Home Builders give Hopeful Buyers Financial Therapy<\/p><\/div>\n

Home builders are conducting financial boot camps to help buyers qualify for home mortgages.<\/h3>\n

Home builders<\/strong>\u00a0such as D.R. Horton Inc., Lennar, and PulteGroup Inc. are offering financial programs about repairing credit scores, creating budgets, and applying for loans to hopeful home buyers who are struggling to qualify for loans nowadays.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese fiscal rehabs are one reason many\u00a0Home builders<\/em> are boosting sales, even though mortgage lending is tight,\u201d Reuters reports.<\/p>\n

For example,\u00a0Home builders<\/span> like D.R. Horton and Lennar have employed financial advisers that are helping potential home buyers with repairing their credit and developing strategies to help raise their credit scores. The buyers who go through the \u201cfinancial bootcamps\u201d are then typically able to get a mortgage from the builders\u2019 in-house lending connections.<\/p>\n

Some are leery about the financial bootcamps, however. Critics say that builders are helping buyers obtain government-backed loans that require no or low down payments.<\/p>\n

“You have people applying for loans that there’s no way they can pay, but it doesn’t matter because the ability to repay isn’t the basis of the loan. It’s the ability to pass underwriting so the loan can be sold,” Brett Weiss, a bankruptcy attorney in Washington, D.C., told Reuters.<\/p>\n

However,\u00a0Home builders argue that the home buyers who go through their financial programs must still meet stringent underwriting standards for the government loans, and they insist that they are not putting people in homes they cannot afford. The builders say that buyers with enough cash and income actually are able to lower their monthly housing costs by buying a home than renting, since mortgage rates are so low and housing affordability so high.<\/p>\n
