FHA is a branch of HUD and provides insurance for your loan; in other words, FHA doesn't lend the borrower money rather, it insures the lender in case the borrower defaults. In this time of rising foreclosures and tightening lending requirements, increased FHA limits are a boon to lenders and borrowers alike. Lenders are more willing to fund knowing that the loan is insured and borrowers have an affordable financing option with with a low down payment.
If you are considering purchasing a home and would like more information on loan options and getting pre-approved, please feel free to contact me!
