Lending is a business of risk.

This will slow down the refi market as it is not good news for many of those contemplating a refi.

By the way, Caroline Gerardo, your link did not work.

The link is not working but I was able to read about it thanks to John Juarez posting an alternate. This is utterly ridiculous and wrong on so many levels. It reminds of the notices we get for HO and flood insurance about an "across the board increase" which I consider total b___ s___. Whatever happened to risk based lending and insurance. Don't get me started...

Wow, so whether they refi and stay in their FHA or refi-out there's a fee?

Robbery both ways, they already stick it to them with permanent PMI.

well link is not working but I cannot see charging anymore across the board. Why do people think the FHA well is dry? It's supposedly fine the way it is. They are probably expecting more defaults because of the pandemic.

Total extortion and money-grab from our "partners" at the FHFA. Mark Calabria has repeatedly proven he is no supporter of the real estate or mortgage industries. He needs to go.

I actually think it's fine.  Because it will help when all the REO properties hit 12 months from now.  And for people being forced to close their business, there will be foreclosures.   I believe it will happen in urban areas, no everywhere.
