Refinancing: Now Is a Good Time to Lock In

FHA Property Flipping Waiver Extended

FHA has extended their Property Flipping Waiver from February 1,2011 to December 31, 2011.



what is FHA Property Flipping Waiver?



Effective for purchase contracts dated February 1, 2010 and after, Borrowers may use FHA-insured financing to purchase previously foreclosed properties WITHOUT the 90-day waiting period:

HUD-owned properties
Bank-owned properties
Properties resold through private sales


This will allow homes to resell as quickly as possible, helping to stabilize real estate prices and to revitalize neighborhoods and communities.



To protect FHA Borrowers against predatory practices of flipping where properties are quickly resold at inflated prices, this waiver is limited to sales meeting ALL of the following requirements:

All transactions must be arms-length, with no identity of interest between the buyer and seller or other parties participating in the sales transaction

Seller must hold title to the property

LLCs, corporations or trusts that are serving as sellers were established and are operated in accordance with applicable state and Federal Law

No pattern of previous flipping activity exists for the subject property, as evidenced by multiple title transfers (more than 2) in the last 12 months as indicated on the Appraisal report

Property was marketed openly and fairly via MLS, auction, For Sale by Owner or developer marketing (assignment of contract not permitted)

If the sales price of the property is 20% or more above the seller's acquisition cost:
Increase in value must be justified by supporting documentation and/or a second appraisal verifying seller has completed sufficient legitimate renovation, repair and rehab work to substantiate the increase in value or in cases where no work is performed, the appraiser provides an appropriate explanation of the increase in value since prior transfer

Second appraisal is always required if 100% increase in purchase price

Property inspection is required and MUST be provided to the purchaser before closing,

Borrower will be charged for the inspection

Non-FHA approved inspectors or 203 k consultants are allowed

At a minimum the inspection must include ALL of the following:
Property structure, including foundation, floor, ceiling, walls and roof
Exterior, including siding, doors, windows, appurtenant structures such as decks and balconies, walkways and driveways
Roofing, plumbing systems, electrical systems, heating and air conditioning systems

All interiors
All insulation and ventilation systems as well as fireplaces and solid fuel burning appliances

Inspector must not have any interest in the property or relationship with the seller and must not receive compensation for the inspection from any party other than the lender.

Inspector may not compensate anyone for the referral, may not receive any compensation for referring or recommending contactors to perform any repairs recommended, and may not be involved in performing any repairs recommended by the inspection

New Brokerage

Starting in February, I will not be with Service First Realty Group any more. My new brokerage is Keller Williams in Sugar House, SLC. What does it mean for my clients?

nothing.

I am still a full time agent, who simply changed brokers. The thing is agents must hold license with the broker, and therefore, agents share their profit with brokers. It was a financial decision for me.

Besides finances, I felt that Keller Williams is better technologically set up and provide good training. I will all benefit me providing a better serve to you.

Otherwise, my contact info is still the same.
