Texas Home Lending News

On-time rent payments can now help you get a home loan!!!!
Fannie Mae (the government agency that backs many mortgage loans) will now use on-time rent payments as a factor when granting a mortgage. Fannie Mae estimates that 17% of previously denied applications could have been approved if rent payments were considered, so the change promises to help a lot of homebuyers.

Though we’ve always documented rent payments as part of our application process, they can now make up for insufficient credit accounts and add real merit toward approval.

If you or someone you know has put off homeownership for fear of inadequate credit, it may be worth taking a second look.
Reach out, and we’ll be happy to answer questions or to help in any way we can.

There could be more opportunities on the table for your clients!

The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) has just raised its loan limit by 18% to a maximum amount of $420,680 in most areas. In certain high cost areas, it’s $970,800. Limits will take effect in 2022.

This means your buyers can take advantage of FHA program benefits, including:
  • Low down payment options
  • Lower total cash-to-close requirements with gift or seller contributions
  • Ability to combine purchase and rehab financing
  • In some high-cost areas, higher loan limits than conventional mortgages
In some lower-cost areas or those with higher costs of construction, limits will vary.

If you or your clients have any questions about FHA programs or limits in our area, please reach out. I’ll be glad to help!
