I think it's important for those who don't know the difference between FHA and FNMA/FHMLC loans to understand.

Soooo, your conventional loans (Fannie and Freddie) represent 82% of market share, while your VA and FHA represent 18%. It's a bullshite bailout proposition, but it's impact isn't as great as one would think.

Personally, when I was lending, if someone wanted an FHA loan, I would suggest they go to another lender. I did not want to frick with the additional 3 inches of paperwork.

It's more than enough to affect prices on a larger scale. When bubbles pop, they don't start with a major event typically. Issues arise in smaller areas and those effects work their way up.

If 18% of the market had a 10% decline in value, that's going to have a major impact for all loans/areas.
