“As of May 25, 2025, non-permanent residents will no longer qualify for FHA loans.” This comes directly from HUD’s Mortgagee Letter 2025-09. Why the change? The federal government is tightening access to FHA benefits to only U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents. This means: • No more FHA loans for buyers with work permits, student visas, or temporary immigration status. • Your buyer MUST have USCIS documentation or be a citizen of the Marshall Islands, Palau, or Micronesia. This is a critical update—especially in diverse markets like ours where many hardworking families rely on FHA for their first home. What to Do Now: 1. Pre-screen for residency status immediately. 2. Use MKG’s FHA-qualified preapproval system. 3. Schedule a call with me—we’re here to help you stay compliant and close deals.” “Don’t let policy changes cost you commission.

Why Homeownership Matters for Generational Wealth Owning a home is a key step toward building Generational Wealth. Real estate provides several long-term benefits: • Physiological Needs: Homeownership fulfills basic needs for shelter and stability. • Safety and Security: A home offers job security, personal safety, and financial stability. • Love and Belonging: It fosters family relationships, creates a sense of belonging, and provides a secure environment for future generations. • Self-Actualization: Achieving homeownership represents living the American dream, as it empowers individuals to take control of their financial future and build equity. Homeownership directly ties into Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, providing both basic and higher-level psychological fulfillment, from safety to self-actualization. Helping Disadvantaged Communities: A Black Mortgage Professional’s Role When a Black mortgage professional is perceived to be “pro-Black” for helping disadvantaged homebuyers, it’s essential to understand the difference between promoting equity and exclusion. By assisting historically marginalized communities, these professionals work to close the wealth gap created by systemic practices like redlining, focusing on ensuring everyone has an equal opportunity to own a home. 1. Addressing Historical Discrimination: Black mortgage professionals help correct the historical injustices of redlining by supporting disadvantaged buyers who have been systematically denied homeownership. 2. Promoting Equity, Not Exclusion: Focusing on helping disadvantaged communities is about leveling the playing field, not excluding others. Equity is about ensuring all individuals receive the support they need based on their circumstances. 3. Empowering the Disadvantaged: Programs and services aimed at helping Black homebuyers empower families to achieve financial stability and homeownership, helping to reverse the effects of redlining. 4. Correcting the Effects of Redlining: The legacy of redlining continues to affect Black communities today, and Black mortgage professionals play a critical role in providing access to homeownership opportunities and promoting economic mobility.

The Counterintuitive Wisdom of Buying a House When Interest Rates Are High How Rates Impact the Housing Market In general, when interest rates are higher or increasing, the housing market slows down. When interest rates are going up, the cost of owning a home becomes more expensive due to the higher interest rate, which reduces demand. This reduction in demand then results in a drop in home prices. When the Fed increases rates to slow down the economy, particularly in times of inflation, the above goal is what it's looking for; a reduction in consumer spending that results in a drop in prices. Conversely, when interest rates drop, the cost of buying a house becomes cheaper, which increases the demand for housing. Lower interest rates go hand in hand with a bustling housing market. This increase in demand then slowly increases home prices. Why Buying is Still Better Than Renting? As a renter, you don't build equity over the long term and if you leave, you don't get to take any profits with you. Owning a home can be empowering and emotionally rewarding. The money you spend on your mortgage every month and improving your home yields a long-term investment benefit for you instead of a landlord. Great News for First-Time Homebuyers! In the world of real estate, conventional wisdom has long held that the best time to buy a house is when interest rates are low. It's an understandable assumption, given the seemingly logical relationship between interest rates and housing prices. When interest rates rise, it becomes more expensive to borrow money for a mortgage, and this, in turn, should reduce the demand for housing and cause home prices to fall. Conversely, when interest rates drop, the cost of buying a house becomes cheaper, which should stimulate demand and drive home prices up. And here's some great news for first-time homebuyers: MKG Enterprises Corp is excited to introduce our new down payment assistance programs that come with NO income limits! Eligibility is open to U.S. citizens, permanent resident aliens, non-permanent resident aliens, and even DACA recipients. Plus, we've got you covered with various eligible property types: 1-unit residences, 2-4 unit properties, FHA approved Condos, and both single-wide and double-wide manufactured homes. With a minimum credit score requirement of just 580, you're closer to homeownership than you think. And guess what? This program isn't limited to first-time homebuyers! You can apply even if you own other properties. To apply for these amazing programs, use our easy and secure online loan application https://mkgenterprisescorp.com Please note that specific loan program availability and requirements may vary, so it's best to get in touch with your mortgage advisor for more information. Don't miss out on this opportunity to own your dream home, even when interest rates are high!…

