Does anyone know about the FHA Modernization Act of 2007 and if it is supposed to simplify becoming an approved FHA broker? My company is only 9 months old and we don't have $63,000 sitting in our account, so I was hoping the bill would address this and just make me increase my Surety Bond. Any help or info would be appreciated.

After being rushed into discussion, that bill has been completely stalled now. They don't plan to act upon it until January after the election, because it was nothing more than a ploy by Barney Frank to get votes.

You'll be waiting awhile.

I think you only need $12,000 something liquid. The rest you can pledge your own assets like cars, homes etc. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Can the $12K be personal as well, stocks, CD's, etc...? I'm cool if that's the case but someone told me today the assets had to be business assets and not personal and I was hoping he was wrong.

Thanks, I guess I'll transfer the funds into the business account and let it sit for a while.

I do, it seems like it may be the only way I, or any other broker shop, will be able to survive; getting set up FHA that is.
