WARNING! |  |
HVCC & YOU!
On May 1, 2009 the HVCC was initiated
throughout the Country on every mortgage transaction that
involves an appraisal that is sold to Fannie Mae and Freddie
Mac. This involves all conventional loans which prior to the
present meltdown was approximately 70% of all lending. With
the banking system crippled, conventional loans seized up
and nearly came to a halt. Presently, the conventional
mortgage market is still trying to get back on its feet
albeit very slowly and cautiously. Then there is the HVCC.
The HVCC came about due to pressure put on an appraisal
management company called eAppraiseIT by a large mortgage
lender Washington Mutual in the State of New York. The
Attorney General of New York created the HVCC. To stay out
of litigation (even though not directly involved), the
appellant in the case (The State of New York) arranged to
have Fannie Mae (FNMA) sign an agreement that all loans
placed through FNMA & Freddie Mac would have to adhere to
this new HVCC.
“We knew this was causing extreme hardship to the industry,
but we didn’t expect to get thousands of horror stories from
would-be homebuyers whose dreams have been dashed by this
well-intended, but misguided policy. Every day thousands of
people are getting the rug yanked out from under them in
their quest to become homeowners because of HVCC. You only
need to go to our petition website to read the stories for
yourself,” said Kearns. READ MORE... |
