1. Mortgage insurance premium (MIP) will be increased to build up capital reserves and bring back private lending.
2. Update the combination of FICO scores and down payments for new borrowers.
3. Reduce allowable seller concessions from 6% to 3%.
4 .Increase enforcement on FHA lenders. See the HUD website Announcement.
