california: Fannie & Freddie Bailout helps FHA Borrowers too
- 09/08/08 05:22 PM
This weekends blockbuster government takeover of Government Sponsored Mortgage Giants Fannie Mae (FNMA) and Freddie Mac (FHLMC) has created a welcome stability and confidence in both the mortgage market and the money markets as a whole. These entities are too large, effect too many individuals, and would create too much havoc if crippled for the US government to let them fail. I am not a personal fan of more government, but in this case, hoorah. It is necessary for the stability of many levels of our economy.

california: Please don't fear the Rehab project
- 08/10/08 06:19 PM
This post isn't talking about some hollywood celebrity fearing another stay at the Betty Ford Clinic, rather it is regarding Realtors & HomeBuyers fearing the Rehab Property and the Rehab loan.Many Realtors & Homebuyers are discouraged when they see a bank-owned REO or Bank Repo that is in exceptionally Poor Condition. Dirty, filthy carpets, dire need of fresh paint, needs new appliances, and otherwise simple repairs, but they all cost money. The problem is that the house just doesn't show well. It leaves a bad taste in your mouth just looking at it. But for those with a little design vision … (0 comments)

california: HUD changes allow home buyers to use FHA loans to Buy REO's/Bank Owned Homes
- 07/01/08 05:07 PM
HUD has recently made changes allowing homeowners to qualify for FHA loans when buying homes that have been foreclosed, returned to lender (deed in lieu of foreclosure), AKA REO properties. REO stands for Real Estate Owned, which are essentially Bank Owned Repos. Outdated regulations from HUD to prohibit property flipping and false price appreciation made it difficult for banks to sell recently foreclosed properties due to a HUD rule which prohibited the use of a FHA loan to purchase a home that had not been owned by the seller for atleast 90 days. This has now been lifted until June 2009. … (0 comments)
california: Fannie Mae's turnabout on Declining markets. Will it really help?
- 05/18/08 05:03 PM
Fannie Mae announced that they will no longer require an extra 5% down payment for purchases in "Declining Markets" beginning June 1. The real question is will this change help. The answer is Yes for some borrowers, and not at all for others. There are 2 factors above and beyond Fannie Mae's basic guidance that will continue to hinder homebuyers looking to put less money down. Mortgage Insurers have increased minimum Fico requirements for all loans, especially those over 90% loan to value. Please note that FHA loans do not have Fico minimums at this point. The other factor effecting the … (0 comments)
