Excellent Service
Bill is an exceptional loan officer. He helped us to purchase our home with very personal and professional service. He helped us navigate the whole process from start to closing without any problems. We didn't think we're qualified to purchase a house, but Bill went above and beyond to find a way to help us achieve our goal. He always responded very quickly with our requests, he would come back with different options with comparison chart to clearly indicate how much we need for down payment, monthly payments, interest rates, closing costs etc.
We would highly recommend Bill to anyone in need of lending services. In fact, we have already recommended Bill to one of our friends on purchasing a house.

Bill Rapp Will Definitely Make It Happen!
Bill is the most kind, patient and helpful person I have ever known. He answers his phone calls and emails promptly. You can ask him a million questions, and he will answer each and every one of them. Before I started working with Bill, I had been turned down for a home loan, because of some past credit issues I had, plus I was a single mother. However, once I started working with Bill, he was able to quickly get me a home loan, with a good interest rate. I would recommend that you call him, as he will help you.

He really go to the ends of the earth to help you!

I really liked his attitude!
I wouldn't usually say this but the way he had handled my mortgage was really pleasant. I personally enjoyed the time spent with him while we discussed feasible rates. He's a great man with a great personality and he offered really low interests as well. Definitely recommend him to others.
--- Tom Troiano - Atlantic City, NJ
He's nothing short of a miracle!
I'm a self-employed businessman and had him figure out the mortgage of the house after 30% down payment. The interest rates I received were incredibly low given what I had thought of earlier. One other important thing to note was that I hadn't really taken any loans earlier, so I had no credit history. He helped me out with all that as well so I can't really call him anything else but a miracle.
--- Fran Suarez - Cleveland, OH
He's really helpful!
I made a bid to him and the very same day he gave me an offer which I couldn't resist. It was too intimidating with those incredibly low interest rates and all, thoroughly recommend him.
--- Kenny Mickle - Houston, TX

Bill was very expeditious and made it real easy going through the loan process. I felt he was on top of things.
I deal with investment properties and will more than likely call on him again.

Bill was great!
Bill made us feel like a friend all the way thru the process. He was patient and explained everything he needed clearly. He was available ANYTIME we had questions or needed more information. Hopefully we won’t go thru this process again anytime soon, but if we do - we’d choose Bill! =)
--- Barbra & Nick Grimmer - Austin, TX
Great broker!
Bill was a great broker to work with. As first time home buyers we had many questions about the process, Bill took the time to help us even calling us back on weekends with answers. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a broker to work with.
--- Murray & Lisa Turner - Pensacola, FL
Outstanding service!
I couldn't have been more pleased with Bill's level of service. He made what is typically a lengthy, arduous process far quicker and easier at every turn. I'm extremely comfortable recommending Bill to friends and family, and will definitely utilize his services again!

FHA 203 H Loan Product
The Section 203(h) program allows the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) to insure mortgages made by qualified lenders to victims of a major disaster who have lost their homes and are in the process of rebuilding or buying another home.
Purpose:
Through Section 203(h), the Federal Government helps victims in Presidentially designated disaster areas recover by making it easier for them to get mortgages and become homeowners or re-establish themselves as homeowners.
Type of Assistance:
This program provides mortgage insurance to protect lenders against the risk of default on mortgages to qualified disaster victims. Individuals are eligible for this program if their homes are located in an area that was designated by the President as a disaster area and if their homes were destroyed or damaged to such an extent that reconstruction or replacement is necessary. Insured mortgages may be used to finance the purchase or reconstruction of a one-family home that will be the principal residence of the homeowner. Like the basic FHA mortgage insurance program it resembles (Section 203(b) Mortgage Insurance for One to Four Family Homes), Section 203(h) offers features that make recovery from a disaster easier for homeowners:
No down payment is required. The borrower is eligible for 100 percent financing. Closing costs and prepaid expenses must be paid by the borrower in cash or paid through premium pricing or by the seller, subject to a 6 percent limitation on seller concessions.
FHA mortgage insurance is not free. Mortgagees collect from the borrowers an up-front insurance premium (which may be financed) at the time of purchase, as well as monthly premiums that are not financed, but instead are added to the regular mortgage payment.
HUD sets limits on the amount that may be insured. To make sure that its programs serve low and moderate income people, FHA sets limits on the dollar value of the mortgage. The current FHA mortgage limit can be viewed online. These figures vary over time and by place, depending on the cost of living and other factors (higher limits also exist for two to four family properties).
Eligible Customers:
Anyone whose home has been destroyed or severely damaged in a Presidentially declared disaster area is eligible to apply for mortgage insurance under this program.
Application:
The borrower's application for mortgage insurance must be submitted to the lender within one year of the President's declaration of the disaster. Applications are made through an FHA approved lending institution, who make their requests through a provision known as "Direct Endorsement," which authorizes them to consider applications without submitting paperwork to HUD. Mortgage insurance processing and administration for this and other FHA single family mortgage insurance products are handled through HUD's Homeownership Centers.
🔍 Investigation Sparks Leadership Change at HHA 🏢
🚨 CEO Resignation Amid HHA Probe: Key Updates 🏠
💡 Transparency Wins: Houston Housing Authority Update 🏢
The Houston Housing Authority (HHA) has found itself in the spotlight amid leadership changes and mounting scrutiny over its practices. David Northern, who served as president and CEO since February 2022, resigned this week in the wake of an investigation into his duties and decision-making. Let’s break down the story and what it could mean for Houston’s housing future.
Northern’s resignation comes with a severance package of six months’ salary and health insurance. His departure follows a period of intense scrutiny, including an investigation into HHA’s contracting practices and Northern’s performance. The investigation also looked into whether Northern fulfilled his fiduciary duties.
Adding to the tension, federal agents recently tested soil samples at The Pointe at Bayou Bend, an HHA property near a contaminated incinerator site in the East End. This raised questions about past leadership decisions, with Mayor John Whitmire calling the project’s location a mistake and accusing HHA of withholding critical information from its board.
With Northern stepping down, Jennine Hovell-Cox, HHA’s general counsel, has been appointed interim president and CEO. Mayor Whitmire expressed confidence in the board's efforts to bring transparency and accountability to the organization. This leadership shake-up follows Whitmire’s earlier move to replace five of the seven HHA board members earlier this year.
This isn’t the first time HHA has faced criticism. Last year, questions arose about its use of Public Facility Corporations (PFCs), which enable tax breaks for affordable housing properties. However, a Houston Chronicle analysis revealed that only 1% of these tax-exempt units served low-income residents. The authority was also found to have missed out on millions of dollars in project fees.
The resignation of David Northern signals a potential turning point for the HHA. With new leadership in place and ongoing investigations, Houston residents and stakeholders will be watching closely to see how the authority addresses past missteps and rebuilds trust.
The housing challenges facing the city—from homelessness to affordable housing shortages—require a transparent and strategic approach. As Houston continues to grow, ensuring accountability within the HHA will be crucial for meeting the needs of its most vulnerable populations.
