Breaking News: FHA Waives 90 Day No Flip Rule for 1 Year

Friday, January 15th, 2010

Flipping is becoming more and more accepted by the government and major lending institutions. This is evidenced by Freddie Mac’s recent bulletins, updated credit policies by Wells Fargo to allow for C buyer financing, and revised title bulletins stating that the C purchase price does not need to be revealed to the A lender as long as certain disclosures are made.

Today, the FHA has rescinded its 90 anti-flipping rule and will, for a period of 1 year, allow FHA buyers to obtain loans on properties that have been recently purchased by investors.

The policy change will permit buyers to use FHA-insured financing to purchase HUD-owned properties, bank-owned properties, or properties resold through private sales. This will allow homes to resell as quickly as possible, helping to stabilize real estate prices and to revitalize neighborhoods and communities.

Property flips are legal if done correctly in an open and transparent manner. Legitimate, solid sources have documented their changes recently.

Banks are finally catching up with the market and opening up their guidelines to allow more investors to revitalize the economy with legitimate property flipping. The free market system and capitalism will balance supply and demand and bring the economy back into harmony much faster than any government program could ever hope to do.
