Many conventional lenders are defaulting to the FHA approval as the bellwether approval for Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac eligible loans as well. While conventional loans aren't subject to the rigorous testing the FHA uses, the credit crunch has caused lenders to usurp the traditiional loan-by-loan approval process and only accept FHA approvals.

Recently a loan officer told me that as of October 1, all of the FHA-eligible condos will be "removed from the list" and the process will have to start over. Apparently it has to do with the number of units in a complex that already have FHA loans on them. Have you heard anything about this?