Zero down-payment mortgages and similar programs appear to have recently been gaining traction on Main Street. Bank of America announced Aug. 30 that it is launching a trial program, called the Community Affordable Loan Solution, offering mortgages that do not require closing costs, down payments or minimum credit scores. People in predominantly Hispanic or Black neighborhoods in Charlotte, North Carolina; Dallas; Detroit; Los Angeles; and Miami that meet specific income requirements will have access to the program. In March, TD Bank launched a similar program that includes a $5,000 lender credit that qualifying borrowers can use on home purchase closing costs or down payments. Qualifying borrowers must meet certain credit and income parameters, as well as reside in a participating market, according to the bank's press release . JPMorgan Chase also expanded its grant program in February 2021 to offer $5,000 for closing costs and down payments to homebuyers purchasing homes in predominantly minority neighborhoods. The most recent data from the National Association of Realtors found that there was a significant racial gap in homeownership in 2020. White households had a homeownership rate around 72.5%, while the homeownership rates for Hispanic and Black households were 51.1% and 43.4%, respectively. IS CURRENT HOUSING MARKET SLOWDOWN SIMILAR TO 2008 CRASH? Zero down-payment mortgages, however, have some downsides, according to Bankrate.com chief financial analyst Greg McBride. The downsides are that the homebuyers are very dependent on further price appreciation to build a meaningful equity stake and without that, there will not be enough equity to pay the closing costs if plans change and they need to sell in the first few years. This is the "wrong end of the real estate cycle for zero down payment mortgages." "The risk to borrowers has grown because of the surge in home prices," McBride said. "If home prices stall, or even decline, a no down payment loan could be setting the buyer up for failure as they won't have much, if any, equity stake in the home." That increases the likelihood of a loan default if the borrower is looking to exit the home, he said. The housing market has been cooling in recent months. The number of home sale cancellations reached a two-year high in July as roughly 16% of homes that went into contract that month were called off, according to a Redfin analysis. Sentiment among builders also reached a record-low since May 2020.

When you borrow money to buy a home, you’ll see many numbers thrown around . Most buyers focus on the purchase price of the home. It’s an indicator of whether or not you can afford the price. But since you probably won’t pay cash only, you must consider the loan amount. The loan amount is the money you borrow to buy the home. It usually differs from the purchase price since most lenders don’t always provide 100 percent financing. Considering the loan-to-value ratio is important too. This value compares the purchase price and the loan amount and is a number lenders talk about often. Understanding these numbers helps you make solid real estate investment decisions. While focusing on the purchase price makes sense, it’s the loan amount that plays the most important role in your decision, here’s why. What’s The Purchase Price? The purchase price is the amount you agree to pay the seller . It’s the amount on your sales contract or the amount your real estate agent worked so hard to get the seller to agree to. For example, a home is listed for $300,000, but your real estate agent gets them down to $285,000. Your purchase price is $285,000. That’s what you agree to pay. Now, you probably don’t have $285,000 lying around, so you need financing, which is where the loan amount matters. The Loan Amount Isn’t The Purchase Price The loan amount differs from the purchase price because most lenders won’t give you 100 percent of the sales price. We’ll use our $285,000 sales price example from above. Traditional lenders or banks will typically give you 80 percent of that amount, so $228,000 if you live in the home as your primary residence. Primary residence properties have a lower risk of default because you live there, but you must come up with the remaining $57,000. Lenders require your own investment to reduce the risk of default. They call it having ‘skin in the game’. Traditional loans require a 20 percent investment. Lenders feel if you have 20 percent of your own money invested, you’ll be more likely to pay your bills on time and not default on the loan, risking your property. MKG Enterprises Corp.

