      <title>brightgreen mortgage campaign - Prius Sweepstakes - Go Green</title>

&lt;strong&gt;1st Metropolitan Mortgage Introduces BrightGreen Mortgage Campaign; Toyota Prius Sweepstakes &lt;/strong&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;CHARLOTTE, N.C., Oct 8, 2008&lt;/strong&gt; &#8211; 1st Metropolitan Mortgage, a national mortgage originator, has made a commitment to making the mortgage origination process more environmentally friendly by introducing its national BrightGreen Mortgage campaign. The program will give originators the tools and support to produce more environmentally-friendly mortgages while saving consumers time and money.

Participating branches will operate in a greener and far more sustainability way than the current industry standard to produce mortgages.

&#8220;We do not have to be environmental activists or make complete lifestyle changes to have a significant, positive effect on our environment,&#8221; said Daniel Jacobs, 1st Metropolitan CEO. &#8220;Simple acts go a long way to preserving our future. 1st Metropolitan Mortgage has always said we have a solid foundation for a better future. The BrightGreen Mortgage initiative is just another way of demonstrating our commitment to the future.&#8221;

The campaign has multiple facets from community initiatives to a hybrid vehicle sweepstakes to new technology and business practice better accomplish the mission of the BrightGreen Mortgage. &#8220;As a company in an inherently paper-saturated business, we believe it is imperative that we take the initiative to reduce paper and become even more environmentally socially responsible,&#8221; Jacobs said. &#8220;This campaign increases awareness within our organization of corporate social responsibility while also providing our originators a way to differentiate the goods and services they provide in a highly commoditized industry, which is not historically environmentally responsible. Consumers win, we win, the environment wins&#8230; and one lucky person will win a &lt;strong&gt;Toyota Prius&lt;/strong&gt;.&#8221;

There are several elements to the BrightGreen Mortgage campaign, including:
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Consumers will have the opportunity to win a Toyota Prius hybrid during a six-month
sweepstakes. The Prius is one of the country&#8217;s most popular hybrids with gas mileage
of 45 highway, 48 city and 46 combined. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.firstmetromortgagejp.com/BGM_20_Coloring_20_Contest.html"&gt;A local coloring contest for students will encourage young people to share their thoughts
about being eco-friendly. The winning pictures will be compiled for a calendar. Click here for Form Entries Due December 12, 2008&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;1st Metropolitan will provide special on-going sustainability training to help participating
branches become more eco-friendly. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;There will be a focus on the using recycled paper in when paper elimination is not
possible. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Recycling, document scanning and e-signatures (where allowable) are key elements to
the BrightGreen Mortgage. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;1st Metropolitan will also plant a new tree for each loan closed as part of the
BrightGreen Mortgage.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;The company estimates that for every loan, 500 pieces of paper are used, which means for 17 closed loans, one tree is consumed, 811 gallons of waste water is created and 242 pounds of green house gases (CO2) are created. This does not take into consideration the loans that do not result in a closing. With the BrightGreen Mortgage, 1st Metropolitan plans to reduce these numbers substantially. &#8220;While we cannot eliminate 100 percent of the paper, waste water and green house gases used in the mortgage,&#8221; Jacobs said, &#8220;the BrightGreen mortgage is a major step toward greater sustainability and the reduction of squandering our environmental resources.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff6666;"&gt;1&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff6666;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;st Metropolitan Mortgage&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;4608 Highway 49 S&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Harrisburg, NC 28075&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Phone: 704-490-4733 Fax: 704-454-5660&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Toll Free: 1-888-327-8657&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;(1-888-FAST OKS)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;email: &lt;a href="mailto:john.popp@yahoo.com"&gt;john.popp@yahoo.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.firstmetromortgagejp.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;www.firstmetromortgagejp.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>

      <title>Stated Income Mortgage Loans - Basic guidelines </title>
      <description>There are very few Stated Income Loans left for borrowers who need to use them.   The few programs left have very strict underwriting guidelines.  Below is a list of borrower attributes that an automated underwriting engine will look at when qualifying a person on a stated  income mortgage loan.

&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;credit score above a 720&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Liquid Assets must reflect stated income used to qualify&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;6 to 12 months of reserves in the bank&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;2 borrowers are preferred &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;5 years with the same employer or 5 years of self employment is needed.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Minimum of 10% down on a purchase - the more... the better chance you have of getting approved&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;90% LTV on a refinance is required&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Even if you have all of the above positive attributes the automated engine may still not approve your request for a stated income mortgage.  You will need to give a complete application so that we could run your information through the automated system to see if you qualify.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff6666;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1st Metropolitan Mortgage&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;4608 Highway 49 S&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Harrisburg, NC 28075&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Phone: 704-490-4733 Fax: 704-225-9950&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Toll Free: 1-888-327-8657&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;(1-888-FAST OKS)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;email: &lt;a href="mailto:john.popp@yahoo.com"&gt;john.popp@yahoo.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.firstmetromortgagejp.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;www.firstmetromortgagejp.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>

      <title>New Risk Based Premiums for FHA Mortgage Insurance</title>
      <description>Effective with new FHA Mortgage Loans Originated after July 14, 2008, FHA has implemented a new risk-based premium guideline on one-to four-unit single family mortgages.

