New FHA Changes for 2010

Lenders continue to restrict guidelines for loans, and FHA has published some new changes that should take effect this Spring and Summer. The specific changes are noted here:

If you plan on buying or refinancing this year, it is a good idea to go ahead and talk to a lender so you know what to expect, because it will be different form the last time you bought a property. Also, it is a good idea to keep an open dialouge with that lender - say, if you want to buy in 6 months, my recommendation would be to make it a point to speak monthly because guidelines are changing frequently these days and you don't want to be surprised, you want be prepared, once you find the perfect property.