How to buy a house with cryptocurrency Cryptocurrency is proving to be less of a trend and more of a force that’s here to stay. Bitcoin (BTC) reached an all-time high of over $68,000 in November 2021 after starting the year at just under $30,000, and the crypto industry as a whole grew to a total market cap of more than $2 trillion. It makes sense that cryptocurrency investors are thinking big when it comes to tapping into the power of their crypto stashes. Can you use cryptocurrency to buy a house? If you’re considering using Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, Litecoin or one of a number of other cryptocurrencies to purchase a home, you’re not alone. It’s becoming increasingly common, but there are some challenges to be aware of, and the volatility of the cryptocurrency market can make some transactions complicated. How do you buy a home with cryptocurrency? There are a few options for using cryptocurrency to buy a home. Convert cryptocurrency to cash One of the simplest ways to use your cryptocurrency nest egg to buy a home is to sell the cryptocurrency for fiat money (dollars) using a service like BitPay, then use that money to purchase a home. However, keep in mind that you’ll need to keep the fiat money in an account in your name for at least two months before it’s considered an asset that can be used to purchase a home, and a deposit that large may get flagged by the IRS. Any money you make from selling cryptocurrency may also be subject to capital gains tax, so check with your financial advisor or tax attorney. Convert your crypto to U.S. currency Before it can be used to buy a house, cryptocurrency must be converted to U.S. currency. MKG Enterprises Corp Third=Party Originator is beta-testing to accept cryptocurrency stable coins for its borrowers as a down payment and closing costs, that would be converted to U.S. dollars and offer its borrowers the ability to create a digital wallet to convert their crypto to fiat however much borrowers intend to use and have the money in their bank account prior to closing. Seasoning Your lender’s underwriting team will need to verify that the crypto assets were in your digital wallet or digital exchange account for at least 60 days prior to when you sold them What are the cons to buying a home with cryptocurrency? As enticing as cryptocurrency may be, it’s still something of an unknown entity in the real estate industry. When considering buying a home with cryptocurrency, watch out for these drawbacks: Not all sellers accept cryptocurrency. While trust is growing in Bitcoin, Ethereum and their competitors, few sellers are ready to go all-in and accept cryptocurrency as payment for a real estate transaction, so it may limit your home-buying options. Cryptocurrency exchanges may be subject to capital gains taxes. The IRS considers cryptocurrency a type of property, property that must be sold in order for you to realize its value in dollars. Be sure to consult a tax professional to find out how using cryptocurrency to buy a home may affect your tax liability. You may have fewer legal protections in a cryptocurrency transaction. For users of cryptocurrency, two of its main selling points are security and anonymity. But that means transactions are difficult to trace, so if anything goes wrong, you could face a sticky legal situation. Be sure to consult a legal professional to learn how to protect yourself. Most mortgage lenders may not accept cryptocurrency-derived dollars for a down payment. Again, because cryptocurrency is anonymous, when it’s sold and converted to cash, there’s no paper trail that lenders can use to trace a sudden windfall of money in your account, and they may be hesitant to approve your loan without documentation of funds. The value of cryptocurrency is constantly changing. Imagine offering four Bitcoin for a home, having the offer accepted, and then watching the value of Bitcoin double right before the contract is signed. Need we say more? The bottom line If you want to buy a home with cryptocurrency, do your homework and be prepared to face some hurdles. If you’re not sure you’re cut out to be a cryptocurrency pioneer, consider giving the real estate industry a few years to get more comfortable with digital currencies before dropping any cryptocurrency on a house. MKG Enterprises Corp Third-Party Originator NLMS ID 1370394 Book A Meeting: https://calendly.com/marshawngovan https://mkgenterprisescorp.com Risk Disclosures Bitcoin, ERC-20 tokens and other cryptocurrencies are a very speculative investment and involves a high degree of risk.

