What are our leaders thinking? (Or are they thinking?)

Since last October, we have seen FHA increase the mortgage insurance premiums twice (Yes, April 18th they are going up again to 1.15%). Fannie Mae started charging all kinds of extra fees for low credit scores (if you think a 800 score is low) and high loan to values and now we see two new trial balloons floating out there. They are talking about eliminating the mortgage deduction and raising the minimum down payment for a conventional mortgage to 10%.

Now I think all would agree that housing needs to return to some semblance of normalcy for the U.S. economy to start creating jobs in quantities needed to get back close to full employment. Lost in these changes is the fact that loans for the last couple of years have been performing well. Also I have learned that the VA model (that is 100% loans) has also performed much better than expected.

So why can’t the people responsible for these types of policy changes do their homework and do the right things?

As for me and MIG, we have been doing well. That is mostly because of a great client base, longevity and the knowledge needed to survive in this market. Many others are not so lucky.

Have you ever thought about including a little
bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is fundamental and everything.
But think of if you added some great pictures or video clips to give
your posts more, "pop"! Your content is excellent but with images and video clips, this website could definitely be one of the greatest in its niche.
Terrific blog!
