FHA HOME LOANS
WHAT IS FHA
FHA loan is a federal assistance mortgage loan in the United States
insured by the Federal Housing Housing Administration. The loan may
be issued by federally qualified lenders.
FHA loans have historically allowed lower income Americans to
borrow money for the purchase of a home that they would not
otherwise be able to afford. The program originated during the Great
Depression of the 1930, when the rates of foreclosures and defaults
rose sharply, and the program was intended to provide lenders with
sufficient insurance. Some FHA programs were subsidized by
government, but the goal was to make it self-supporting, based on
insurance premiums paid by borrowers.
Over time, private mortgage insurance (PMI) companies came into
play, and now FHA primarily serves people who cannot afford a
conventional down payment or otherwise do not qualify for PMI
insurance.

FHA does not make loans. Rather, it insures loans made by private
lenders. The first step in obtaining an FHA loan is to contact several
lenders and/or mortgage brokers and ask them if they originate FHA
loans. As each lender sets its own rates and terms, comparison
shopping is important in this market.
Second, the potential lender assesses the prospective home buyer
for risk. The analysis of one's debt to income ratio enables the buyer
to know what type of home can be afforded based on monthly income
and expenses and is one risk metric considered by the lender. Other
factors, e.g. payment history on other debts, are considered and used
to make decisions regarding eligibility and terms for a loan.
Section 251 insures home purchase or refinancing loans with interest
rates that may increase or decrease over time, which enables
consumers to purchase or refinance their home at a lower initial
interest rate.
FHA's mortgage insurance programs help low- and moderate-income
families become homeowners by lowering some of the costs of their
mortgage loans. FHA mortgage insurance also encourages lenders to
make loans to otherwise credit-worthy borrowers and projects that
might not be able to meet conventional underwriting requirements,
protecting the lender against loan default on mortgages for properties
that meet certain minimum requirements -- including manufactured
homes, single and multifamily properties, and some health-related
facilities. The basic FHA mortgage insurance program is Mortgage
Insurance for One- to Four-Family Homes (Section 203(b)).
The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) is a United States
government agency created as part of the National Housing Act of
1934. The goals of this organization are: to improve housing
standards and conditions; to provide an adequate home financing
system through insurance of mortgage loans; and to stabilize the
mortgage market..
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
History
During the Great Depression, the banking system failed, causing a
drastic decrease in home loans and ownership. At this time, most
home mortgages were short-term (three to five years), no
amortization, balloon instruments at loan-to-value (LTV) ratios below
fifty to sixty percent. The banking crisis of the 1930’s forced all
lenders to retrieve due mortgages. Refinancing was not available,
and many borrowers, now unemployed, were unable to make
mortgage payments. Consequently, many homes were foclosed,
causing the housing market to plummet. Banks collected the loan
collateral (foreclosed homes) but the low property values resulted in
a relative lack of assets. Because there was little faith in the backing
of the U.S. government, few loans were issued and few new homes
were purchased.
In 1934, the federal banking system was restructured. The National
Housing Act of 1934 was passed and the Federal Housing
Administration was created. Its intent was to regulate the rate of
interest and the terms of mortgages that it insured. These new lending
practices increased the number of people who could afford a down
payment on a house and monthly debt service payments on a
mortgage, thereby also increasing the size of the market for single-
family homes. (Garvin 2002)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How a FHA Mortgage Works
The FHA does not lend the money; it simply insures that the total
mortgage will be paid to the lender if the buyer defaults. It is always
the decision of the private lender (a bank, credit union, or savings
and loan) to decide whether or not they will lend the money.
The FHA mortgage program tends to be more forgiving than
conventional mortgages in terms of past credit history. A bankruptcy
discharged as little as two years ago may not hinder a homebuyer
from qualifying for the FHA program.
Typically, FHA mortgages do not require more than a 3-5 percent
down payment. Unlike traditional loans, this money may also be a gift
to the homebuyer and does not need to be secured as the
homebuyer's own money. Often, there are "points" associated with
FHA mortgages that are usually worth about 1 percent of the total
mortgage value. These points are paid to lenders to help lower the
interest rate of the mortgage.
Borrowers will also have to pay PMI (private mortgage insurance) on
the mortgage. PMI is used to ensure that the total amount of the
mortgage will be paid to the lender if the buyer defaults. Usually, a
PMI will not?? be put into effect until 20 percent of the mortgage has
been paid.
