Good news: It got slightly easier to get a #mortgage between Q2 and Q3 2017: Our Housing Credit Availability Index (HCAI) rose from 5.1 to 5.6% = highest since 2013.

Still, much room for more easing: the HCAI could double & we'd still be fine. https://t.co/UdebcDa8W4

MT @TheSamKhater: Barry Zigas @zigassoc says there’s an inside game & outside game to FHA reform. The inside game = how to ensure FHA has modern architecture and infrastructure. The outside game = more compelling, revolves around what is the role of FHA in housing? #LiveAtUrban

Our recommendations for improving .@FHAgov modifications when interest rates are rising. Seem like common sense! #LiveAtUrban

[Laurie Goodman @MortgageLaurie]

To strengthen .@FHAgov:

1. Remove uncertainty created by False Claims Act: Improve certification & implement defect taxonomy

2. Reduce cost & complexity of servicing troubled loans: Allow unified timelines, reform conveyance & expand toolkit when rates rise
