FHA issues revised Downpayment requirements and more information on DPA

What is happening today in mortgage lending:

Down Payment Assistant Programs
HUD has eliminated Seller paid Down Payment Assistant Programs as of Oct.1 2008. Down payment assistant programs are acceptable to HUD as long as they do not come from the seller or anyone involved in the sales transaction. I recently have been reading about the American Dream Down payment initiative which is available in all states. However in my research it appears some states do get more money than others. Here is a link to this program and a link to all Homeownership Assistance programs approved by HUD in Utah.
