fha: MAJOR ANNOUCEMENT: Conventional loans now need 7yrs from a Finished Foreclosure to get Approved - 01/11/12 07:37 AM
In a recent move, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac changed their guidelines in regards to foreclosure history.  Now on all conventional loans no matter the loan to value or down payment amount, the borrower must be 7 years removed from a foreclosure.  This changed from the 4yrs that were needed based on a 20% down payment and longer time periods needed for lower down payments.  This does not affect FHA loans, luckily.  As they only require 3yrs removed from a foreclosure. 
Keep in mind this can affect clients who had a short sale transaction in their past.  As many short … (0 comments)

fha: HomePath Mortgage vs FHA Loan- Which is best for you? - 01/03/12 08:20 AM
 
Often I am asked which is a better loan for a homebuyer, A HomePath Mortgage or a FHA Loan?  It is actually not a clean cut answer for everyone.  So I wanted to take the time to go over the benefits of each.  And what you need to think about when making a decision between a HomePath or FHA mortgage.  Keep in mind this is only in regards to buying a Fannie Mae Foreclosure.

The HomePath Mortgage Program is a GREAT program if you are looking to only purchase a  Fannie Mae foreclosure.  The benefits are:

fha: Property Condition Grading Has Changed on all Appraisals. Know your C’s!!!!! - 12/21/11 09:56 AM
Recently the condition assessment on appraisals has changed.  Before the condition options were Excellent, good, poor, etc.  That has now changed, they are now rated with letter “C” and a number 1 thru 6.  It is important to know these ratings or grades and how it can affect your client.  Here is the short explanation of each grade:
 
·         C-1  This is a brand new constructed home that has not been lived in
·         C-2   This home has no physical depreciation, deferred maintenance or needed repairs.  And all work has been done recently and is similar to that of a … (18 comments)

fha: Conventional Loans with NO Mortgage Insurance. A Great Mortgage Option to Know! - 12/03/11 11:14 AM
Many times, Mortgage Insurance can be a necessary evil.  You will have mortgage insurance if you get a conventional loan and are putting less than 20% down payment.  And also if you go with a  FHA loan.  But, there is actually another option.  And it is the No Mortgage Insurance loan, otherwise known as Lender Paid Mortgage Insurance(LPMI).  To off set the lack of mortgage insurance the lender increases the rate(usually around .25% higher).  This program is based on guidelines of a regular conventional loan.  So you will need higher credit scores(680+). 
There are many benefits to this program, here … (4 comments)
