The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) does not directly make loans to borrowers but rather provides insurance on loans made by government approved FHA lenders. FHA-insured mortgages can be obtained for single-family, multi-family, manufactured and mobile homes.
FHA loans differ from conventional loans in a number of ways. The down payment required for a FHA loan is much lower than a conventional mortgage, and can even be a gift from a family member or an approved down payment assistance program. FHA loans also have lower credit requirenments than conventional loans, making then more available to a wider range of potential homebuyers.
Refinance with the FHA
- Use the great flexibility of the 95% cash-out refinance of the FHA to get cash to pay off higher-interest debts.
- If you have ad ARM that is adjusting upwards, you can refinance your mortgage up to 97% of your home's value.
- Even if you are facing foreclosure there is a FHA program for you. "HOPE for Homeowners" allows borrowers to refinance their existing mortgage into a 30 year fixed mortgage, even if they are upside down in their current mortgage.
New higher loan amounts across the country
- The FHA recently raised the loan limit on FHA loans across the country and that's good news for you. For example, in San Francisco, the FHA loan limit went from $362,790 to $729,750. "This gives additional options for refinancing and purchasing a home."
