FHA Underwriting Loosens for Some & Tightens for Others

Your Guy for That Friday, April 6th, 2012 No Comments

FHA has made the following underwriting changes below (some good, some bad) effective this week:

For self-employed borrowers, a year-to-date Profit & Loss Statement (P&L) and Balance Sheet are required if three months have elapsed since date of most recent filed and submitted tax returns. In addition, if income from the P&L is being used to increase the amount of qualifying income for the borrower, then the P&L must be audited by a CPA. These are much stricter requirements for self-employed borrowers.
“Disputed” items showing on a borrower’s credit report will not be as much of an issue as in the past and don’t have to be addressed if they are less than $1000 and more than two years old.
Collections showing on a borrower’s credit report also won’t be too much of an … Continue Reading FHA Underwriting Loosens for Some & Tightens for Others

East Point Highlighted in Creative Loafing’s Neighborhood Guide

Your Guy for That Monday, April 2nd, 2012 No Comments

Yet another sign of East Point’s resurgence as Creative Loafing writes a very positive review as to what makes East Point great. This year East Point & College Park were grouped together, last year only College Park was featured so this is a step up for struggling East Point.
The article promotes East Point as having a great location on MARTA near the airport and as a “bedroom community with a small-town feel.” Best of all, the article accurately describes East Point as “a new generation of single professionals, working couples, and young families committed to bonding together by preserving their tree-lined streets, embracing diversity, fighting crime, maintaining their properties until the housing market improves, and having a good time in the process.”
