Some Advantages of FHA Loans
(Source:Elizabeth Weintraub)

      • FHA Loans Allow a Blemished Credit History
        • Low credit score, Bankruptcy or a Foreclosure will not automatically exclude you from loan approval.
      • FHA Loans Boast Competitive Rates & Terms
        • Rates vary very little, making them comparable to conventional loans.
        • Down payments call be a little at 3.5% or less or the purchase price.
      • FHA Loans demand fewer repairs
        • Today’s FHA repair requirements are much less stringent making it easier for a seller’s home to qualify for the buyer’s FHA loan.

Financing Types

Not all properties qualify for FHA Financing. Therefore, you should check the insurability status and alert your lender before placing a bid.

The financing classifications for every HUD owned property are as follows:

IN (Insurable) – these properties qualify for FHA 203(b) financing and have no obvious Minimum Property Standard (MPS) repairs. These properties may also qualify for 203(k) financing, a rehabilitation loan for owner occupants only.

IE (Insurable with Escrow) – these properties qualify for FHA 203(b) with Repair Escrow, and have MPS repairs totaling less than $5,000. The repair escrow is the buyer’s financial responsibility, never a credit to the buyer. The lender holds the repair escrow money until completed (which must be within 90 days after closing) and is responsible for disbursing the funds to the appropriate parties. The escrow repair amount only applies to FHA 203(b) financing. These properties may also qualify for 203(k) financing.

UI (Uninsurable) – these properties do not qualify for FHA 203(b) financing. Typically these properties have MPS repairs ex‐ ceeding $5,000 or may not meet other guidelines for FHA financing.
