mortgage insurance: New Conventional Flip Rule! - 10/09/09 08:07 AM
ATTENTION! Mortgage insurance companies are adapting a similar rule as FHA in regards to flipping properties. This will impact the mortgage market starting 10/12/2009, not leaving us with much time. If you have Conventional buyers above 80% loan to value, please make sure the mortgage insurance has been ordered prior to this date. This is coming out at rapid speed 3 out of 5 mortgage insurance companies have adopted this rule. The other two are in the process and have strict requirements to do a loan under 90 days and I believe they will be changing their rules as well within

mortgage insurance: Don't Trust Me....I'm Your Lender! - 09/01/08 10:27 PM
Can you believe that is what I tell every single one of my clients, be it a first time home buyer or someone down sizing? Guess what? They are listening!!! Instead of shopping me they are educating themselves by doing extra homework (that I give them) and making sure they are prepared at closing. I explain to them that I'm a commission only employee, their closing of their home is what feed my children. How do they know that I will look in the best interest of them and not myself....really? After all, I'm not stuck with their debt for 30

mortgage insurance: Pricing on FHA is beating a 20% down Conventional loan? Are you kidding me? - 08/25/08 10:03 PM
Okay, I'm shocked....I just priced out a 20% down Conventional with a 647 credit score, I just knew Conventional would beat FHA. NOPE, even with mortgage insurance FHA beat out Conventional. I'm not sure how I feel about this. I can remember when 647 was a good score, there are pricing hits even with a 739 and 20% down. So the new walk on water credit score is 740+, who has that anymore? Scary considering that the average credit score for Americans sit around 670 ish. So when the time comes, how do I explain to the buyer with 20% down that FHA
