FHA Credit Policy Changes- What I did on my Easter Weekend!

By

Hello,

 

 

I hope you good Friday is off to a wonderful start. Things have been a little chaotic this week as business is booming but we have seen constant changes with lenders guidelines and I just wanted to share items that we as lenders are required to deal with on a daily basis. As rates improve the rules are getting more and more against the borrower. Sometimes I think there’s more people involved in making the new rules and changes then actually closing the loans.

 

I wish you all a wonderful Easter weekend and make sure to cherish those loved ones around you- Looks like I have some reading to do this weekend to try to keep up with this week’s changes but I am taking Sunday as a FULL day of rest and family day.

 

Here was an email I received from one of my lenders today-    

Several revisions have been made to the FHA Credit Policy Manual this week.  Please be certain to review the following sections for changes:
