Important FHA Update – Effective May 25, 2025

Heads up, y’all — HUD just released new FHA guidelines that tighten up who’s eligible for FHA-insured mortgages.

What’s changed?
FHA will no longer allow non-permanent residents to qualify for FHA-insured loans. Only U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, and certain citizens of Micronesia, the Marshall Islands, and Palau are eligible moving forward.

What this means:
If your buyers aren’t lawful permanent residents, they will no longer be eligible for FHA financing on new case numbers issued on or after May 25, 2025.

This applies to both forward and reverse mortgages.

Got questions? I’m happy to break it down for your clients and help navigate what this means for their loan options. Let’s make sure no one gets blindsided by this policy shift!

He is risen—Hallelujah!

Wishing you and your loved ones a joyful and peaceful Easter Sunday.
May this sacred day be a reminder of the hope we have in Christ, the beauty of renewal, and the promise of new life.

“He is not here; He has risen, just as He said.” — Matthew 28:6

Whether you’re gathered in a pew, around a table, or holding space in quiet reflection—may you feel His presence and peace today and always.

Happy Easter, friends. May your heart be full and your spirit renewed.

— Chris
