FHFA Expands Appraisal Waivers: Impact on PMI & Rising ITIN Loan Fraud!

  • Summary

  • In this episode, we explore key mortgage industry updates impacting buyers, lenders, and PMI companies. Starting with the FHFA’s recent expansion of appraisal waivers, we discuss the potential benefits and drawbacks, looking at how it may streamline the homebuying process and what it means for property valuations and PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) companies. Discover insights into how appraisal waivers may reshape the mortgage process, reducing costs and time, yet introducing potential risks in underwriting. Next, we focus on the concerning rise in mortgage fraud tied to ITIN loans (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number loans). As ITIN loans become more common for homeownership opportunities, we highlight the types of fraud affecting these loans, how lenders and buyers can protect themselves, and why this trend matters for the broader real estate market.
