FHA Reform Bill is at hand

By

Looks like congress has a bill in place to increase the loan limits for FHA.  These were included in the 
Economic Stimulus package are set to expire at the end of the year. NAR supports an FHA Reform Bill that includes realistic and permanent increases in the loan limits.

I for one didn't know there was a time frame on this increase.  I am glad NAR is out there helping.  I am going to to let my Congress Folks know how I feel.

Click here to take action.

Let me know what you think.

I think it's absurd to place a time limit on the increase. It's an increase that was needed all along...

HI Jeff,  I heard a comment on CNN late last night that struck home on so many faucets..  SINCE CONGRESS COULD AND DID FIX THE BEAR-STERNS MESS OVERNIGHT WHY IS IT TAKING MONTHS TO FIX FHA AND GET OUT THE STIMULAS CHECKS?  my thoughts are WHO DOES CONGRESS WORK FOR?

Gail So true.  Not sure who they work for.  The government seems to get shadier by the year.

Sad that Americans let it happen.  Before they know it, it will be too far gone.

Sad.

I think the loan limit increases would be a great benefit, especially for first time homeowners.  I will go to the site and put my two cents in.

Personally, I feel that I was just kicked in the face when I heard that $20 Billion in tax payer backed funds were used to bail-out Bear Stearns,  a Wall Street Investment Banker.  Surely this money could have been better spent if it had gone to pay the refinance fees to get everyone with an ARM, no matter what their current credit rating or how far they may be behind in their current ARM mortgage payment, out of their ARM and into a 30 year, FHA fixed rate mortgage!
