First Time Home Buyers

I am getting the mortgage paperwork ready for some first-time homebuyers that are coming into the office Saturday - Customer Convenience is the name of the game !

To receive the first-time home buyers credit, buyers have to have the purchase agreement signed by April 30, 2010 and the transaction needs to close by June 30,2010 ---THE RUSH IS ON -- 3 MONTHS IS NOT THAT FAR DOWN THE ROAD !!!

LACK OF ENFORCEMENT IS THE REAL CAUSE

We are told and shown again and again that the lack of enforcement is the real cause of the "mess" we are in and throwing more regulations which end up ultimately costing the customer more is really not the answer!

FED: Rates to Stay Low !!

The federal reserve met today and choose to keep the Fed Funds rate at or near zero .......at least for the the near future.

My blog yesterday was supposed to say "Rates Stay Low Until 2011, not 2001" typo.

FHA is on the road to tightening up !!

I hate to think where we are headed in the Real Estate Market if FHA raises the down payment required on an FHA mortgage? The other option I have heard to help raise the reserves fund for FHA, which remains dangerously low, is to consider raising the UFMIP and Monthly factors. This would be much more "gentle" as this would slightly raise overall mortgage payment to the borrower without removing the purchase option altogether which is what I'm afraid an increase in down pmt would do.