FHFA raises 2023 conforming loan limits on Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac mortgages The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) today announced the conforming loan limit values (CLLs) for mortgages to be acquired by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (the Enterprises) in 2023. In most of the United States, the 2023 CLL value for one-unit properties will be $726,200, an increase of $79,000 from $647,200 in 2022. National Baseline The Housing and Economic Recovery Act (HERA) requires that the baseline CLL for the Enterprises be adjusted each year to reflect the change in the average U.S. home price. Earlier today, FHFA published its third quarter 2022 FHFA House Price Index® (FHFA HPI®) report, which includes statistics for the increase in the average U.S. home value over the last four quarters. According to the nominal, seasonally adjusted, expanded-data FHFA HPI, house prices increased 12.21 percent, on average, between the third quarters of 2021 and 2022. Therefore, the baseline CLL in 2023 will increase by the same percentage. High-Cost Areas For areas in which 115 percent of the local median home value exceeds the baseline conforming loan limit, the applicable loan limit will be higher than the baseline loan limit. HERA establishes the high-cost area limit in those areas as a multiple of the area median home value, while setting the ceiling at 150 percent of the baseline limit. Median home values generally increased in high-cost areas in 2022, which increased their CLL. The new ceiling loan limit for one-unit properties will be $1,089,300, which is 150 percent of $726,200. Special statutory provisions establish different loan limits for Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. In these areas, the baseline loan limit will be $1,089,300 for one-unit properties. Due to rising home values, the CLLs will be higher in all but two U.S. counties or county equivalents. Apply for a mortgage loan today https://mkgenterprisescorp.com…
Mortgage lenders may request a rapid rescore to have new payment information added to your credit reports quickly. This may result in a potential increase to your credit score, possibly improving your loan eligibility. When you apply for a home loan, your mortgage lender may require you to pay off any past-due debts or outstanding loans before approving your loan application. Rapid rescoring is a process lenders use to have new payment information added to your credit reports quickly—potentially increasing your credit score and improving your loan eligibility. How Rapid Rescore Works With a rapid rescore, a mortgage lender pays a fee to the credit reporting company (Experian, TransUnion or Equifax) to have recent account changes updated to a loan applicant's credit report in an expedited time frame. Normally, after you make the necessary payments to pay down or pay off an account as requested by your mortgage lender, it may take a full billing cycle or two for your creditors to process those payments and report the information to the credit reporting agencies. Only credit scores calculated after the updates have been made to your credit report will reflect the changes to your accounts. Because mortgage loans are often time-sensitive, a mortgage lender may prefer to pay a fee to have an applicant's payment information updated more quickly. The lender submits proof of the recent payment updates, such as paying off or paying down debt accounts, to the credit reporting agency so the new information can be updated more quickly and help expedite the lender's mortgage approval process. Once the credit report is updated, the lender can request a new credit score that will reflect those updates and ideally result in a higher score. This service is offered only through your lender—you cannot request a rapid rescore on your own. How Long Does Rapid Rescoring Take? How long a rapid rescore takes can depend on your mortgage lender and other creditors. Once you have made payments to your credit accounts, those creditors will first need to update the accounts to reflect the new balance or payment status. Next, your mortgage lender will need to obtain proof of the changes from you so they can provide the updated information to the credit reporting company. Once the mortgage lender begins the rapid rescore process with the credit reporting agency and submits the necessary documentation, it is often completed within two to three days. Is a Rapid Rescore Something I Should Consider? A rapid rescore is usually recommended by your mortgage lender when your current credit score falls a few points below the score needed to qualify for a better rate or loan terms. Even a small change of a fraction of a percentage point in your mortgage interest rate can save you thousands of dollars over the life