Getting an FHA Home Loan

by Mayer Dallal
An FHA home loan for a refinance or a purchase is the way to go for any borrower. For many years it was misunderstood that FHA was for people that were bad credit, or for those had middle of the road credit but that just isn't the case. An FHA home loan takes some time and patience, and I am here to help, but the end results will be well worth it.



FHA loans can either be done in what is called a streamline or a cash -out loan. The streamline FHA home loan allows you to refinance the loan, and take some cash out if you want to pay off some debt, but there are some guidelines associated with it. A refinance option will allow you to take up to 97.75%. These limits are just simply a guideline to prevent another economic crisis like what we are having now. These limits also will prevent you from going into a payment that is much larger than what you have right now.



Any loan that is not currently an FHA home loan can certainly be refinanced to an FHA loan, so long as the borrower qualifies according to the FHA guidelines. In order to determine what your debt load is, they will look at what you owe on the home and your existing debts outside of that. It is always important to know what you can afford. Many people are always quick to take a look at the maximum that they can borrow, which is the wrong place to start.



Consider that when your pay off from your current home loan comes in, it may include any unpaid interest calculated through the end of the month, and will include any late fees that were tacked onto your loan from the past. Escrow shortages can also account for this final payoff, so be prepared to consider how you want to refinance your loan before you start the process. If you aren't sure what to do I can help.
