There’s a New Rule from Fannie Mae called the Loan Quality Initiative

This afternoon, I got this email from a mortgage friend of mine and asked permission to share this with you, she gave me permission. At the bottom, I included her name in case you want to talk to her more about this new rule….

This is really BIG news!

It’s a new rule from Fannie Mae called the Loan Quality Initiative (LQI).

What it really means is that in addition to “underwriting conditions” that may     be required from the underwriter to close the loan, the loan must now be “audited” by a quality control person to double-check the underwriter.  Yeah, the loan will be underwritten twice—and not at the same time either!

Here are some of the things they’ll be checking for:

Borrower Identify               Income Calculations            Employment

Source of Assets                Appraisal Review                MI Coverage

While this does not go into effect until July 1, 2010, here’s what to expect:

§         Loan will be underwritten 2 different times

§         Two sets of underwriting/closing conditions

§         New credit report prior to closing

The bottom line:  Be calm—it’s a federal rule and there is nothing you or I can do about it.  More importantly, warn your clients (and I will, too) of the potential that they may be required to submit more documents, right up until minutes before closing.

Let me help your clients get through this maze of loan requirements with ease.

I’m always a phone call or email away.

Birmingham AL Mortgage Tax Credit Dates Extended for Veterans

Active-veterans who serve on an official, extended duty service outside of the United States for at least 91 days during the period of January 1, 2009 through April 30, 2010 will be granted a 1-year extension on the home buyer tax credit.  In other words, any active veterans who served overseas for over 90 days between the the aforementioned dates can qualify for the same Birmingham home buyer tax credit if they are in contract to purchase by April 30th, 2011 and complete the transaction by June 30th, 2011.

Who qualifies?

• Member of “uniformed” services
• Member of Foreign Service of the U.S.
• Employee of Intelligence Community
• Extended Duty “outside” the United States for at least 91 days during the period from 1/01/09 to 4/30/10
• Extended Duty “inside” the United States for at least 91 days and had to relocate at least 50 miles
• Spouse of any of the above

Any veteran, with the above qualifications, who’s thinking of buying a new home will be happy to know they have an extra year to find a new Birmingham home.

This was shared with me this week from a local mortgage lender.

Please verify all information with the appropriate sources if trying to get the tax credit for Veterans.

Birmingham AL Homes for Sale – What You Get For The Money Priced About $250,000

Birmingham, Alabama – I happened to be watching TV the other night and caught a few minutes of a show, What You Get For The Money, on HGTV. It got my attention for a little while and got me thinking about what you can get for the money when it comes to Birmingham AL Homes for Sale in some of the different areas around town.

So, I am going to start this series on Birmingham AL Homes priced around $250,000 as of May, 2010. I hope to also spotlight other price ranges as well.

What I have done is go into the Birmingham MLS and do a search on homes priced from 245,000-255,000 and selected ten homes which met that criteria. I did just select Single Family homes and excluded townhomes and condos.  I made a pdf of the ten homes and am including the links below. Hopefully in time I will be able to include an active link that can be searched, but for now, this is what we will do.

Mountain Brook

There were none currently in that price range. So I just pulled homes that were the closest both above and below 250,000. Most of Mountain Brook is above 250,000. These are actually some of the lowest priced Mountain Brook Real Estate.

You can see all these Mountain Brook homes for sale here: Mountain Brook $250,000

Vestavia

Most of these are 3 bedroom 2 bath homes. It is in not common to find larger Vestavia Homes for Sale in this price range. I actually expected to have to expand my parameters in Vestavia to find ten homes.

Homewood

Like Vestavia, I did not expect to find many Homewood AL Homes in this price range of any size. Most of these are 2 and 3 bedroom homes. However, I would expect that they have had some updates. While Homewood does have some larger homes, a good bit of Homewood is characterized as older homes that have been somewhat updated.

Hoover

Unlike the three aforementioned areas, I did expect to find a wider variety and some larger homes in the price range of these Hoover AL Homes for Sale, and I did. More than 2o homes came up in the price range I was using so I did have the opportunity to select 10 homes.  You can expect to find some larger homes, some maybe with some finer touches here than in the previous 3 areas in this price range.

You can see the Hoover AL Homes for Sale here: Hoover $250,000

Trussville

Not unlike Hoover, I expected and found the same results. These Trussville Homes for Sale have between 3 and 5 bedrooms and may even have some larger lots. Like Hoover, you can expect to find some larger homes, some maybe with some finer touches here than in the previous 3 areas in this price range.
