FHA Collections Policy Changes Delayed

By
Mortgage and Lending with Bay Equity, LLC 770-634-4021 NMLS #206275 GA 25689

This spring there will be many changes affecting the FHA mortgage program.  As of April 9, 2012, the Upfront MIP will increase to 1.75% for loans with a 3.5% down payment; and 1.2% for loans with a 5% down payment.  The maximum loan amount is still determined by county statistics.  You can check for the limit for your county by going to the HUD website County Loan Amounts.HUD Logo

 

Good news for home buyers that have not made their purchase if they have a collection on their credit report.  There was to be a significant change in policy regarding outstanding collections including medical bills.  These changes will now go into effect in July.  If this applies to you, talk with your mortgage professional on how this will impact your ability to purchase a home using an FHA mortgage.

Kathy - thanks for the update and information regarding FHA. Seems like they can never bring it in on time though.

Toni, you are right, it does seem that these do hit delays on a regular basis.  The change in the collection policy is really going to prevent some for qualifying.
