FHASecure Enhancements Announced
(NAR)
FHA will have more flexibility to insure replacement mortgages for borrowers struggling to stay current in their subprime mortgage in program changes announced by President Bush. Under some of the new criteria, FHA can insure replacement loans of lenders who voluntarily write down the outstanding subprime mortgage principal balances to a 97 percent or 90 percent LTV ratio, depending on the borrowers' circumstances, and lenders are encouraged to make other arrangements, such as subordinate financing, to fill the gap between the existing loan balances and the FHA-insurable loan amount. The refinanced loan amount backed by the FHA would be based upon a new appraisal, performed by an FHA-approved appraiser. Learn More.

Help REALTORS Celebrate 100 years of NAR.(NAR)
One Hundred Years in Celebration of the American Dream
In May 1908, 120 men gathered in Chicago with the goal to "unite the real estate men of America." Their goal was to professionalize their industry and represent the interests of real estate brokers and owners nationally. What emerged from that meeting in 1908 was the National Association of Real Estate Exchanges, which 100 years on thrives as the National Association of REALTORS® . The NAR Centennial Video celebrates REALTORS®' past accomplishments and looks forward to the next century of organized real estate.
