This is Part Three in my series on FHA Real Estate Loans and some things that home buyers and home owners may not be aware of. Today, I am going to discuss the purchase and refinance of manufactured homes with their own land. Manufactured homes on leased land are not eligible for FHA loans in my lending area of Oregon, Washington and California. FHA loans, except for streamline refinances are limited to owner occupied primary residences only. First of all, what is a manufactured home? A manufactured home is one that is built in a factory and transported to the home … (7 comments)

203k: FHA Mortgage Loan Credit Requirements - 12/22/08 09:56 PM
This is Part Two in a three part series about FHA mortgage loans. Part One talked about the changes in FHA loans going into effect on Jan. 1 and the things that wouldn’t be changing. In this installment, I will cover some credit issues having to do with FHA loans.

203k: FHA 203k Streamline - 06/30/08 12:59 PM
FHA offers a Streamline 203k program that allows a homebuyer/owner to finance up to $35,000 of home repairs in the purchase or refinance of a home.
