If you're in need of an appraisal for an FHA loan, please contact us, and we'll be able to help you right away.

If your loan is FHA approved, that means that the loan has been guaranteed by the FHA, which is underneath the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The lending company takes care of all the money in the loan; the FHA simply backs the transaction with mortgage insurance in case the borrower does not pay off his or her loan. Low-income and moderate-income consumers benefit from an FHA-backed loan; the purpose of the Federal Housing Administration is to aid credit-worthy buyers to meet expectations and qualifications for lenders that they otherwise would not.

Typically, a buyer has to pay less of a down payment on an FHA-insured loan, while the rates remain standard market rates. The loan programs that the Federal Housing Administration offers are excessively useful to consumers with less starting capital.
