Will this ONLY apply to new loans-—or are they adjusting EXISTING loans????

I would think that IF I have a FIXED loan rate-—it must sty FIXED.

"Under the revised LLPA pricing structure, a home buyer with a 740 FICO credit score and a 15% to 20% down payment will face a 1% surcharge – an increase of 0.750%"

Well, this is ironic...

I had no credit score. So, I put money down on a secured card and built up to 740. Now, I'll have to pay a surcharge for having a higher score.

This is how things work in Biden’s America, that’s for sure.

“who else has decided to put off buying a home until this insanity passes?”

And there probably are some people who have mortgages, financially are able to pay them off, and will do exactly that.

This is another example of weaponized government. You won’t find anything in the constitution that gives any branch any power related to mortgages or housing. Let’s get back to some financial sanity and shutter and defund every part of the federal that has been weaponized against citizens.

I opted out of the consumer debt racket a few years ago. When I last checked, my credit score was under 100. Guess I’m going to get me some subsidies to buy my next $500K house. . .

So I asked my daughter what this mortgage thing reminded her of.

Without skipping a beat she said “that penny game”.

What about people who have no credit score at all? I’m talking about people who don’t take out loans or use credit cards. Are they affected by this policy?

We are definitely well on the road to having people's "excess" retirement savings seized (such as 401k's) in order to re-allocate to those who never saved for retirement at all.

The government shall decide how much retirement savings you are allowed to have when you retire. For example, if you saved $1.2 million, you may have $800K taken from your account and put into a pool for others "less fortunate" to share. You will be told that $400K is all you need, thank you very much.

I used to think the above scenario would never happen in America, but here we are.

you can rest assured that it will creep to existing mortgages and the loan threshold will go much, much lower.
