Yes, it would be, wouldn't it? The trouble with so many services and businesses today is that they really don't seem to be concerned with your individual needs. From impersonal service to less than high quality workmanship, many businesses just don't seem to care. Worse than that are the less than honest businesses that prey upon clients' lack of knowledge and use high pressure sales tactics to get people to spend more than their "too-good-to-be-true" advertisements offered.Well, I'm here to offer you an alternative to shod...

Having endured major wildfires the past four years that affected a huge amount of acreage and at least 140 homes and other structures, the City of Poway in San Diego County, has adopted some strict new guidelines in hopes of minimizing any future wildfire damage in the community of Poway. Many of Poway's homes are adjacent to open spaces and the City of Poway  is imposing, effective September 19, 2008 new clearance guidelines to help mitigate any future fire loss. The soon-to-be enforced guidelines include clearing 100 feet of space around the residence or other structures of flammable chaparral fuels. The creation of the 'defense of space' program throughout the community of Poway is an important part of the fire loss reduction strategy as reported by the Poway Fire Department. The onl...

Unapproved FHA brokers will no longer be able to collect 25% of the commision on FHA Reverse mortgages. HUD will be issuing a Mortgagee Letter within the next 30 days eliminating any so-called "HECM Advisor" programs. Because the law requires that, "All parties that participate in the origination of a mortgage to be insured under this section shall be approved by the Secretary," once the forthcoming M.L. is issued and takes effect, only employees of FHA-approved lenders and correspondents will be permitted to participate in the origination of HECMs. See all the changes to the FHA Reverse Mortgage (HECM): http://www.themtgmentor.com/End_HECM_Advisor_Program.html Market and Lending Updates: http://www.YourFhaGuru.com

Borrowers should never go first when a lender tells them "show me yours and I'll show you mine". A flyer came in the mail the other day; gray, semi-official looking, undated.  It was from the "Negotiation Center" claiming that I might be able to negotiate a 30 year fixed rate loan for 5.875% (5.923% APR).  Because the letter undated I guess, the rates were always good.  Well... maybe not because a pretty good wholesale rate today (08/11/08) is 6.375% at par and the advertised APR did not allow for even one discount point. I had to check this out.  After I dialed the 800 number and I was eventually hooked up to a woman with an Irish brogue who called herself Paddy Kelly, Really!  When I asked about the 5.875% rate Paddy explained that it was indeed available but she needed my application...

The FHA 203(k) is a great tool for purchasers of trashed REOs or even buyers who wish to remodel the kitchen in their new home.  The 203(k) loan provides one home loan for buyers to purchase and rehabilitate.  It is also a great tool for Realtors to create a marketing niche.

Based on calls I receive there is still a lot of confusion about FHA loan commissions. Since the recent resurrection of FHA loans there is much misinformation published on who can receive a loan commission.  I am sure you have received emails claiming that FHA approval is not required to originate FHA loans.  The bare bones truth of the matter is: No one can represent the buyer or seller as their real estate agent and receive a commission on an FHA loan. In order to receive commissions on FHA loans the loan officer must be a W2 employee of the lender and cannot have any other real estate or mortgage affiliation. While there is much information to the contrary, HUD has recently published a bulletin that clearly states what is and what ain't:  Mortgagee Letter 2008-17 Excerpt from the Hu...

Last Thursday night, Congress introduced bipartisan legislation, H.R. 6694 that would reauthorize and reform charitable downpayment assistance. This bill would remedy a harmful provision in the new housing law which limits homeownership opportunities for low and middle-income Americans. The legislation, sponsored by U.S. Reps. Al Green (D-TX), Gary Miller (R-CA), Maxine Waters (D-CA), and Christopher Shays (R-CT) reauthorizes and reforms charitable downpayment assistance funded in part by sellers, which has helped over one million families and individuals become homeowners since 1999. The program was eliminated by legislation signed by President Bush on July 30, 2008. The Green-Miller-Waters-Shays plan would re-authorize and reform non-profit downpayment assistance and secure it as an a...
