 <title>Increases to FHA Loan Amounts</title>
 <link>http://www.realblogging.com/mary-supingers-credit-mortgage-blog/increases-fha-loan-amounts</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;As promised, and actually required, by the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Economic_Stimulus_Bill_of_2008&quot;&gt;Economic Stimulus Bill of 2008&lt;/a&gt;, FHA/HUD announced their new loan amounts this past week. The new &lt;a href=&quot;https://entp.hud.gov/idapp/html/hicostlook.cfm&quot;&gt;FHA loan limits&lt;/a&gt; are based on 125% increases of each county&#039;s median price with a minmum of $271,050 and a maximum of $729,750.&lt;img src=&quot;/sites/all/modules/tinymce/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/themes/advanced/images/spacer.gif&quot; alt=&quot;&amp;lt;--break-&amp;gt;&quot; title=&quot;&amp;lt;--break--&amp;gt;&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; /&gt;This one move will make it much easier for many who are burdened with an adjustable rate mortgage to refinance if their property has not appreciate much over the past few years.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;og_rss_groups&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/marysupinger&quot; class=&quot;links og_links&quot;&gt;Mary Supinger&amp;#039;s Credit &amp;amp; Mortgage Blog&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.realblogging.com/mary-supingers-credit-mortgage-blog/increases-fha-loan-amounts&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <title>FHA LOAN LIMITS TO BE RAISED TO $417,000</title>
 <link>http://www.realblogging.com/mary-supingers-credit-mortgage-blog/fha-loan-limits-be-raised-417-000</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;On Friday, December 17, 2007, the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.senate.gov/index.htm&quot;&gt;Senate&lt;/a&gt; passed a bill (93-1) to increase the maximum &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.hud.gov/homes/index.cfm&quot;&gt;FHA&lt;/a&gt; loan amount to $417,000 for a single family residence. The current limit is $362,000.&lt;img src=&quot;/sites/all/modules/tinymce/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/themes/advanced/images/spacer.gif&quot; alt=&quot;&amp;lt;--break-&amp;gt;&quot; title=&quot;&amp;lt;--break--&amp;gt;&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This loan amount matches the current conforming loan amount for conventional loans.&amp;nbsp; This will give some homeowners struggling with a decline in value the opportunity to refinance their current loans into a more stable &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.hud.gov/homes/index.cfm&quot;&gt;FHA loan&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Tax Relief for Homeowners in Foreclosure</title>
 <link>http://www.realblogging.com/tax-relief-homeowners-foreclosure</link>
 <description>Homeowners facing foreclosure and any shortfall of funds due to their lender were subject to tax by the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.irs.gov/individuals/index.html&quot; title=&quot;IRS&quot;&gt;Internal Revenue Service.&lt;/a&gt; A person could lose their home in foreclosure and the lender could suffer of loss of say, $100,000. According to a tax law enacted in 1986, the lender was required to mail a 1099 to that ex-homeowner for the dollar amount of loss suffered by the lender.&lt;div class=&quot;og_rss_groups&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/marysupinger&quot; class=&quot;links og_links&quot;&gt;Mary Supinger&amp;#039;s Credit &amp;amp; Mortgage Blog&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.realblogging.com/tax-relief-homeowners-foreclosure&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <title>Southern California Wild Fires</title>
 <link>http://www.realblogging.com/mary-supingers-credit-mortgage-blog/southern-california-wild-fires</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
San Diego has been a very exciting and sometimes dangerous place to be in the past four days. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
There is smoke and ash in the air, but this is overshadowed by people in San Diego so willing to comfort or thank anyone who crossed their paths. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
I am very fortunate that I am not in an evacuation area, but am deeply concerned for my beautiful daughter, my brother, sister, and many friends and clients as well as my &amp;quot;mortgage family&amp;quot; at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gmloan.net/&quot;&gt;General Mortgage&lt;/a&gt; in &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/northcounty/20071022-0522-bn22fire.html&quot;&gt;Rancho Bernardo&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;div class=&quot;og_rss_groups&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/marysupinger&quot; class=&quot;links og_links&quot;&gt;Mary Supinger&amp;#039;s Credit &amp;amp; Mortgage Blog&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.realblogging.com/mary-supingers-credit-mortgage-blog/southern-california-wild-fires&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <title>Underwriting &amp; Elements of a Home Loan: Part Six</title>

 <description>&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
There are difference aspects of the financial picture that are common in what makes a good mortgage loan. All of these elements have a degree of risk to the lender. Mortgage companies judge these risks and assign a credit grade to them. The higher the risk to the lender results in a higher rate to the borrower. 
&lt;/p&gt;
  
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
We will review the lenders’ point of view on the property itself: 
&lt;/p&gt;
  
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;The title to the property must qualify for the loan.&lt;/b&gt; 
&lt;/p&gt;
  
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
One of the largest costs when you buy or refinance a home is the title insurance premium. It is one cost that you won’t ever want to do away with because there are so many ways that title can become “clouded”.&lt;div class=&quot;og_rss_groups&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/marysupinger&quot; class=&quot;links og_links&quot;&gt;Mary Supinger&amp;#039;s Credit &amp;amp; Mortgage Blog&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.realblogging.com/mary-supingers-credit-mortgage-blog/underwriting-elements-home-loan-part-six&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Mortgage companies judge these risks and assign a credit grade to them. The higher the risk to the lender results in a higher rate to the borrower.

We will review the lenders’ point of view on borrower assets: 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;What assets does the borrower have? Where did they come from?&lt;/b&gt; 
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Just about every single lender will want to see that they borrower has “reserves”. Reserves are additional funds, which can be verified prior to closing.&lt;div class=&quot;og_rss_groups&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/marysupinger&quot; class=&quot;links og_links&quot;&gt;Mary Supinger&amp;#039;s Credit &amp;amp; Mortgage Blog&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.realblogging.com/mary-supingers-credit-mortgage-blog/underwriting-elements-home-loan-part-five&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

The discussion below is for mortgage loans that are of the plain, vanilla variety; that type of loan that doesn’t have any special characteristics.

We will review those risks associated with how lenders view income now:&lt;div class=&quot;og_rss_groups&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/marysupinger&quot; class=&quot;links og_links&quot;&gt;Mary Supinger&amp;#039;s Credit &amp;amp; Mortgage Blog&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.realblogging.com/underwriting-elements-home-loan-part-four&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