of the loan. If you have a current credit score that is relatively close to the score the bank says you need, and the means to pay down your debts, it may make sense to ask your lender to take advantage of a rapid rescore option to save money on interest and fees. It's important to keep in mind that paying off or paying down an account may not always result in a credit score increase. There are many different factors that go into a credit score calculation, and each individual's credit situation is unique. For example, if a high utilization rate is one of the more significant factors impacting your scores, paying down a large credit card balance has the potential to increase your scores right away. However, if your utilization rate is already relatively low or the payment you made doesn't significantly change your balance-to-limit ratio, you may not see a change to your scores once the balance is updated. Similarly, while paying off debt is always a good thing, any major change to your credit history, such as paying off an installment loan, may result in a temporary dip in scores until your credit history has stabilized. The Bottom Line It's important to remember that your credit reports are continuously changing as lenders report updates to your accounts. In the time it takes for the rapid rescore process, there may be other changes or updates to your credit history that can also cause credit scores to fluctuate. What is FICO 8 and Who Uses It? FICO 8 is the most commonly used version of the FICO model. Like previous versions, it takes on-time payments, account balances, and other credit history into account when calculating your score. However, the FICO 8 model has a few features that you should be aware of before applying for credit. FICO Model Description FICO 9 Newest version. Not widely used. FICO 8 Most common. Used for Auto and Bankcard lending. FICO 5 Used by mortgage lenders. Built on data from Equifax. FICO 4 Used by mortgage lenders. Built on data from TransUnion. FICO 2 Used by mortgage lenders. Built on data from Experian. One of the most important aspects about FICO 8 is that it’s more sensitive to high utilization of credit lines when compared to previous versions of FICO. We recommend that you stay under 30% credit utilization to keep your FICO 8 score from dropping due to high utilization. On the other hand, FICO 8 has positive changes for consumers as well. Accounts in collections with balances under $100 are now ignored by your FICO score. Previously, all collections accounts were factored into your FICO score, no matter how small they were. Additionally, FICO 8 is more forgiving to one-off late payments of 30 days or more when compared to previous versions of the FICO model as long as all other accounts are in good standing. There are two sub-versions of the FICO 8 score: FICO 8 Auto and FICO 8 Bankcard. As you’d expect, lenders use FICO 8 Auto to assess creditworthiness for auto loans and FICO 8 Bankcard to assess creditworthiness for new credit card accounts. These specialized versions of the FICO 8 scoring model are similar to standard FICO 8, but with emphasis on a different part of your credit history. For example, FICO 8 Bankcard places a bigger emphasis on your behavior with credit cards than FICO 8 Auto. Despite these differences, your FICO 8 Auto and Bankcard scores will be largely similar to your standard FICO 8 score. FICO 8 vs FICO 9: What Are the Differences? FICO 9 is similar to FICO 8 but differs when it comes to collections and rent payments. FICO 9 counts medical collections less harshly than other accounts in collections, so a surgery bill in collections will have less of an impact on your credit score than a credit card bill in collections. Additionally, FICO 9 ignores accounts in collections that have a zero dollar balance. If you had a credit card account go to collections but later paid it off, FICO 9 will no longer use said collections account against your score. This is different than FICO 8, which factors all collections amounts of $100 or more into your FICO score—even if they’re completely paid off. Just because collections with a zero balance are ignored by FICO 9 does not mean that lenders will ignore them. Credit bureaus will still show these collections on your full credit report, and lenders will see them when they reviews your full credit history. Finally, FICO 9 factors rental history into your credit score. This makes it easier for people with no credit to build a high credit score with their monthly on-time rent payments. Unfortunately, this is dependent on your landlord actually reporting rent payments to credit bureaus—something not yet seen on a large scale. Most lenders have yet to adopt FICO 9 since it’s still new to the market. This will change as time goes on, so start monitoring your FICO 9 score now