George:
It seems that everyone has the Henny Penny syndrome where everyone thinks the sky is falling. Here in California the FHA new limits are being touted as being a rainmaker to help turn our market around. As yet we have not been told what the new limits will actually be. For California if the new limit is only going to be $500,000 it will not make to much of a difference. If it will go up to the $729,000 yes I can see it changing the present real estate landscape.
Two lender told me yesterday that they are not sure when the new product will be available. Some are saying by May just in time for the tax refund.
Brian,
100% true about personal responsibility, and Information. I think if we can fast forward and then look back we will see that those of us who provided greater information will have happier clients!
Brian,
I couldn't agree more. I get more and more requests for FHA appraisals now. I believe <some> subprime lenders are scraping the barrel to get loans done and FHA is attractive...
George,
Keep up the good fight......I am one that believe's that there are far more good then bad in the industry....that the lenders (who were by far the main reason this all happened, yet they are not taking the main blame) have had there hat handed to them now and should take steps to not let happen again and lastly, FHA is a great product for those who truly need the product, that who believe that homeownership is the holy grail, not just an investment and if I lose I lose.
Dan,
Thanks for the vote of confidence... I think FHA is the best product out on the street. I guess it just frosts me to see folks abuse the system.
thanks
