What is an FHA loan?

• Federal Housing Administration (FHA) Loans are insured by Housing and Urban Development (HUD) which allows lenders to offer low down payment loans to homebuyers.

• FHA insures loans for first time home buyer mortgage loan, FHA streamline refinance, FHA regular refinance, Cash-out refinance and also home purchase by people who are NOT first time home buyers.

What is an FHA loan?

• FHA however doesn’t provide loan directly. • A borrower needs to work with an FHA approved

lender like Arcus Lending to qualify for the home purchase or refinance loan.

Page 8: FHA Loans- The Basics

What are the requirements?

• Property must be owner occupied.• Available for 1-4 units houses including single family

residence, town-homes, condominiums and even manufactured homes.

Page 9: FHA Loans- The Basics

What are the requirements?

• Impound account is required on all FHA loans.• As part of impound account, payment for property

taxes and home insurance are broken down into monthly payments and are paid to the lender along with mortgage payments every month. The lender then makes a payment directly to county or your home insurance company when its due.

FHA Requirements Continued

• A two years employment history is required. However, if you went to school immediately prior to starting your employment, the school years can be counted towards “two years” requirement as long as your job is in the same field as your education.

• You should have enough income to meet the maximum debt to income ratio requirement of 43%. In some cases, that ratio can be allowed to as high as 50%.

FHA Requirements Continued

• Upfront mortgage insurance (UFMIP) of 1.75% and annual mortgage insurance of 0.45% – 1.55% is required on all FHA loans.

• FHA offers 30 year fixed, 15 year fixed and 5 year ARM loan

Note: (this is not an exhaustive guideline and a particular lender may even have their own set of guidelines)

What are the loan limits?

• For 2013, the FHA national “floor” loan limit for 1 unit house is $271,050. This means that all counties in the country will at least have this as their loan limit.

What are the loan limits?

• FHA also classified several counties as “high-cost” meaning the loan limits in those counties are higher than $271,050. The maximum loan limits in some counties can be as high as $729,750 and in other counties it’s between the floor i.e. $271,050 and the highest loan limit i.e. $729,750.
