Green says that the fees consumers pay now are 50 basis points. They used to be approximately 11-13 basis points. One basis point is equal to one-tenth of one percent. So 100 basis points equals one percentage point increase in interest rates. He believes they could rise to 70 to 75 basis point in the next year.

Qualified-mortgage rules limit borrowers to a debt to income ratio of at least 43 percent. This means that borrowers may not be eligible for loans if they have higher mortgage rates or higher fees.

Zugheri claims that the new regulations and increased expectations of compliance with rules set by Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac are affecting some borrowers more than others. This includes consumers with low- or moderate incomes.

Zugheri states that if you have poor credit or if your income is not clearly defined, if your assets are difficult to verify, or a home that is worth less than its value, it will be hard for you to get credit.

Doug Benner, vice-president and sales manager at 1st Portfolio Lending, Rockville, said that the strict line of requiring a minimum debt-to-income ratio (43%) will make it more difficult for self-employed borrowers with trouble documenting their income.

Benner states that it is difficult to obtain a loan if you don’t have proof of income (a W-2), but data shows that more people are self-employed and contract workers, so they should be eligible for loans.
