SUPER happy the DTI adjustment was rescinded.  Unfortunately, the LLPA adjustments for FICO/LTV are still in place : /

I hope MBA can keep up the good work and continue to pressure FHFA until the LLPA adjustments are rolled back as well.

Hi Caroline Gerardo 

  With respect, the Federal Government never "listens".  They have simply retreated and regrouped.  They are planning their next attack.

Congrats and thanks for your hard work. This is a step in the right direction and hopefully they will rescind all the LLPA changes. I saw that even NAR is working on this so there may be hope...

I read that yesterday and sent up several cheers! But I have to agree with Fred Griffin... I suspect they'll be back with some other idiocy that no one is expecting.
