When reviewing the FHA mortgage applicants  credit and credit report, the FHA mortgage lender must pay particular attention to the following:

The lender must determine the borrower’s payment history of housing obligations through either the credit report, verification of rent directly from the landlord (with no identity-of-interest with the borrower) or verification of mortgage directly from the mortgage servicer, or through canceled checks covering the most recent 12-month period. The FHA mortgage applicant must explain in writing all inquiries shown on the credit report in the last 90 days. The borrower must explain in writing all collections and judgments.  Extenuating circumstances include serious illness or death of a wage earner, but do not include the inability to sell the house because of a job transfer or relocation to another area.  Additionally, the FHA mortgage lender must document that the FHA mortgage applicants  current situation indicates that the events that led to the bankruptcy are not likely to recur.

 Past Chapter 13 bankruptcy does not disqualify a FHA mortgage applicant from obtaining an FHA-insured mortgage provided the FHA mortgage lender documents that one year of the payout period under the bankruptcy has elapsed and the borrower’s payment performance has been satisfactory (i.e., all required payments made on time).  In addition, the borrower must receive permission from the court to enter into the mortgage transaction. 

“FHA” and “First Time Homebuyers” are real buzzwords as far as home buying is concerned, especially when those terms are used in combination. Many readers have heard the “FHA loans are great for first time homebuyers” street talk, but without detailed, supporting information as to why.

The intent of this article is to quantify the features of this loan, both good and bad, and discuss the circumstances under which it’s a beneficial program to the homebuyer (either first, second, or third time homebuyer).

First, FHA stands for Federal Housing Authority, and though the phrase “FHA loan” implies otherwise, the Federal Housing Authority does not lend money. Rather, they insure the loan. The money still comes from the lender selected by the borrower, but the FHA now provides an insurance policy to protect the lender in the event of borrower default. With this insurance, the lender has less risk, and so guidelines are less restrictive than with conventional financing.

The reader should be aware that FHA is completely different from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (otherwise known as GSEs, or “Government Sponsored Entities”). There has been a lot of buzz recently about Fannie and Freddie, but these entities, and the associated loans, are completely different than the Federal Housing Authority.

Recent events in the credit markets have made the FHA loan a true affordability solution for buyers. In fact, it is this author’s opinion that without the availability of this loan, there would be very few people buying houses these days.

In mid-December of last year, a report began circulating amongst all the direct lenders citing “counties of declining market value” throughout the country. This report placed counties in one of 3 categories: 1) par (little or no depreciation in home values), 2) soft (significant depreciation), or 3) distressed (extreme depreciation). Since that time, the report, and the consequence to lending guidelines, has been revised and updated.

Where things currently stand is that lenders mandate a 5% LTV reduction for soft market, and a 10% LTV reduction for distressed markets. LTV stands for “loan-to-value”, and refers to the maximum amount of financing (as a ratio to the sales price) the lender will allow. So, for example, if a loan program in a “par” market allowed 90% financing, that same loan program in a distressed market would only allow 80% financing.

Since most counties in major metropolitan areas are on this list, hefty down payment requirements are placed on borrowers purchasing homes in these areas. On average, this means 10% down payment requirements in par markets, 15% down payment requirements in soft markets, and 20% down payment requirements in distressed markets.

But this is where FHA loans provide a saving grace, as these loan programs are not subject to this “LTV reduction”. Rather, it is only the non-government loan programs (ie Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac) subject to this constraint. Further, FHA loans allow up to 97.75% LTV (so 2.25% down payment). On a $450,000 home in a soft market, this means the borrower only has to put down $10,125 instead of $67,500 on a non-government loan.

The other major benefit of the FHA program is the reduced credit requirements. Whereas non-government loans require credit scores of 700+, the FHA loan accepts credit scores as low as 640.

Is there a catch to all this? Somewhat. The FHA loan carries a mandatory Mortgage Insurance Premium of 1.5% of the loan amount that must be paid at settlement; on a $400,000 loan, 1.5% would be $6,000. This will change to 1.25-2.25%, depending on the borrower’s financial strength, when the new FHA guidelines are released July 14, 2008.

However, even with the 1.5% Mortgage Insurance Premium, the total “down payment” required from the buyer (2.25% + 1.5%= 3.75%) is less than with a non-government program (10% in a best case scenario). True, the additional 1.5% fee is not going towards equity, like a down payment, but the total out-pocket expense is still less.

Another “catch” to the FHA loan is that, assuming the borrower does the 97.75% financing (or at least anything above 78%), the borrower will have to pay Monthly Mortgage Insurance (MMI). MMI is similar to PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance on non-government loans). However, the MMI payment of 0.50% of the loan amount is slightly less than a PMI payment would be for the same loan amount.

But is MMI or PMI really a bad thing? Before January 2007 it was, since it was not tax deductible. But as of January 1, 2007, following the “Tax Relief and Health Care Act of 2006″ which President Bush signed into law, mortgage insurance premiums are now tax deductible. Before this time, buyers wanting financing in excess of 80% got a second mortgage to avoid MMI or PMI (and 2nd mortgages, when used for a purchase, are tax deductible). But with the new tax law, the mortgage insurance premium carries the same tax benefit as a second mortgage. Thus MMI can be thought of as a “second mortgage”.

