Sorry to be a little late with this update, but I’ve been trying for several days to figure out the real scoop on exactly what happened. For the first time that I can ever remember, FHA actually published a mortgagee letter on their website and then just removed it.
Usually the process of revoking a Mortgagee Letter would involve issuing another Mortgagee Letter with updated rules. Looks like someone at HUD may have gotten ahead of themselves!
For the time being, there is no monetization of the $8000 tax credit. Even if they should re-instate it, it will be months before lenders would be able to get geared up to do it.
Sorry for the unnecessary excitement.
