The automotive market is collapsing. Consumers are having a very difficult time making the minimum monthly car payment. Repossession numbers of cars are skyrocketing. Inventory of new cars is stockpiling to historic levels. One in five consumers is getting denied car loans. Nobody is buying pickup trucks, SUVs, and higher-priced vehicles. Car interest rates are 7% to over 10%, depending on your credit score. And Kamala Harris is saying that Joe Biden fixed our economy? Did Bidenomics work, and will she continue? What a liar. The economy sucks. There is an economic collapse coming our way. A huge recession will come in the coming months: housing, car, and stock market crash.

Can you please explain in detail what is the NAR Settlement for 2024? How will the NAR Settlement affect realtors? What is the ruling against the National Realtors Association? Who is going to benefit and receive money from the NAR settlement? Walk me Through August 17th, Buyers Now Pay Their Realtor’s Commissions. I started reading more into the August 17th 2024 date where suddenly homebuyers now pay the buyer real estate agent. Home sellers are only responsible to pay their seller real estate agent. As someone who plans to be both a seller and a buyer sometime in the near future, I am interested in both sides of this. This is really complicated and many real estate agents think they will be out of business. Maybe there are no real answers yet, but I want to hear other’s thoughts.

First-time homebuyers and loan officers. Have you hear of EPM DOWN-PAYMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM? Equity Prime Mortgage has a forgiveable down-payment assistance program on FHA loans where the down payment of 3.5% is covered as a second mortgage but it is forgiveable after six months. What does forgiveable mean on DPA programs? Forgiveable means that after a certain period of time, if you sell the house or you refinance out of the FHA EPM DPA loan, you do not have to pay the DPA loan of the 3.5% back. The maximum debt-to-income ratio is 48.99% front-end and 48.99% back-end. The EPM DOWN-PAYMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM is borrower paid transaction. Therefore, you need to get a 6% seller concession for you to get into a house with no money down and with no closing costs or little closing costs. In most cases, there is no down payment or closing costs. The EPM DPA Mortgage Program is availble on FHA loans in standard areas and high-cost counties like many counties in California. Here is an article I wrote about the EPM Down Payment Program. People that qualify are first-time homebuyers, homebuyers who are first-responders, teachers, veterans, and professionals in the medical field, and homebuyers who earn a certain amount of income based on their county:

If you lend in California? Are you aware of Prop. 19 Property Taxes? Do you qualify FHA loans, based on Prop. 19 property taxes? When a senior over age 55 sells her home, and purchases her next home, she can carry her current base property tax rate to her new house, thereby helping a lot to qualify for the loan. There is a calculation and explanation at this government. I will most certainly qualify for Prop. 19. The lender will also have to gross up my non-taxable part of my social security income in order to make the income better. This is legally allowed. 33% of my social security income is non-taxable, therefore, this percentage can be grossed up by 1.25% (I think this is the percentage). This makes a difference. Normally, lenders qualify by taking 1.25% property tax in calculations, however, that amount is very high and when it gets added to monthly payment, then the DTI is not met. For example, on a $615,000 home, with a loan of $304,000, the property tax (1.25%) is $651 per month. With Prop. 19 calculations, it comes to only $482.33. This makes a big difference in cases like mine who is trying to qualify for the highest price home possible based on my income. Last question – does the house I am purchasing have to meet FHA loan criteria? Before I go further, I was wondering if you are aware of Prop. 19 and grossing up income? I will try calling you next week.
