A reverse mortgage is exactly what it sounds like — a mortgage in reverse. Here’s some analysis on the program and how it could work for you.
Despite an improving U.S. economy, the nation’s banks remain cautious about what they will lend, and to whom.
Planning to use an FHA-backed mortgage for your next home loan? You might want to get your application in gear today.
The new, revamped HARP program is now available. It was officially released Saturday, March 17, 2012 by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Beginning mid-June 2012, certain current, FHA-backed homeowners will be able to refinance their existing FHA mortgage into a new one, without having to pay the government-backed group’s new, costly mortgage insurance premium schedule.
Beginning April 1, 2012, the FHA is once again raising its mortgage insurance premiums.
The government’s new, revamped HARP program is 6 weeks from release. Homeowners are gearing up to refinance.
After a half-decade of tightening mortgage guidelines, banks are starting to “loosen up”.
In 2012, for the 7th straight year, the national, single-family conforming mortgage loan limit will remain at $417,000.
As signed into law last Friday, maximum FHA loan limits are — once again — as high as $729,750.
