Proposed RESPA Reform
Mortgage brokers may have some intrusive rules from HUD to deal with.

When I read the news on HUD?s proposed reform of the Real Estate Settlement and Procedures Act (RESPA) I was skeptical. Cathy from Sequim challenged me to read the 96-page federal register document so we could all figure out what?s going on. I am here to tell you that there is one very good change coming out of this proposal. In fact, it?s so good that I am borderline hopeful that this change might do what legislation is suppose to do and what HUD forgot to do when they signed the original version of RESPA in 1974. But first, the changes that will have many, but not all mortgage brokers screaming bloody murder:

Strike One
A look at role of mortgage insurance in FHA loans.

Regarding the second point: By not raising the loan limits they fail in one of the 11 ways they can help. I believe they will fail in almost all, but let us have hope. To be specific as to why I support this: FHA is not a government gimme. It is a government guarantee the mortgage will be paid or the lender compensated for losses. The program pays positive cash flow to the government in that there is a type of mortgage insurance fee charged the borrower. It is reasonable and more than pays for the reimbursements made to the lenders that suffer a default.

Who's To Blame
Mortgage brokers share the blame with the rest of the industry in the current real estate mess.

Who is not to blame for the mortgage mess? Take one step back. As lenders, money was flowing from the spigot like there was no tomorrow. As mortgage brokers, there was money to be made by cranking the faucet, and it was a foot race to see who could get to the sink first. As agents, we sang the ?Houses are expensive, but money is cheap? refrain until we were blue in the face. And, as for the consumer, it really doesn?t matter in the final analysis whether they were motivated by necessity, opportunity or unadulterated greed. We all helped make this bed in which we now must lie.

Hard to move when you're house loses value.

I will continue to work from Los Angeles while we work on selling our house, which unfortunately is bad timing as housing prices have taken a bit of a dive around here. Once we have things settled over here, we?ll pack our things and move up to Seattle.

Home Buyers Returning This Fall
This blogger says lower mortgage rates will drive buyers to the residential real estate market soon.

Ten days ago after the Fed calmed the markets' credit panic with a 1/2 point cut in the Discount rate, I postulated that home buyers will come back this fall when the Fed finally drops the Fed Funds rate, and mortgage rates drop. It's now almost certain to happen. Here are the parameters in play now:

Lead Scrub Rates
A look at the cost of a lead for a mortgage broker.

Joel has a good interview with Dave Wengel of TargusInfo around Mortgage lead scrub rates. Specifically that lendingtree and lowermybills have a 15% scrub rate whereas the free ipod guys (lure people in with promise of a free ipod but they and their friends have to signup for credit cards, netflix and talk to mortgage brokers to get it) have around a 50-60% scrub rate.

Why I Have Endorsed FHA
A look at FHA compliance for mortgage brokers.

Having been an FHA lender I can attest it is a pain at times. FHA requires annual financial audits of the mortgage brokers financial condition and more. We always have survived the several day pain, and the expenses tied to it, but only FHA drags brokers through this. The actual banks that sponsor the mortgage broker go through even more red tape and grief. Loan officers have to know more rules. FHA doesn?t rely on the easy automated underwriting or the quick answer from a subprime lender. FHA restricts how the borrowers pay for certain expenses and how much the lender can charge.
