Be sure to contact Goddard Appraisal Services, LLC if you need an appraisal done for an FHA-secured loan. An FHA loan is secured by the Federal Housing Administration, a federal agency that is a part of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The lender takes care of all the money in the loan; the FHA simply backs the loan through mortgage insurance in case the borrower does not pay off his or her loan. Applicable to all buyers, FHA loan programs are created to help credit-worthy low-income and moderate-income families who do not meet requirements for conventional loans. Typically, a buyer has to pay less of a down payment on an FHA-insured loan, while the rates remain standard market rates. FHA loan programs are particularly helpful to those purchasers with less available funding. |
