GOVERNMENT/LEGAL:
Call for
Action on Housing
The
REALTOR® Party needs your help to protect the stability of the
American housing market. By now you have seen numerous news reports concerning
the "Fiscal Cliff." Many of these reports speculate that a change to
the long-standing policy that allows home owners to deduct mortgage interest
payments from their income taxes could be part of a "Fiscal Cliff"
deal. NAR encourages you to "remind" Congress about our position on
any proposed changes to the mortgage interest deduction. Learn more.
FHA
Temporary Waiver of Regulation on Property Flipping
On
November 29, 2012, FHA announced it
is extending the availability of the temporary waiver of its regulation 24
CFR 203.37a(b)(2), which prohibits the use of FHA financing to purchase single
family properties that are being resold within 90 days of the previous
acquisition. This waiver, which was first issued in January 2010, has been
extended for an additional two years to December 31, 2014. FHA hopes this
waiver will encourage investors to renovate foreclosed and abandoned homes to
increase the availability of affordable homes and stabilize communities that
have seen high foreclosure activity.
