Consumer Loan Changes in 2013 Cost More

With the Dodd-Frank bill having no chance for repeal, it appears their new proposed rule changes will be enforced. Most of these new rules affecting our industry revolve around Owner Occupied residential consumer loans. These changes will begin in January 2013. Some of the changes that will impact the “Hard money” space are listed below.

Consumer Loan Changes

NO financing any lender or broker points within the loan! This means the borrower will have to pay the origination fees out of their savings or finance it on a credit card.

NO Prepay protection will be allowed to the lender! This will eliminate the ability to offer ZERO points for a residential loan, a feature that has allowed the majority/total of points to go to the broker.

No Balloon payments will be allowed! This will likely force lenders into 30 year fully amortized loans. With the current loan rates this is a good thing but in the future it may prohibit short term loans at reduced interest rates.

All borrowers that want to get Hard Money/Alternative loans on their home will be FORCED to attend Consumer counseling set up by HUD.

Considering selling your home using a Contract for Deed? There are considerable risks for the homeowner in choosing this option. We would encourage getting legal advice from a real estate attorney before implementing this option.

The end results of these pending changes will affect the cost of capital to the consumer. These changes will result in immediate costs for the consumer and as interest rates rise and a need for lower rates is needed they will not be available with balloon type of loans and other short term loan products.

Thanksgiving - Ours and Theirs

Happy Thanksgiving

There are some who loosely describe athletes or celebrities as heroes, but it is our own American soldier who inconspicuously puts his or her life on the line every single day that are the true heroes. Though there are some that may forget or take for granted the sacrifices that these courageous soldiers must endure in order to protect our liberty, we cannot fail to remember. We should be giving thanks to them each and every day…not just on this official day of thanks. When we pass a person in uniform or notice a veteran, we should take a moment to express our gratitude. We should also think of those heroes who have made the ultimate sacrifice and will not be home this Thanksgiving.

A Military Thanksgiving Overseas

Thanksgiving Away From Home

Thanksgiving and the holiday season can be a particularly difficult time for some Soldiers and their families. Suicides in the Army are still high and many Soldiers returning from deployment or transitioning out of the Army are having difficulties adjusting. So take a moment as we enjoy this day and remember our veterans that are serving us today and those that gave the ultimate sacrifice in the service of our country.

Thanksgiving at Guard Post

From our family to yours - Happy Thanksgiving and have a safe, enjoyable day.
