FHA condo changes

If you didn’t get the word already, FHA Spot condo approvals have been eliminated as of 10/1/09. We can submit for project approval via our sponsors, but I am sure it will be a very tough process, as the Lenders are now responsible for issuing the FHA project approval not HUD.

Per Mortgagee Ltr 2009-19, this is part of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act, HERA and HUD will continue to maintain a list of approved condo projects.

FHA to FHA streamlines do not require project approval.

FHA REO’s don’t require project approval.

Project approvals are good for 2 years, after 2 years they will require a re-certification to determine they still meet FHA criteria. This also applies to all projects currently on the list of approved condos.

Loan Registrations

Just a reminder that ALL loans must now be registered online at www.TheMortgageIsRight.com/LoanRegistration.
You may also log onto the Support Page at www.TheMortgageIsRight.com/Support and select the link for the Loan Registration page.
It takes less than a minute to register a loan on the Registration Page and I believe you will find it a convenience as opposed to the form we were previously using.
The old form has been removed from the website and will no longer be accepted. Thank you for your attention to this message.

FHA allowable cost REVISED

FHA loans restrict the fees payable by the borrower to a combined Broker Fee and Origination Fee to 1% of the loan, which also MUST include the Third Party Processing Fee. The borrower may not pay any fees other than a ‘Broker Fee” and an ‘Origination Fee’ and their combined amount may not exceed 1% of the loan amount. Therefore, any and ALL broker/origination fees charged to and paid by the borrower in excess of a total of 1% on an FHA loan will be refunded to the borrower. This includes FHA Refinance transactions in addition to purchase transactions. The fee of 1% may be exceeded only if the GFE, the purchase contract, and the settlement statement identify broker fees in excess of 1% as having been paid by a party other than the buyer, i.e. the seller. The third party processing fee may be itemized as payable to the third party only under the same circumstances (i.e. paid by the seller). Otherwise, the processing fee must not be itemized separately and must be included in the total 1% charged to the borrower. If the contract processing fee is not paid by a party other than the buyer, Innovative will deduct the fee from the Originator’s total commission and pay it directly to the contract processor.
