Mason Ohio Condo Associations Approved For FHA Loans July 2014

Basically, to gain approval for an FHA loan, the condo association must maintain a valid certificate with the Department of Housing and Urban Development.  Essentially HUD assesses eligibility for the community:  ratio of owner occupants to investors, proportion … (13 comments)