Before the new change the upfront mortgage Insurance Premium was 1.5% on all transactions and the Monthly MI Factor was 50bp. The monthly MI would not apply on 15 year mortgage loans with a LTV of 90 or less.

Under the new guidelines, the upfront MI can be as low as 1% on a Streamline FHA to FHA Refinance to a high of 2.25% for a borrower with a credit score between 500 and 559.

Feel Free to &lt;a href="http://www.firstmetromortgagejp.com/FHA_20_PURCHASE.html"&gt;visit our website to see a matrix of FHA's risk based mortgage program.&lt;/a&gt;

      <title>USDA Mortgage Program with Credit Scores under 620 </title>
      <description>&lt;p align="center"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;Updated USDA Credit Criteria&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;For Scores Below 620&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;hr id="null"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In a recently released USDA Rural Development Administrative Notice (AN) Number 4346, &lt;u&gt;Utilizing Credit Scores for Underwriting Single Family Housing Guaranteed Loans&lt;/u&gt; and (AN) Number 4345 &lt;u&gt;Single Family Housing Guaranteed Program Applicant Traditional and Non-Traditional Credit History Verification&lt;/u&gt;, Rural Development has provided direction to USDA Guaranteed Rural Housing GRH) Originators regarding the use of credit risk scores as part of the underwriting decision, as well as how to address credit verification requirements for applicants with no credit risk score.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;For Applicants with Credit Risk Scores between 580 and 620&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The borrower must provide the originator documentation that the circumstances surroundingh the adverse information were temporary in nature, and were beyond the applicant's control, and have been removed so their reoccurrence is unlikely.

A borrowers Job Stability will have more meaning to the decision process. Must show stability in Commission Income and Bonus Income if this type of income will be used to qualify.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Originator must evaluate new PITI for payment Shock. If new PITI is 100% or greater than current rent payment or borrower has no rent payment must look at how borrower is going to make new payment - has borrower been able to save money on a monthly basis?
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If the borrower currently rents a 12 month VOR is required.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;Applicants with Credit Risk Scores below 580&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

If any of the following apply borrower should be denied:
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;One or more late payments in the past 12 months&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Foreclosure discharged less than 36 months ago&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Outstanding Tax Liens or delinquent government debt with no payment arrangements currently due&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Outstanding judgements within past 12 months&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Two or more rent payments 30 days late with last 3 years&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Accounts converted to collection in the last 12 months&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Outstanding collection accounts with no payment arrangements that are currently due&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Bancruptcy discharged less than 36 months ago&lt;/li&gt;

      <title>Loan Limit Increase Fact or Fiction or What?</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;For the past month I have been waiting for the conforming loan limits to increase to 625,000.&amp;nbsp; Increasing the conforming loan limits automatically increases FHA Mortgage Loan Limits. This would have opened the flood gates with mortgage refinancing that up until this happens could not have been accomplished.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Today on yahoo I read &lt;a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080211/ap_on_bi_ge/bush_economy" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bush Acknowledges economic uncertainty AP&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; it stated that the loan limits will be temporarily increased to $729,750.00.&amp;nbsp; Sounds good right?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wrong...&amp;nbsp; It turns out that the press seems to have it all wrong.&amp;nbsp; This loan limit increase is not going to affect&amp;nbsp;America on a national level as we are lead to beleive.&amp;nbsp;The&amp;nbsp;loan limits are going to be 417,000&amp;nbsp;or&amp;nbsp;125% OF MEDIAN HOME PRICES of an area - by county,&amp;nbsp;with a cap of $729,750.00.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is good news for those of you live in a high value area,&amp;nbsp;but for the majority of America this stimulus package will have no affect.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;sorry for the bad news....for most of you&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>Rates are at an all time low call 704-490-4733 ext 101 to see what your new low payment will be!!!
&lt;p&gt;

If you currently have an FHA Mortgage, you can "Streamline Refinance" your current mortgage. &lt;p&gt;What exactly does "Streamline Refinance" mean? &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There is no appraisal required, no income or asset information listed on your application. Most lenders will run at least 1 of the 3 credit agency reports to get your current payment history on your mortgage. While your current credit situation does not matter in doing a "Streamline Refinance" you should not have more than 2 30 day late payment on your current mortgage in the last 12 months. You must be able to supply the lender with a copy of your current "NOTE" from your last mortgage settlement. It should only take 2 weeks from the time of application to the actual closing date. To view my official Website Please Click HERE &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you are interested in an FHA Refinance and live in NC please give me a call. 704-490-4733 &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Purchasing a Home with an FHA Mortgage with no money down  - &lt;a href="http://www.firstmetromortgagejp.com/apply.html" target="_blank"&gt;apply now&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;Please feel free to call me to discuss your mortgage options.
