President Trump has signed into law the VA “orphan” bill to remove conflicting requirements that caused many VA refis to remain ineligible for delivery into Ginnie Mae pools.
Trade groups are asking HUD to eliminate the FHA certifications entirely or replace them with language indicating a lender acknowledges key FHA requirements based on loan eligibility.
The House approved bills that would reduce FHA upfront premium payments by 25 basis points and correct a drafting error that rendered certain VA loans ineligible for pooling in Ginnie Mae MBS.
