Josh, Great job in helping shed some light on a very hot topic. It is great news for the investor and the home buyer…not all are greedy as they are made out to be. I personally know several flippers that serve a valuable purpose. Many home buyers can not afford to make the repairs after purchasing the property. This way after the property is flipped the homewoner is financing the entire purcahse including the repairs into the loan and is a win ..win for all. Now for you sckeptics out there that are thinking this is not right, take in to consideration that the appraisals which have become very strict on values will help determine if the value with improvements is really worth it. Now if we can just get the banks to shorten the processing time on “short sales” we REALTORS may regain our sanity.

Great Article. I am also a RE/MAX agent in AZ. This rule change is to be in effect for 1 year, but only some of the banks are adopting it. The waiver is voluntary I have discovered. Non-FHA underwriting can/will still observe the 90 day window… another example of the work that still remains to reverse the pendulum in the real estate industry. Thanks for the great article and insights Josh.
