FHA to require tighter regulations for mortgage brokers

Mortgage Insurer Turns to Lenders to Police Brokers 
 The Federal Housing Administration, the government agency that insures a bigger and bigger portion of home loans, plans to rely more heavily on lenders to police mortgage brokers.The changes will put more of the onus on lenders to make sure there is no fraud or faulty underwriting in the loans they fund, and less on the FHA.
