🏛️As you have likely heard, the government did shut down last night. If you are wondering how this might affect business in the mortgage world, I hope the following provides some helpful guidance.
⏳IRS - tax transcripts delays for income verifications
🏡FHA /VA- expect delays with case number assignments and any appraisal reviews .
🥃FEDERAL EMPLOYEE - significant impact as they are being furloughed without immediate pay .
🍷This shutdown creates uncertainty primarily around federal employee income qualification and government verification . Unlike the 2018-2019 shutdown, this one comes amid significant federal workforce restructuring, which adds unpredictability to agency operations.
