Bankrate.com - "'Anti-flipping' rules can hurt investors" (6-14-06)

"Other stipulations of the so-called "anti-flipping" regulations are aimed primarily at quick resale of new homes. They state that only the owner of record may sell to a person obtaining FHA mortgage insurance for the loan. In other words, the arrangement can't involve the sale or assignment of a sales contract on a property. If a resale does occur between 91 and 180 days, the lender can be forced to obtain a second appraisal based on a resale threshold percentage established by the FHA. For example, if the home price rose by more than 50 percent within a five-month period, the FHA could ask for the new, independent appraisal."