FHA mortgages have no mortgage value cap. In other words, you can
take out a FHA mortgage for $150,000 - $300,000 without any
restrictions, other than credit applicability.
Closing costs on FHA (or conventional loans) are usually between 2-3
percent of the total mortgage amount and are the responsibility of the
buyer. However, FHA closing costs can be financed into the total
amount of the mortgage and paid off accordingly.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Qualifying For a FHA Mortgage
To be approved for a FHA mortgage, you must have a satisfactory
credit history, which shows your commitment to paying off debts in a
timely manner. Also, you must be able to prove that the total monthly
mortgage payment will be less than 29 percent of your monthly
income. The number arrived at after multiplying your total monthly
income by 29 percent is referred to as PITI, or principle, interest,
property taxes, and insurance. The PITI amount is the highest amount
that your monthly mortgage payments may be. Furthermore, long-term
debt, such as car loans and credit card balances, in addition to the
monthly PITI amount cannot be more than 41 percent of your total
monthly income. More information about loan qualifications is
available from the FHA.
While these qualifications may seem a little stringent, they are
actually more lenient than traditional mortgage qualifications. The
decreased down payment makes this type of mortgage even more
desirable for many people.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHO CAN BE QUALIFIED?
WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS?
Purpose:
The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) makes it easier for
consumers to obtain affordable home improvement loans by
insuring loans made by private lenders to improve properties that
meet certain requirements. "Lending institutions make loans from
their own funds to eligible borrowers to finance these
improvements."
Type of Assistance:
The Title I program insures loans to finance the light or moderate
rehabilitation of properties, as well as the construction of
nonresidential buildings on the property. This program may be
used to insure such loans for up to 20 years on either single- or
multifamily properties. The maximum loan amount is $25,000 for
improving a single-family home or for improving or building a
nonresidential structure.
For improving a multifamily structure, the maximum loan amount
is $12,000 per family unit, not to exceed a total of $60,000 for the
structure. These are fixed-rate loans, for which lenders charge
interest at market rates. The interest rates are not subsidized by
HUD, although some communities participate in local housing
rehabilitation programs that provide reduced-rate property
improvement loans through Title I lenders.
FHA insures private lenders against the risk of default for up to 90
percent of any single loan. The annual premium for this insurance
is $1 per $100 of the amount advanced; although this fee may be
charged to the borrower separately, it is sometimes covered by a
higher interest charge.
Eligible Lenders:
Only lenders approved by HUD specifically for this program can
make loans covered by Title I insurance. Title I loans can be
disbursed directly to the borrower or, if the loan is made through a
dealer, the disbursement will be made jointly to the dealer and the
borrower. While most lenders and dealers/contractors use this
program responsibly, HUD urges consumers to use caution in
choosing and supervising home repair dealers/contractors
conducting Title I repair/renovation work. Previously HUD had
reviewed some Title I dealer loans and discovered several
instances of unscrupulous dealers/contractors performing shoddy
work, falsifying documents, overcharging homeowners and use of
deceptive advertising. HUD has taken new measures in an
attempt to prevent further occurrences in dealer originated loans.
Eligible Customers:
Eligible borrowers include the owner of the property to be
improved, the person leasing the property (provided that the lease
will extend at least 6 months beyond the date when the loan must
be repaid), or someone purchasing the property under a land
installment contract.
Eligible Activities:
Title I loans may be used to finance permanent property
improvements that protect or improve the basic livability or utility
of the property--including manufactured homes, single-family and
multifamily homes, nonresidential structures, and the preservation
of historic homes. The loans can also be used for fire safety
equipment.
Application:
Applications must be submitted to a Title I-approved lender. Our
web site offers a searchable list of approved lenders.
What is a 203(b) loan?
This is the most commonly used FHA program. it offers a low down
payment, flexible qualifying guidelines, limited lender's fees, and a
maximum loan amount.
This is a loan that enables the homebuyer to finance both the
purchase and rehabilitation of a home through a single mortgage.
A portion of the loan is used to pay off the seller's existing
mortgage and the remainder is placed in an escrow account and
released as rehabilitation is completed. Basic guidelines for
203(k) loans are as follows:
The home must be at least one year old.
The cost of rehabilitation must be at least $5,000, but the total
property value - including the cost of repairs - must fall within the
FHA maximum mortgage limit.
The 203(k) loan must follow many of the 203(b) eligibility
requirements.
