HOPE for Homeowners
The Bush Administration unveiled on October 1 additional mortgage assistance for homeowners at risk of foreclosure. The HOPE for Homeowners program will refinance mortgages for borrowers who are having difficulty making their payments, but can afford a new loan insured by HUD’s Federal Housing Administration (FHA).
Tips for Homebuyers
Be sure to shop around for the best loan. To get better terms, visit or call more than one lender. FHA has recently increased its loan limits. Affordable FHA mortgages are now available in high cost areas.
