FHA WAIVES 90-DAY ANTI-FLIPPING RULE

By
Real Estate Agent with Liberty Investment Group


In an effort to facilitate the sale of bank-owned properties, the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) has temporarily suspended its 90 day rule against flipping properties. Under the anti flipping rule, the FHA will not insure a mortgage loan if the sales contract is executed within 90 days of the seller's acquisition of the property. Effective June 9, 2008, the anti flipping rule has now been waived for one year for properties acquired by lenders, their subsidiaries, and their outside vendors.

I was all excited until I saw it only applied to lenders, their subsidiaries, and thier outside vendors. I was hoping to give some of my new investors another opportunity.
