How FHA Home Loan limits are Set |
|
||||||||||
The FHA does set limits on FHA mortgage loans, and these mortgage limits can vary by county and state. FHA mortgage loan limits are based upon HUD's determination which considers the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac limits on conventional mortgage loans. The mortgage limits are also figured out according to type of single family residence. (or 2 unit, 3 unit, 4 unit family dwellings) If your research indicates that FHA mortgage loan limits in a nearby county are more lenient, you may wish to consider buying a home in the area with the higher limit.

For many homeowners who are in default or facing the prospect of foreclosure, $362,790 is just not enough to cover their existing mortgage. Congress is being urged to raise the maximum FHA loan guarantee to $417,000 which is the limit for conforming loans that can be sold to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, but even this is not enough for many home owners in high cost areas like California, so this program is not for everyone, but the best estimates are that somewhere between 80,000 and 240,000 families will be able to benefit from these new quick and efficient government refinance loans. Therefore, a new program has been introduced, called FHA Secure. This is sort of an FHA streamline program and it can bring financing assistance to many desperate home owners. These new, quick and efficient government refinance loans are designed to help people refinancing ARM or Adjustable Rate loans into stable, fixed rate home loans. They offer rate and term refinancing only, no cash out and borrowers must have good payment history. Traditional FHA home loans are not available to homeowners who are behind on their payments, or are in foreclosure, but these new loans are different. |
