Friday President Barack Obama signed a bill that reinstates the recently expired higher loan limits that were in effect for FHA and VA loans through December 31, 2013 but does not provide this extension to Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.
According to the article on Mortgage News Daily, “The new legislation also sets an annual fee for loans guaranteed by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. This fee is in the amount of 15 basis points on the outstanding principal balance of the loan and is “independent of any guarantee fees upfront on ongoing, charged to the borrower, and the premium loan fee shall not be affected by changes in guarantee fees.” The fee, according to the bill, is expected to achieve an annual income of $300 million in revenue which “shall be used to pay for costs associated with maintaining loan limits established under this section. “

The House of Representatives today voted to restore higher loan limits to $729,750!! This is great news considering that the high limits returned to $625,500 in October.
Here is a brief excerpt of an article published today at Bloomberg.com: “For all of the objections from Republican lawmakers and interest groups, the measure survived congressional negotiations on the strength of last month’s Senate vote in favor of an amendment to boost limits for FHA loans and those purchased by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The increase for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loans was dropped during the talks, and today’s vote leaves the FHA increase needing only a Senate vote and President Barack Obama’s signature to become law.
Lawmakers who back higher limits say withdrawing federal support could undermine a housing market that has struggled to recover from the 2008 credit crisis. The limits automatically returned to $625,500 in October, spurring lawmakers and housing lobbyists to press for a return to the higher level.”

In San Francisco, Oakland, and Alameda, we are getting more and more requests for 203K Financing which is very exciting. This is the best product in the real estate finance industry hands down! It may not make you the most money, purchase prices can be on the low end. It definitely isn’t the easiest loan out there but there is no such thing as an easy loan anymore . And yes, there is more paperwork in a 203K.
That being said the 203K is the only loan that appreciates months after funding. There are a lot of things put into place to cut values in recent years, expiring high balance loan limits, HVCC, risk based pricing by GSE’s the list goes on….
The 203K takes a property unfundable by conventional means and makes it appreciate within months!
