FHA Mortgagee Letter 2009-07 lays out the new FHA loan limits which were put into place by the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act of 2009.
As a loan officer, I first began using seller paid down payment assistance programs with my customers almost as soon as the program was available in my area. I remember very clearly the feeling I had at the time that the programs could not last long before HUD put a stop to them. I told every customer I prequalified for the first couple of years that they better hurry up and find a home because their down payment program couldn’t possibly last very long.
Originating FHA insured mortgages has long been one of the most effective ways for professional loan officers to make a good living without sacrificing the well being of their customers. Low rates, no prepayment penalties, no rates that jump up 5% after 2 years, no negative amortization. A true opportunity, if you knew what you were doing, to combine helping people who really do need the help with making a good living.
Every single day I receive numerous emails and phone calls from loan originators and potential borrowers asking whether FHA guidelines have changed and asking me why a particular loan scenario can no longer be approved as an FHA loan. Consumers, in particular often get confused when I explain that FHA guidelines are not the issue. The problem is with the lender they or their mortgage broker have chosen.
