesting initial forbearance, according to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau

Keep in mind, forbearance is typically a ‘last resort’ solution for homeowners who don’t have other relief options.

Your first step should be to check whether you’re eligible to refinance into a loan with a more affordable monthly payment. If you can refinance and keep making mortgage payments each month, that’s ideal.

However, homeowners who are currently unemployed likely won’t be able to refinance, as this almost always requires income and employment verification.

If you’re unable to refinance, a forbearance plan might be the best path to mortgage relief. Your loan servicer will help you understand your options.

Check your refinance eligibility (Jun 18th, 2021)

What happens when forbearance ends?

If you’re ready to resume payments at the end of the forbearance period, be prepared for what happens next.

“Forbearance is not loan forgiveness. Borrowers will still owe the principal and interest that they didn’t pay during the forbearance period,” notes Kim.

“Borrowers will need to make both the regular mortgage payments and also all the payments they missed while the loan was in forbearance.”

You will typically have several options for repayment once forbearance expires:

1. Full repayment, which is a one-time lump sum payment. It’s possible to pay back all the missed payments at once. But lenders are NOT allowed to require this. “If you are unable to pay the lump sum, you have other options,” says Boies
2. Intermittent payments, where you arrange repayment with your servicer over three, six, nine, or 12 months — whichever makes the most sense — on top of your regular payments
3. Lengthen your loan term and pay off the missed amount at the end of the extended loan term, with additional mortgage payments
4. Payment deferral. This option lets you pay off the missed amount when the home is sold, refinanced, or at the end of the loan term
5. Pursue a loan modification. “This helps borrowers who are at risk of default change their mortgage terms – usually including a lower interest rate, reduced length of the loan, or reduced monthly payment,” adds Boies

The right option for you depends on your current finances, employment status, and ability to resume mortgage payments.

When you contact your loan servicer, be sure to discuss every option in detail so you know exactly what to expect with the repayment plan you select.

Expect delays when contacting your mortgage servicer

The experts warn that you should anticipate a few possible snags and setbacks post-forbearance, especially when it’s time to contact your loan servicer.

“Borrowers should expect very long delays and may experience inconsistency in customer support representatives,” cautions Shapiro.

“Loan servicing organizations are not all properly staffed for the expected volume of forbearances, and they can’t train support agents fast enough to meet their needs.

“Also,” Shapiro continues, “be prepared for process changes, as regulators react to the crisis in real-time and create new rules or modify existing rules.”

Even if you can’t get through on the first few contact attempts, don’t give up.

“Be patient, but be persistent. Mortgage servicers have struggled to keep up with calls during the COVID crisis, but many have made online options easy and added staffing,” says Boies.

Keep a close eye on your credit report and score

If your mortgage has been in forbearance, check your credit report carefully.

CARES Act rules state that mortgages in forbearance should not be reported as having late or missed payments. And the forbearance plan should not harm your credit score.

But this is another area where mistakes can happen.

“Sometimes there can be mistakes and issues with credit scores that can pop up around forbearance,” Kim says.

Remember, lenders and servicers have never before had to deal with mortgage forbearances on this scale. So it’s up to the borrower to be extra-vigilant and make sure nothing slips through the cracks.

Check your loan statements every month and stay on top of your credit report.

Remember, you get one free credit report per week through April 2021. So you can keep a closer eye on it than usual.

Can I end my forbearance plan early?

You don’t have to wait for a six- or 12-month forbearance period to come to an end. Instead, you can opt to exit forbearance earlier than expected.

Just be prepared to pay back the amount you weren’t able to pay while forbearance was in place, cautions Kim.

“The best time to end forbearance is when the borrower is comfortable and able to make payments, including the additional money for repayments they owe,” Kim adds.

If you’re ready to end forbearance, contact your loan servicer and request this.

“But be sure your financial foundation is strong enough, meaning you have some type of emergency fund to back up your ability to pay your mortgage,” suggests Shapiro.

And, make sure you understand your options for repaying the missed amounts so you’re ready to discuss them with your servicer.

Can I refinance after forbearance?

Refinancing after you exit forbearance could be a smart move.

If you’re able to lock in a lower interest rate and monthly payment, it could make resuming your mortgage payments that much easier.

That goes double for homeowners who decide to repay their missed loan amount by adding a little extra to each monthly payment.

Typically, you won’t be able to refinance right away.

But you might be able to do so after you’ve been making payments for a few months.

For most major loan types — including conventional, FHA, and USDA loans — you need to have made at least 3 consecutive payments after exiting forbearance in order to be refinance-eligible.

As long as you meet basic loan requirements, you shouldn’t have to wait longer than 3 months to refinance

Refinance waiting periods on FHA loans may be less than 3 months for some borrowers who qualify for a Streamline Refinance.

The VA loan program is even more lenient.

The VA doesn’t impose a specific waiting period to refinance after forbearance. It only says VA lenders must verify that the borrower has recovered from their financial hardship.

Keep in mind, refinance requirements will vary by lender.

If your current mortgage lender wants to impose a longer waiting period to refinance, shop around for a different lender that can help you refi sooner.

As long as you meet basic credit, income, and debt requirements, you shouldn’t have to wait longer than 3 months after your forbearance plan ends to refinance

Verify your refinance eligibility (Jun 18th, 2021)

Can I buy a new house after forbearance?

Having a mortgage forbearance in your past shouldn’t stop you from buying a new home in the future.

Historically, lenders have had stricter requirements about getting a home purchase loan after forbearance. But that was before COVID.

Now, lenders and mortgage agencies understand that the pandemic forced large swaths of homeowners into forbearance — many of whom are otherwise perfectly creditworthy.

As a result, they’ve loosened up requirements to qualify for a new home purchase with a COVID-related forbearance in your past.

Rules are similar to those for refinancing. If you want to buy a new home with a conventional, FHA, or USDA loan, you need to have made at least 3 consecutive payments on your current loan after exiting forbearance.

Again, the Department of Veterans Affairs is most lenient here. It says “lenders should not use a CARES Act forbearance as a reason to deny a Veteran a VA-guaranteed loan.”

Rather, VA borrowers will need to explain the reason for their COVID forbearance and prove that they’re now on solid financial footing.

Of course, borrowers hoping to buy a home after forbearance will also need to meet basic requirements for credit score, down payment, debt-to-income ratio, and ongoing income/employment.

But, provided you meet these guidelines, lenders can’t deny you a home purchase loan just because you had a COVID-related forbearance in the past. 

Check your mortgage eligibility (Jun 18th, 2021)

What if you still can’t afford your mortgage payments after forbearance?

The worst-case scenario: Forbearance ends and you still can’t pay your monthly mortgage. What can you do?

“You’ll probably need to consider disposition options,” says Boies.

“This may include selling your home if you can no longer afford it. Foreclosure, short sale, and deed-in-lieu are other ways of disposing of a home you can’t afford.”

Boies warns, “These options may be damaging to your credit and should be reserved until you’ve exhausted all other solutions.”

The bottom line

If your mortgage forbearance plan is nearing its end date, you have options.

As long as your initial forbearance was under the CARES Act, your loan servicer cannot ask you to repay all the missed payments at once.

Make sure you explore your options and find a repayment plan you’re comfortable with.

Conventional, FHA, VA, and USDA loans are also offering forbearance extensions until at least mid-2021. So if you’re not ready to resume payments, ask your loan servicer whether you qualify for an extension.

And remember that forbearance is never automatic.

Whether you need an extension or you’re ready to start making payments again, you need to talk to your loan servicer and make sure it’s on board with the plan.
