Although I’m sure there are other zip codes that are also considered distressed, I’m not being asked to put down at least 15% in the other neighborhoods I’m considering – just North Park.
Thanks for clarifying that. Just wanted to see how local the lenders are getting.

Personally, I think that we should get rid of FHA, VA, Cal Vet, and the GSEs. If financing is expensive, prices of houses will adjust downward automatically. Why have all the bureaucracies when the markets can take care of themselves?

Amen.
The current housing insanity started in the 1960’s with FHA.
Whenever the government gets involved in free markets (FHA, VA, GSEs, etc) they f*ck them up.
If you do the research you will find that all these govt programs that are intended to make housing more affordable have actually made it LESS affordable.

I was told that the lender uses an independent third party who makes the designations.
