Mortgage borrowers across Jacksonville, Charlotte, Memphis, and Las Vegas are hitting 30-day delinquencies at rates we haven’t seen since 2008, and the banks holding those loans are already marking them nonperforming.

The pace of REO conversions is accelerating faster than most analysts expected, with lenders choosing to dump properties rather than ride out another workout cycle.

Meanwhile, $350 million in commercial mortgages just got handed back to lenders this week as vacant offices and shuttered retail forced borrowers to walk away.
