1. Important: OMB puts the brakes on FHA’s bridge loan program | VARbuzz

   [...] Yesterday VAR released a flyer outlining details of an FHA program that would allow first time homebuyers to "monetize" the $8000 tax credit to be applied towards a downpayment. We have learned that the Office of Management & Budget has asked FHA to (at least) hold off on implementing this program. [...]

   No way, I was so excited we finally had to tool that came to the consumer to stimulate the economy. Something that could actually help us get people into homes. Then BAM it is gone. This just make so much sense to me to help the people on the fence looking for a few more dollars. Pres. Obama with all respect, please bring this one back.

   This is a great tool; thank you for making it available to us.
   However! The quality of the flyer is not good, the light blue type is
   faded and blurry which makes copying a nice flyer not possible…
   I only have Reader, so in order to personalize I have to copy the whole
   flyer as an image and paste to Publisher where I can manipulate it and
   put my information in the corner. Does anyone have a better way? How can
   I improve the quality of the .pdf?

   Thanks!

   Yeahhhh! Talk about a shot in the arm. I’ve been waiting for this to materialize since the HUD announcement. This is a great tool for first-time buyers. I expect that we will be VERY busy in July-Oct with buyers trying to buy and be under contract prior to the December 1 sunset.

   This is a big deal and all first time home buyers should move quickly to take advantage of this gift. It can mean a real equity boost for new homeowners.
