FHA-backed mortgages will be halted in a shutdown | Money – WYFF Home

FHA-backed mortgages will be halted in a shutdown | Money – WYFF Home.

 

The good news is that most government-backed home loans – those purchased and securitized by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac – will be unaffected by a shutdown. Those companies pay for their operations out of the fees that they charge lenders.

The bad news is that loans guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration, the Veteran’s Administration and the rural development loans of the United States Department of Agriculture, won’t be processed. If an application for an FHA-insured loan has not been approved by the time of the shutdown, it will have to wait until after the shutdown ends.

FHA-backed loans accounted for 45% of all mortgages used to purchase homes issued in 2012, according to the Federal Reserve. The FHA alone insures about 60,000 loans a month.

rule change is allowing certain borrowers who have gone through a foreclosure, bankruptcy or other adverse event to become eligible to receive a new mortgage backed by the Federal Housing Administration after waiting as little as one year. Previously, they had to wait at least three years before they could qualify for a new government-backed loan. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which guarantee conventional loans. require borrowers to wait seven years after a foreclosure unless there are extenuating circumstances, in which case the wait is three years.



 to be eligible for the new FHA loans, borrowers must be able to show their household income fell by 20 percent or more for at least six months and was  tied to unemployment or another event beyond their control. And they must prove their incomes have had a “full recovery; prove they have had at least one hour of approved housing counseling and have had 12 months of on-time housing payments.