Talk to your lender about specific improvement, energy efficiency,
and structural guidelines.
What is an energy efficient mortgage (EEM)?
The Energy Efficient Mortgage allows a homebuyer to save future
money on utility bills. This is done by financing the cost of adding
energy-efficiency features to a new or existing home as part of an
FHA-insured home purchase. The EEM can be used with both
203(b) and 203(k) loans. Basic guidelines for EEMs are as follows:
The cost of improvements must be determined by a Home Energy
Rating System or by an energy consultant. This cost must be less
than the anticipated savings from the improvements.
One- and two-unit new or existing homes are eligible; condos are
not.
The improvements financed may be 5% of property value or
$4,000, whichever is greater. The total must fall within the FHA
loan limit.
What is the FHA bridal registry program?
Just as you might register at a department store for wedding gifts,
the Bridal Registry program allows couples to register with a
lender and open up an interest-bearing account. Family and friends
can deposit wedding gifts of cash into this account. These gifts
can then be applied toward a down payment on a home. Ask your
lender for details.
What is a Title 1 loan?
Given by a Lender and insured by the FHA, a Title I loan is used to
make non-luxury renovations and repairs to a home. It offers a
manageable interest rate and repayment schedule. Loans are
limited to between $5,000 and 20,000. If the loan amount is under
7,500, no lien is required against your home. Ask your lender for
details.
What other loan products or programs does the FHA offer?
The FHA also insures loans for the purchase or rehabilitation of
manufactured housing, condominiums, and cooperatives. It also
has special programs for urban areas, disaster victims, and
members of the armed forces. Insurance for ARMS is also
available from the FHA.
How can I obtain FHA-insiured loan?
Contact an FHA-approved lender such as a participating mortgage
company, bank, savings and loan association, or thrift. For more
information on the FHA and how you can obtain an FHA loan, visit
the call a HUD-approved counseling agency at 1-800-569-4287 or
TDD: 1-800-877-8339.

Benefits of an FHA-Insured Loan
If one or more of the following situations apply, then an
FHA-insured loan may be right for you:
You're a first-time home-buyer.
You don't have a lot of money to put down on a house.
You want to keep your monthly payments as low as possible.
You're worried about your monthly payments going up.
You're worried about qualifying for a loan.
You don't have perfect credit.
You're worried about what will happen if you fall behind on your
payments.
FHA-insured mortgages offer many benefits and protections that
you won't find in other loans including:
Lower cost:
FHA-insured loans have competitive interest rates because the
Federal government insures the loans for lenders. Always
compare an FHA-insured loan with other loan types.
Smaller downpayment:
FHA-insured loans have a low 3.5% down-payment and the money
can come from a family member, employer or charitable
organization as a gift. Other loan programs don't allow this.
Easier qualification:
Because FHA insures your mortgage, lenders may be more willing
to give you loan terms that make it easier for you to qualify.
Less than perfect credit:
You don't have to have perfect credit to get an FHA-insured
mortgage. In fact, even if you have had credit problems, such as a
bankruptcy, it's easier for you to qualify for an FHA-insured loan
than a conventional loan.
More protection to keep your home:
The FHA has been around since 1934 and will continue to be here
to protect you. Should you encounter hard times after buying your
home, the FHA has many options to help you keep your home and
avoid foreclosure.
The FHA does not give money to people for a home and it does not
set the interest rates on mortgages it insures. FHA insures loans
for lenders against defaults. For the best interest rate and terms on
a mortgage, you should

FHA Mortgages
Purchasing a new home is exciting. Finding the right home for you
and your family requires a great deal of work and decision making.
However, finding the right mortgage is just as important as finding
the right home.
Many Americans take advantage of FHA loans when purchasing a
home. Our Research Center can help you to learn about the
benefits of a FHA Loan.
A FHA mortgage can be an attractive option to many first-time
homebuyers, as down-payment requirements for a FHA mortgage
can be as low as 3 percent. However, you don’t need to be a first-
time buyer to take out a FHA mortgage; the only stipulation is that a
purchaser may only have one FHA mortgage at a time.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
FHA Refinancing
The FHA also allows homepwners to obtain a FHA refinance. A
FHA refinance makes it possible to lower your interest rate and
your monthly payments. You may also take out cash from the
equity in your home to pay off debt or make home improvements,
or avoid foreclosure on your home. With many Americans currently
facing interest rate resets, it's hard to keep up with the mounting
monthly mortgage payments.
