Capital Markets Analyst:
HUD has 30 days from the day the President signed the package into law to identify the impacted Metropolitan Statistical Areas, so it may be sometime in mid-March before all lenders receive the official pricing notification. At this point anything else is pure conjecture. Although several mortgage lenders have promoted lists of what they believe the new limits will be, these are only estimates because HUD has yet to determine the higher loan limits. HUD will determine the new loan limits based on the median area sales prices – but which ones? 2007? The fourth quarter of 2007? The third quarter? Median area sales prices may be dramatically different throughout the year, so the timeframe used by HUD to determine the higher loan limits is very important.

- As a Certified Mortgage Planning Specialist (CMPS) with extensive experience in the mortgage industry, I specialize in helping my clients find, structure and manage mortgage debt as one piece of a larger financial strategy. I provide my clients with detailed home loan and debt structuring guidance that compliments their long term financial objectives, including college savings, retirement planning and other investment goals. With an understanding of financial planning concepts that relate to taxation, investment strategy, and estate planning, I work to create a personal strategic mortgage solution for my clients’ diverse financial needs. I collaborate with advisors in other financial fields, and introduce other specialists for guidance as needed. The ability to assess and advise on all aspects of a client’s financial situation can minimize financing costs and tax exposure while building net worth – a benefit often missed when focusing on home loans exclusively.