And lastly, another “catch” to the FHA loans is they do take slightly longer to process. The reason is that there is more paperwork, steps, and procedures for the lender to go through then with non-government programs. In total, this means about 10 extra calendar days to the process, so 35-40 days instead of the usual 25-30. What I tell homebuyers making an offer on a home and planning to use FHA financing is to simply request a 40-45 day escrow instead of the usual 30. In this market, with sellers eager to sell, this is never a problem.

And those are the “catches” to the FHA loan, but minor if not insignificant in this author’s opinion. Truly, the only real thorn in the “FHA rose” is the 1.5% Mortgage Insurance Premium. And for borrowers that have the assets to afford a 15%+ down payment, I tell them to use conventional financing, so they can avoid this Mortgage Insurance Premium (and also qualify for a better rate with the larger down payment).

Speaking of rate, the reader may be envisioning a monster rate for this government loan program. But the rates are in fact quite modest. As of mid-may, wholesale rates on an FHA loan with 97.75% financing (2.25% down) were about 6.00%, compared with 5.625% on a conventional loan with 80% financing.

Thus, with the 15-20% down payment requirements of conventional loans for houses in “areas of declining market value”, FHA loans are a great resource for home buyers unable to afford these large down payments. And since the FHA loan limit has been raised as high as $729,750 in some areas, the applicability is even broader. Yes, there are a few “catches” to this loan program, but overall the pros outweigh the cons for the borrower with limited assets.

Federal Housing Administration Department (FHA) has helped many Americans buy new houses. They extended the benefits to such a level that low and middle income families were also able to qualify FHA loan requirements. The FHA loan requirements are much more feasible that any other conventional loans. Hence it is easily possible to get FHA home loans. But certain things are mandatory in order get loan.

In case you are thinking of taking up loan in order to get a house, then FHA financing has got a good deal to offer. It is very similar to any other lender. The borrower’s credit will be checked, as this would be the indication for FHA down payments in the future. In case the borrower is having zero credit, he can still get loan. Unlike any other conventional loans, FHA loans lend loan if the borrower has a co-signer who has credit though they might not stay in the house. Many people in America have benefitted by taking loans in this way from FHA lenders. They also provide insurance protection to the lenders who provide mortgages to house owners.

FHA will check the income level when anybody applies for FHA loan. This is in order to verify that the borrower will be able to repay the loan installment regularly. FHA insurance is very helpful for those who might not be able to qualify conventional loan requirements. It is basically designed for first time buyers. The loan taken will be deducted considering the monthly and annual salary. The amount after deduction is the actual amount which is left at the end of each month. This indicates the amount the borrower can afford as mortgage payment.

There are a few basic necessities which are to be taken care of while applying for FHA loans:

• The borrower should possess a Social Security Number (SSN).

• The borrower should be a resident of USA.

• She/he should be of legal age so that she/he can sign the mortgage.

FHA expect the borrower to have a good history, so that they are satisfied that he/she will pay the loan installment. These rules are not as stringent as any other conventional loan lenders; hence making it easier for borrowers to get home loans. This makes FHA, one of the leading and most popular resources for borrowers when it comes to government loan options.

 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 of FHA home loans

Back in the 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 foreclosed, 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.

The FHA calculated appraisal value based on eight criteria and directed its agents to lend more for higher appraised projects, up to a maximum cap. The two most important were “Relative Economic Stability,” which constituted 40% of appraisal value, and “Protection from adverse influences,” which made up another 20%.

The FHA Mortgage loans Today

Back in 1965, the Federal Housing Administration became part of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Since 1934, the FHA and HUD have insured over 34 million home mortgages and 47,205 multifamily project mortgages. Currently, the FHA mortgage loan has 4.8 million insured single family mortgages and 13,000 insured multifamily projects in its portfolio. The Federal Housing Administration is the only government agency that is completely self-funded. However, although it claims to operate solely from its own income at no cost to taxpayers, there is an implicit guarantee that the taxpayer will help them in times of need.

During budget planning for 2008 HUD had been projecting $143,000,000 budget shortfall stemming from the FHA program. This is the first time in three decades HUD had made a request to Congress for a taxpayer subsidy. Even though FHA is statutorily required to be budget neutral, the GAO is projecting taxpayer funded subsidies of half a billion dollars over the next three years, if no changes are made to the FHA program.

FHA Required Down Payment

A mortgage applicant downpayment may come from a number of sources. The 3.5% requirement can be satisfied with the borrower using their own cash or receiving a gift from a family member, their employer, labor union, non-profit or government entity. Since 1998, non-profits have been providing downpayment gifts to borrowers who purchase homes where the seller has agreed to reimburse the non-profit and pay an additional processing fee. In May 2006, the IRS determined that this is not “charitable activity” and has moved to revoke the non-profit status of groups providing downpayment assistance in this manner. FHA has since stopped down payment assistance program through 3rd non profits. There is a bill currently in congress that hopes to bring back down payment assistance programs through these so called non profits.

