Mortgage professionals, this is really important!
The 2024 Legislative session has concluded and FAMP had lots of success in Tallahassee. However, one issue remains and we need your help ASAP. SB 770 expands the current PACE loan program to include septic systems, landscaping, drainage, seawalls, and many other home improvements. This expansion will likely result in more Florida homeowners going upside down on bad loans that take lien priority over mortgages, but must be paid off in full before a home is sold or refinanced. Previous versions of the bill contained a crucial protection, capping the loan to value at 97%. During the last week of Legislative Session, this crucial consumer protection was removed.
We urge the Governor to VETO this bill and direct the Legislature to protect Florida homeowners from these predatory products without expanding the program. Take action now!
