FHA dropped the mortgage insurance premium on FHA loans. Also, homeowners can benefit from mortgage debt cancellation relief in the 2017 tax year if the lender signed an agreement in 2016 to write down part of the mortgage in 2017. Other segments look at working with customers who have a criminal record, how to use social media without turning off followers, and what’s ahead for sales this year. An excerpt from a recent Real Estate Today radio show gives consumers a tip for saving for a downpayment.
In The following video NAR President Chris Polychron gives four reasons the new FHA policies are good for consumers and thanks Keith Lynam from the Las Vegas Association of REALTORS® for his opinion-editorial supporting FHA.
Aimed at real estate agents, lenders, asset managers and government agencies join Government Home Sale Professional™ Founders Frances Flynn Thorsen and Denise Lones who will introduce the summit agenda, speakers, and sponsors starting at 7am today.
What is a “HUD home”? HUD is actually an acronym for United States Department of Housing and Urban Development. When a residence is backed by a Federal Housing Administration (FHA)-insured mortgage ends in foreclosure, HUD acquires the home and takes on the role of property owner. The organization then puts the property up for sale in an attempt to recover losses incurred via the foreclosure claim.