FHA Mortgage Insurance for Homebuyers

The FHA insures only a limited range of mortgages provided by FHA-approved lenders. PMI insurers service mortgages of the conventional market. PMI is required if a homebuyer borrows more than 80% of the property’s purchase price in one loan; the FHA insurance is required for any FHA mortgage, irrespective of the size of the down payment provided. The premiums for both insurances get cancelled at a certain point (was not true of FHA premiums before Jan. 1, 2001), but the conditions for this to happen are different (see below).

Mortgage insurance is available for housing loan lenders, protecting against homeowner mortgage default. For a small fee, lenders can obtain insurance for a value of ninety seven percent of the appraised value of the home or building. FHA loans are insured through a combination of a small upfront mortgage insurance premium (UFMIP), as well as a small monthly mortgage insurance (MMI) premium.

The (UF)MIP or (Up-Front) Mortgage Insurance Premium is the upfront fee you pay either in cash at close or financed into the loan. The MMI or Mutual (sometimes called Monthly) Mortgage Insurance is your monthly premium which is included in your payment. This MMI is an annual premium which is to be remitted monthly, it must be paid for 5 years regardless of your LTV (loan to value) if after 5 years your LTV is 78% or less it may be canceled on loans originated after 1/1/01. If your loan term is 15 years or less the 5 year rule does not apply.

In many instances where the home owner has a poor to moderate credit history, the monthly mortgage insurance premium will be substantially less expensive with an FHA loan than with a conventional loan regardless of LTV – sometimes as little as one-ninth as much per month depending on the borrower’s exact credit score, LTV, loan size, and approval status. A borrower with an FHA loan always pays the same mortgage insurance rate regardless of their credit score. This is especially of benefit to borrowers who have less than 22% equity in their homes and credit scores under 620. Conventional mortgage insurance premium rates factor in credit scores, whereas FHA mortgage insurance premiums do not. When a borrower has a credit score under 620, conventional mortgage premiums spike dramatically. If a borrower has a credit score under 575, they may find it impossible to purchase a home for less than 20% down with a conventional loan, as the majority of mortgage insurance companies no longer write mortgage insurance policies on borrowers with credit scores under 575 due to a sharply increased risk. When they do write mortgage insurance policies for borrowers with lower credit scores, the annual premiums are sometimes as high as 4% to 5% of the loan amount. Based on this, if a consumer is considering purchasing a new home or refinancing an existing home, they would often be well-advised to look into the FHA loan program.

What is fha loans with bad credit ?

Fha loans is the most popular consumer mortgage loan you can possibly have today,also fha bad credit loans are done by the government, basically the government have created these loans years ago and it was actually very popular consumer mortgage loans for many people several years ago, fha bad credit loans also called fha hud have their fha guidelines and fha requirement and for you to get a consumer mortgage and an fha approval you need to know them.

1.Fha fees- fha fees are not so much different then any other conventional mortgage loans you had in the past, the problem is that some of us that apply to have a consumer mortgage are being charged high points in conventional mortgage loans.
If you will read the fha guidelines you will understand that with fha lending it’s a much safer way to go because there are some restriction with the fha fees.

2.Fha appraisal- fha appraisal is also not so different from a normal appraisal you will have to get done in a conventional mortgage, but here the appraiser that will appraise your home will have to be fha approved to get you an fha appraisal done.
3.Fha conventional- fha conventional is not a normal term but some people are using this term for some reason, but fha conventional is not related to one another, fha is fha and conventional is conventional.
4.Fha lenders- there are not a lot of fha lenders and/or fha brokers. A lot of people think that every mortgage broker can help them with their fha Home mortgage, no.
Only a few Mortgage brokers out there are really fha approved, so before you make a decision which mortgage broker you will use for your next mortgage refinance or mortgage purchase.

Please make sure to use fha lenders or fha broker, they have to be fha approved mortgage brokers.
5.Fha loan limits- the fha loan limits have changed recently, until march of 2008 the fha limits were up to $417,000, because of states and cities like california, new york, san fransisco, sacramento, los angeles, san diego, manhattan, long island and many others the fha loan limits have changed to $729,000.
The new loan limits will help many homeowners to refinance their homes and avoid foreclosure.
6.Fha pmi- fha pmi is the mortgage insurance you required to pay, please read the fha requirements, in conventional loans you will pay pmi(mortgage insurance) only if your loan is more then 80% ltv,since the fha program don’t offer a second on your mortgage so they will charge you fha pmi instead, which is good because fha pmi is much better then a second loan.

7.Fha rates- fha rates are much better then conventional interest rate loans, conventional banks have a higher rate loans because they charge to the index of your loan a margin, fha rate have no margin to it since the fha program is done by the government so the fha rates are lower then conventional rate loans.

So again learn the fha guidelines and the fha requirements.
now you will know the fha loan limits,that you will probably have to pay fha pmi, that the fha rates shouldn’t be higher then conventional rate loans.
Now find fha lenders or an fha broker and get your refinance or mortgage done and save your home.
