            <title>Bank of America Back in Business on Foreclosures</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
That was quicker than I thought, it was just&nbsp;2 weeks ago that they had halted foreclosures due to the Robo Signing scandal. Bank of America has resubmitted affidavits in 102,000&nbsp;foreclosures in 23 states. This would allow them to resume foreclosures in those states.

They plan&nbsp;on resuming foreclosures in the remaining 27 states as soon as it completes the review&nbsp;of the foreclosure process in each one of those states.&nbsp;According to a bank spokesperson the basis for the fo... ]]> </description>

            <title>Reno Foreclosures to be halted</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
Bank of America announced last week they will be halting foreclosures in all 50 states while they investigate their pending foreclosures for fraud. Apparently they have been engaging in something you have probably heard about called &quot;Robo Signing&quot;, which basically means bank employees forged notarized documents to accelerate the foreclosure process.

The arrogance by which these banks have operated throughout this foreclosure process is appalling. What does this mean for the average b... ]]> </description>

FHA Changes effective October 4, 2010: What's it really mean to the average buyer?

The good: FHA has maintained a miniumum 3.5% down payment.

More Good:The up front mortgage insurance premium&nbsp;(ufmip) has been reduced from 2.25% of your loan amount down to 1%. This amount is not actually collected upfront, but rather financed back into your loan. The lower this is, the lower your final loan amount is.

The Bad: The monthly mortgage insurance, or annual premium as FHA calls them is going f... ]]> </description>

            <title>Senate Extends Tax Credit for another 3 months</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
The key here is you have to have been in contract by April 30 of this year. If you were, they are giving you until September 30 of this year to close and take advantage of the $8000 tax credit for first time home buyers and $6500 credit for homebuyers who are buying a new primary residence.

The first tax credit that was to expire June 30 of this year has caused some back log with buyers trying to meet that deadline. This new deadline to September 30 should give everyone some breathing room.

It doesn&rsquo;t really matter what side of the political fence you sit on, there&rsquo;s no denying that the new stimulus bill offers good news for potential home buyers.&nbsp; The way I see it, there are two specific portions of this bill that impact buyers most directly:
