Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What is an FHA loan?
A: An FHA loan is a real estate mortgage. The mortgage is insured by FHA. Since the FHA insures these mortgages, lenders can work with borrowers even when they’ve had credit problems, accounts forwarded to collections, past bankruptcy filings, or debt-to-income ratios that are higher than normally allowed.
Q: Can I get an FHA Mortgage?
A: Many more people qualify for FHA mortgages than for traditional mortgages. To find out if you qualify, speak with our affiliate FHA Mortgage Specialists. They’ll be able to provide a definite answer, quickly.
Q: What if I have “bad credit”?
A: “Bad credit” is a very misleading term. We’ve worked with many people who described themselves as having “bad credit” – but who are now homeowners. The truth is, there are no hard and fast credit score requirements for an FHA loan. If you’re concerned about your credit score, it’s best to speak to our representatives directly. We have programs that can accommodate credit scores starting in the high 400s.
Q: Even if I’ve filed bankruptcy?
A: Yes. You may be able to get an FHA loan even if you’ve filed for bankruptcy in the past.
Q: Which houses/properties qualify?
A: Single family houses, duplexes, triplexes, 1-4 unit primary residences, Planned Urban Developments (PUDs), approved condominiums, double-wide manufactured homes, and modular or pre-cut housing are all eligible.
Q: Isn’t it harder for houses to qualify for an FHA mortgage than a traditional mortgage?
A: As of January of 2006, FHA has eliminated most of the barriers to a property qualifying. Generally, if a home is in good enough condition to qualify for a traditional mortgage, it will also qualify for an FHA mortgage.
