When conforming mortgages started defaulting en masse in late-2007, mortgage guarantor Fannie Mae created a loss-offsetting, fee-generating scheme dubbed "loan-level pricing adjustments".
The concept was basic: For mortgage applicants with high-risk profiles, collect up-front payments to offset potential long-term losses.
Similar to the auto insurance model in which younger drivers pay higher premiums, the riskier the applicant, the higher the fee.
At the inception of the program, Fannie Mae defined "risk" as a combination of borrower credit score and home equity percentage. In general, lower FICOs and higher LTVs paid mo...

WILL MY CREDIT SCORE GO DOWN IF YOU PULL MY CREDIT??
The short answer to that question is -not much. Depending on which score version is used by Equifax, Experian or Trans Union you have 14 to 45 days to comparatively shop for a mortgage or auto. All mortgage and auto inquiries within a rolling 14 day to 45 day window only count as 1 inquiry. Even then the "ding" to your score will be very slight and will be recouped over the next 30 day cycle when you once again make all your payments on time.

Short Sales
We are hearing a lot about short sales these days - buyers are asking about shorts sale- sellers are asking if its possible to short sell their home.
By Definition - In a short sale, the net proceeds from the sale are insufficient to cover the mortgage debt and all other costs of selling.
What does that actually mean?
If the seller can't make up the shortfall out of their reserve capital, savings and or credit card they may need to negotiate for reduced lien with the lien holders ( lenders) in an attempt to reach a solution in which the seller can proceed with a sale and avoid foreclosure. this solution may be the lender writing off a potion of the loan or asking the seller to...
203(K) Rehabilitation Program
aA important FHA financing program that's been closed since the late 1990s may be re-opened to investors -- provided HUD agrees to a proposal submitted recently by the National Association of Realtors.
NAR president Charles McMillan asked the HUD Secretary Steve Preston and the department to rethink its decision to bar investors from the 203(K) rehabilitation program, under which FHA insures a combined home purchase and renovation mortgage based on the after-repairs valuation of the property.
McMillan said reopening 203(K) to investors could play a key role in disposing of large numbers of vacant foreclosed houses that have been damaged by vandals or prior...
