Contact us today if you need to get an appraisal done on an FHA-insured loan. An FHA loan is underwritten by the Federal Housing Administration, a federal organization that is a part of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). None of the money in the loan is provided by the FHA; what the FHA does is ensure that the loan is taken care of in case the borrower defaults on his or her loan obligations. The FHA and their loan programs are created to help low-to-moderate income purchasers help meet credit expectations if they otherwise would not. The rates on FHA loans are generally market rates, while down payment requirements are lower than for conventional loans. Buyers with lower income or less starting capital to use as a down-payment on a mortgage are helped the most from FHA loan programs. |