to ensure you don't encounter any surprises as the years go on. You can pay to view your official FICO 9 score on FICO’s official credit monitoring service. Unfortunately, there is no one offering a free FICO 9 score at this time. What Are Older FICO Models? FICO 8 and 9 aren’t the only versions in use. Some lenders and industries use older versions like FICO 2, 4, and 5. In fact, these are still used by the mortgage industry when assessing creditworthiness for new mortgages and deciding on interest rates. FICO 2, 4, and 5 are very similar. The main differences between the three is that 2, 4,and 5 use data from Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax respectively. Mortgage lenders pull one of each and compile the reports in a document called a Residential Mortgage Credit Report. Duplicate data is screened and removed, and the middle score of the three is picked to represent your worthiness to pay back the mortgage. FICO 8 and 9 use data from a single credit bureau, so using FICO 2, 4, and 5 together gives mortgage lenders a more complete view of your creditworthiness because they can see the history of every account you’ve opened. This is especially helpful for mortgage lenders as many creditors don't report account history to all three credit bureaus. How Does FICO Differ from Other Credit Score Models? VantageScore is another popular credit scoring model. Like FICO, VantageScore 3.0 grades credit on a 300 to 850 point scale and takes credit utilization, credit inquiries, and on-time payments into account. However, the two models differ in a few ways, with one major difference. FICO penalizes all late payments the same way, while VantageScore penalizes late mortgage payments higher than other late payments. FICO and VantageScore also differ in how they handle combining similar credit inquiries. With FICO, you have a 45 day grace period where similar credit inquiries for auto loans, mortgages, and student loans are combined into one inquiry. VantageScore gives you a smaller 14 day grace period, which can make comparison shopping for loans harder.

The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) today announced on October 24, 2022 targeted changes to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac's (the Enterprises) guarantee fee pricing by eliminating upfront fees for certain borrowers and affordable mortgage products, while implementing targeted increases to the upfront fees for most cash-out refinance loans. As part of the pricing changes stemming from the Agency's ongoing review of the Enterprises' pricing framework announced last year, FHFA is eliminating upfront fees for: First-time homebuyers at or below 100 percent of area median income (AMI) in most of the United States and below 120 percent of AMI in high-cost areas; HomeReady and Home Possible loans (Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac's flagship affordable mortgage programs); HFA Advantage and HFA Preferred loans; and Single-family loans supporting the Duty to Serve program. "FHFA is eliminating upfront fees for certain first-time homebuyers , low-income borrowers, and underserved communities to promote sustainable and equitable access to affordable housing," said Director Sandra L. Thompson. "Today's announcement will result in savings for approximately 1 in 5 borrowers of the Enterprises' recent mortgage acquisitions."

FHFA Approves FICO 10T and VantageScore 4.0 Credit Models New Credit Models Benefit Borrowers & Enterprises The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) announced October 24, 2022 validation of both the FICO 10T credit score model and the VantageScore 4.0 credit score include rent, utilities and telecom payments, delivering a more accurate and inclusive credit model for use by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The FHFA expects implementation will be a multiyear process, and lenders will be required to deliver both scores with each loan sold to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. “While implementing the newer credit score models is a significant change that will take time and require close coordination across the industry, the models bring improved accuracy and a more inclusive approach to evaluating borrowers,” said FHFA Director Sandra Thompson. This decision comes as an effort to implement Section 310 of the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act. The FHFA has used the classic FICO score for nearly two decades.

The average one-bedroom apartment now costs $1,150. KEY POINTS Home prices are rising faster than rents, which is shrinking the affordability gap between being a homeowner and a tenant. Single-family homes are less affordable than they have been in just over three quarters of the U.S. — the highest total in 13 years, according to a real estate data tracker.
