Romney Boosts FHA VA Mortgage Interest Ceiling
The government increases the FHA and VA loan interest ceiling from 7.2 to 8.2 percent effective next Monday. Secretary George Romney says market conditions forced the move to ease scarce mortgage funds, while Rep. Wright Patman calls it irresponsible and pushes for Fed-backed mortgage purchases at 6 percent. The action follows a year of rising rates with lenders charging 7 to 9 percent and points, often passed to buyers. The Mortgage Bankers Association welcomed the increase. the National Association of Home Builders condemned it as insufficient. Page 2 awaits.
