Expert Source Available to Comment on President's Subprime Mortgage Proposal

San Mateo, Calif. (PRWEB) September 13, 2007 -- In response to President George Bush's proposal to manage the U.S. mortgage lending crisis, Bills.com (www.bills.com) co-founder and co-CEO Andrew Housser is available to comment on the impact of the FHASecure program on homeowners as well as the FHA's new mortgagee letter detailing the proposal.

?    Qualifying borrowers for the FHASecure program

?    Criteria for qualification

?    Challenges to qualifying (including debt-to-income rations, appraised values, geographic limits)

?    Pending legislation

?    Steps homeowners can take to evaluate their mortgages and resolve mortgage problems

"While better than nothing, the FHASecure proposal's measures will help only a very small percentage of troubled mortgages," said Housser. "As of last year, up to 7.5 million subprime mortgages were outstanding; more than 2 million of them will be put in potential foreclosure risk by the end of 2008 as rates adjust."

Bush has proposed changing Federal Housing Administration (FHA) mortgage lending rules to allow homeowners to refinance their mortgages into low, fixed-rate FHA (government-insured) mortgages if they have missed loan payments. The FHASecure program would only apply to borrowers who missed payments because of a recent spike in adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) interest rates that caused their total payments to jump - and who were current in payments before the re-set.

"This latest proposal will help some people on the margin, but there needs to be a correction in the market - and the government will not be able to help every person who is overextended," said Housser. Homeowners have ignored the process of evaluating the right type of loan for their budget too long, he added. "The fact remains that many people with subprime mortgages are in homes they couldn't afford and shouldn't have purchased in the first place."
