Welcome Back Flippers! - New FHA Rule

By
Real Estate Agent with john greene, Realtor

Beginning Feb 1st, 2010, for a period of one year, the FHA is waiving the 90 day Flip Rule that they had previously instituted.   Kudos to this decision.  Let's get back to improving the quality of homes, and putting people back to work in an effort to improve them.  While we're at it we will improve the inventory and economy, and provide folks with a reason to buy homes once again.   In doing so we will be re-energizing neighborhoods and placing desirable inventory back on the shelves as opposed to deserted and neglected homes that no one wants to invest in, pulling neighboring property values down.  Funny how that works.

For specific details visit the HUD Site

Let's get this economy rolling again.  Hopefully bad lenders have gone by the wayside by now (survival of the fittest) and this waiver can become permanent at the end of it's lifespan.

Ha!  Karen, I'm with you.  You have to have a high threshold for pain, but for those that know what they're doing, why not?

Hi Charles,

I try, but it seems difficult to stay on top of everything.   I have actually been crazy busy these past two years.  Sometimes I have to sell a home two or three times, but we get 'em done.  It's a lot more work than it used to be, that's for certain, but in some ways more rewarding when you make a difference in someone's life.  

 

How about you?  How's your market faring?  Staying dry down there??
