Refinance FHA Mortgage Loans
A FHA mortgage allows some borrowers to qualify for the lower interest rates of a conventional loan, rather than using a higher rate sub-prime mortgage. This can save thousands in interest charges.
The FHA or Federal Housing Administration is now a part of HUD or House and Urban Development, which are responsible for making home ownership more accessible for more Americans. What is great about the FHA, is that you do not have to have perfect credit or a high paying job. The payments are usually smaller than bank made loans, as well as the down payment needed towards a home is also much smaller than what would normally be accepted.
Qualifying for a FHA loan is surprisingly very easy! You must be able to meet the minimal credit requirements, plan to use the home as a primary residence, and of course can afford to make the monthly mortgage payments, which are often comparable to rent payments. You must be able to show a steady income for three years and have paid your bills on time. There is no limit on the amount of income that is needed to qualify.
The
Refinance FHA Mortgage Loans(HARP) has been designed to complement Making Home
Affordable by helping homeowners who have not been delinquent on their
monthly mortgage payments, but are still unable to refinance and take
advantage of the historically low mortgage rates due to the declining home
values, thus raising their current loan-to-value (LTV) over 80%.
FHA helps low and moderate-income families purchase homes by keeping the initial costs down. By serving as an umbrella under which lenders have the confidence to extend loans to those who may not meet conventional loan requirements, FHA's mortgage insurance allows individuals to qualify who may have been previously denied for a home loan by conventional underwriting guidelines.
The FHA also limits fees that can be charged to the borrower. For example, the loan origination fee cannot surpass 1% of the mortgage amount. FHA loans are a very attractive mortgage option. Unlike a private mortgage, FHA loans are designed to cut you a major break so you can buy a home.

loans will allow the flexibility necessary to make

and the lender. All HARP loans require less documentation
for underwriting, and some HARP loans will not require an
appraisal.
