Truth or Consequences - 07/31/09 03:58 PM
The last day of the month.
As Ronald Reagan used to say, "There you go again." Everyone's closing.
Program changes take affect each new month which is Monday August 3rd.
 And there are program changes every month and they usually aren't anything that benefits a borrower.
They are designed to benefit a borrower but ultimately benefit the big bank.
Take for example, there is a change to the Truth-In-Lending disclosure form that actually went into affect yesterday July 30th.
Now there's a misnomer. Truth in Lending.
 Anyway it has to do with re-disclosures and waiting periods and three days and seven … (0 comments)

Why FHA Loans Make Sense - 07/17/09 11:53 AM
An FHA mortgage loan allows buyers to purchase a 1-4 unit owner occupied property with a minimal down payment and at affordable rates, which today are in the low 5s on a 30 year fixed loan. The monthly mortgage insurance is less on an FHA loan than a conventional loan because some of if it is financed into the loan.

Wild market swings continue however mortgage rates for 30 year loans remain in the low 5s in Wisconsin whether you are selecting a conventional loan or FHA financing. The reason many loans are closing with FHA is because with an FHA loan only a 3.5% down payment is required and this money does not have to be "seasoned" in an account 60 days like it would with a conventional loan.
