FANNIE BACK TO 10 PROPERTIES!
Effective March 1, 2009 Fannie Mae will allow investors to own up to ten (10) financed properties based upon borrower eligibility requirements. This is a much anticipated and welcome change to regulations that temporarily sidelined seasoned investors who owned more than four (4) financed properties. Fannie Mae returned to the ten (10) property limit because experienced borrowers will play a key role in the housing recovery. This change in Fannie Mae regulation will allow investors with 4+ properties to resume purchasing property for investment or resale. The goal of this change is to help stimulate the current housing market and in turn help stimulate the overall economy. Now is the time for real estate investment! EDC is ready to service investor rehab loans for investors who currently have four (4) or more financed properties. Now is the time when millions of dollars will be made! Now is the time to take advantage of the loosening of regulations! DO NOT LET THIS OPPORTUNITY PASS YOU BY! To read about the new Fannie Mae guide lines please click here.

Stimulus Package
This article came through today...
Dear Fellow REALTOR®,
Here's our take on the Stimulis Bill and Treasury announcements made this week. We look at the Stimulis package AND the Treasury's package holistically, in compliment with each other - mostly because that's how the Obama team is looking at it. Your representatives, the NAR Board of Directors, asked us in November to do 4 things (with an unspoken but clearly understood mandate to PRESERVE what we already have). Here they are: 1) get loan limits raised for high cost areas, 2) make the $7,500 tax credit NOT a loan, 3) try to find ways to push interest rates down (which are higher than they should be due to systemic risk right now) by 200 basis points, and 4) help provide solutions to the foreclosure/short sale problem.
So here's what we have achieved: 1) the loan limits will be raised to $727,000 in high cost areas, 2) the tax credit will be raised to $8,000 with NO payback [a true credit], 3) interest rates have come down 125-150 basis points, and 4) the bill has over $50 billion in it for foreclosure mitigation, with Geitners Treasury plan signaling that the second half of TARP and TALF will be used to mitigate foreclosures through a government guarantee, drive down interest rates by buying another $200-300 billion of mortgage paper from the GSES's thereby freeing them up to do the same with new mortgages, and Fannie has just agreed to lift the cap of 4 investment properties eligible for loans and raise it to 10.
In addition, we preserved what we have - which some tend to forget is always on the table when these negotiations start up again - mortgage interest deductability, real estate tax deductability, and the $250,000/$500,000 cap gains exclusion (an overall package worth more than $100 billion and for some a very attractive funding source for their pet projects).
We did make a run at the $15,000 credit -- and we would have loved to have gotten that or the Homebuilders $22,000 credit idea as well as their 5 year loss carryback deal, but they were considered too rich for this program. What it did do though is totally take the debate off of whether a tax credit should be reinstated at all (it expired last year) and whether it was a true credit or a repayable loan, and kept the conversation on how much it should be. It also kept the debate off of 'what we are willing to give up to get a $15,000 tax credit' and kept the debate again, on how much it should be. It's pretty hard to complain when they give you what you ask for and you lose something you never had.

While we study the Treasury specifics on their major role in providing the rest of the housing solution -- there is much more to come and we are working diligently with the Administration to help 'unclog the pipeline' and get capital flowing into housing again.

Rentals
I am absolutely stunned by the amount of interest in my rental listing right now. The market has turned, but also the economy. It is simply amazing to watch people right now, making wise decisions, cutting expenses and, getting ready as we don't know what is to come. I am usually an optimist, but I am proud of those who are taking a serious look at reality in America today.
