New Guidelines
As of November 17, 2009 there will be some changes to the FHA Streamline loan program. In order to minimize FHA loan exposure to delinquencies FHA decided to stricten the underwriting rules in reference to FHA Streamline mortgages. Under new guidelines there will be additional requirements to credit, employment and income. Appraisal will be required under certain circumstances. Properties with significant loss of value might not be able to qualify.
