Tighter Loan Requirements from FHA

Posted in Mortgage Info by Karen Rhodes on January 21st, 2010

FHA has now announced more tightening of underwriting guidelines.

  • Up front mortgage insurance premium increased to 2.25
  • 10% down payment for buyers with a FICO of less than 580.
  • Seller concessions reduced from 6% to 3%

No specific date on when these changes go into effect, just sometime in the spring.  Stay tuned!
