To amend the National Housing Act to restrict the collection of annual mortgage insurance premiums when a 78 percent loan-to value ratio is reached, and for other purposes.

Bill 118 hr 10498, also known as the National Housing Act Amendment, aims to make changes to the way annual mortgage insurance premiums are collected under the National Housing Act. The main focus of the bill is to restrict the collection of these premiums once a 78 percent loan-to-value ratio is reached. This means that once a homeowner has paid off 78 percent of their mortgage, they would no longer be required to pay annual mortgage insurance premiums.

The bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to the National Housing Act. These additional purposes are not specified in the summary, but could potentially include changes to how mortgage insurance premiums are calculated, requirements for mortgage lenders, or other regulations related to housing and mortgages.

Overall, the goal of Bill 118 hr 10498 is to provide relief to homeowners who have reached a significant milestone in paying off their mortgage by eliminating the burden of annual mortgage insurance premiums once a 78 percent loan-to-value ratio is achieved. This could potentially save homeowners money and make homeownership more affordable for many Americans.
