Efforts to enhance and expand the FHA mortgage program are on the fast track in Washington as both the administration and lawmakers are looking to throw a life line to American homeowners facing rising foreclosures as a result of an unprecedented credit crunch and resetting loans.
Find out how you can take advantage of the new FHA with a must-attend new audio conference from Inside Mortgage Finance.
After once commanding a 20 percent share of new originations, FHA loans accounted for just 1.8 percent of mortgage volume in 2006. But FHA activity climbed in the second quarter as more lenders started using the program as an alternative to subprime products. And now the FHA program is poised to grow by leaps and bounds thanks to lower downpayments, higher loan limits and risk-based pricing.

Hear and Speak With Industry Experts:

• Margaret Burns, Director of the Office of Single Family Program Development at the FHA, will provide details about the new changes;
• Tom Rzeszut, SVP Product Management/Enterprise Risk Management at Countrywide, and Eric Weinstein, CEO and Founder of Carteret Mortgage Corporation, will provide the lender perspective;
• Jane Dwight, Managing Partner at Concentrance Consulting Group, a firm with extensive knowledge of the FHA programs, will share her insights;
and
• Guy Cecala, Publisher, Inside Mortgage Finance Publications, will moderate.
