Lender seeks Chapter 11 amid mortgage lender collapses
American Home Mortgage Investment Corp filed for Chapter 11 in Wilmington, joining Houston based Aegis Mortgage and Cleveland based National City Corp in halting new loan applications as the housing crunch widens. The move follows falling home prices and rising defaults that spooked investors and tightened funding. American Home secured up to 50 million in debtor in possession financing from WL Ross & Co. and is among more than 50 lenders to seek bankruptcy this year.
