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 agency that is a part of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The FHA does not loan capital to borrowers, rather, it provides lending organizations with safety by offering mortgage insurance in case the borrower defaults on his or her financial obligations. The FHA and their loan programs are built to help low-to-moderate income consumers help meet credit requirements if they otherwise would not. Down payments are often lower with an FHA loan despite using conventional market rates. Purchasers with lower income or less starting funds to use as a down-payment on a loan benefit the most from FHA loan programs. |
