FHA Suspends TBW–TBW Shuts Down
On Tuesday, the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) suspended Taylor Bean Whitaker (TBW) from originating or underwriting mortgage loans for FHA.
“The FHA said in a written statement that TBW is the third largest direct endorsement lender of FHA-insured loans and the eighth largest issuer of Ginne Mae mortgage-backed securities.”
According to the Wall Street Journal’s report on Tuesday, Taylor Bean failed to submit a required annual financial report and to disclose to the FHA “certain irregular transactions that raised concerns of fraud.”
TBW was shut down on Wednesday and approximately 1000 employees found themselves out of work. This closure will have a significant impact on both mortgage brokers and borrowers seeking FHA financing.
