New FHA Mortgage Limits

The Federal Housing Administration has introduced the FHASecure Initiative. This program will enable homeowners to refinance various types of adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs) that have recently reset. This may allow homeowners to refinance mortgages that, due to the increased mortgage payment following the reset, have become delinquent. The FHASecure initiative, which is a temporary program designed to provide refinancing opportunities to homeowners and to increase liquidity in the mortgage market, requires that the loan application be signed no later than December 31, 2008.
