Down payment assistance programs have help millions of Americans acheive the dream of home ownership. However, the new housing rescue bill that is set to become law on October 1st will do away with all private down payment assistance programs, effectively ending the dream of home ownership for millions of Americans who need this program in order to buy a home.
HR 5830 appears to be headed to law as soon as next week, as the bill has passed through Congress and now must be signed by the President. The bill will ideally help homeowners bail out of bad loans and negative equity situations.

There has been increasing discussion in congress and the white house about modernizing the FHA mortgage program in an effort to help millions of home owners avoid foreclosure and get into a stable, government-backed mortgage.
FHA has been around for decades, and is known for helping people with spotty credit records get into a home with a stable, 30 year fixed mortgage. Although FHA does have looser underwriting guidelines than many programs, there ...

FHA Mortgage limits have officially been increased as part of the government's economic stimulus package. The increases will especially affect high-cost areas where many home owners were well above the previous FHA loan limits.
