This is great news regarding the moratorium on the anti-flipping rule.
Hopefully this will incentivise even more investors to purchase these homes at auction and then resell them at a market rate to a financed buyers.
Before this change in our area, many of the flipped homes were going to buy and hold investors at a discount and most of the REO homes were going to cash and high down conventional buyers, at the exclusion of FHA buyers.
The banks seem more motivated by expediance and moving a file off their desk, than they are by the bottom line. I suspect that investors who purchase homes at trustee sales to flip will be more motivated by the bottom line and will therefore consider a higher offer from a pre-approved FHA buyer over a lower offer from a cash or conventional investor.

Lani, interesting blog post at
frontporchrepublic.com/2010/01/the-politics-of-ingratitude/
by John Médaille, a Catholic theology instructor and real estate agent.
Excerpt:
“This attitude of “socialism for me and capitalism for thee” is widespread. I am a member of the Real Estate profession, and I reckon that 99.79% of my colleagues are ardent believers in the “free market.” They also demand that the government support the housing market. Indeed, few markets are as government-dependent as is the housing market, and Realtors divide their free time into complaining about government interference and demanding more government support”
This is exactly the thing that drives me crazy about AgentGenius and the real estate profession in general.

Surprising news. Fantastic data. In my region, property sales even has stuck for two years.

The biggest problem is the fact that we think the banks are too big to fail, yet it was their poor screening that allowed so many homes to be sold to people who cannot afford them.
