Alert Loan Mod Scams are popping up more and more these days and some are even trapping REALTORS & victimizing some for the second time. If you're facing foreclosure, check out your options first. Find out if there is an upfront fee for the loan modification if there is, be cautious, also get a good faith estimate of you monthly payment. How long the new monthly payments will last and if there are and rerating or change of the any of the loan terms sometime in the future.

Another options is selling short also known as a pre-foreclosure sale, a short sale expert can guide you through the process at no cost to you. Janet O'Brian is a certified Short Sales Specialist and does all the negotiating with your bank and doesn't farm out your personal information to a third party. Janet's approach keeps her in the loop with the bank and gives you peace of mind that she is fighting for you and has all the information at her fingertips.

Changes to FHA loans are headed our way this summer. The up front mortgage insurance premium (Financed back into the loan) will be changing from the current 1.75% to 2.25%.

There is also a change to the seller credit for FHA loans, currently we are sitting at 6% in allowable seller credit toward recurring and non recurring closing cost, the new guidelines will limit seller participation to 3%.

There are also rumors of the monthly mortgage insurance increasing as well, this is part of the homebuyers total payment, so this change would make the monthly payment increase for thoose seeking FHA financing....

Why are we seeing these changes? FHA portfolio is growing too quickly and their available cash reserves are shinking very fast. In efforts to stay in business they need to drastically reduce their exposure to higher risk buyers and increase their portfolio with safer, stronger buyers. All the more reason to take advantage of the current guidelines while you still can.
