FHA 100 – FHA Overview
We introduce the Federal Housing Administration’s Insurance Program, generally called “FHA.” FHA was mandated by the National Housing Act in 1934 and the loan programs that have evolved out of that Act and its consequent regulation have been a cornerstone for many Americans pursuing the American Dream. FHA insured housing plays a key role in allowing lower to middle income households to afford their first home.
We will discuss FHA, from its concept to the actual systems involved in starting the process of originating an FHA loan. We will also discuss many of the different loan programs offered through FHA.
Topics covered include:
- What is “FHA”? Introduces the concept of FHA and how the program works
FHA Loan Programs. Gives an overview of 13 loan programs, including who is eligible, special conditions related to the program and any mechanics associated with the implantation of an FHA insured loan under the program
FHA Systems. Lays out, from a practical viewpoint, what tools a loan originator would use when originating an FHA loan, including FHA Connection, CAIVRS and the case number assignment workflow.
FHA 200 – Maximum Loan Amount
This session deals with calculating the Maximum Loan Amount FHA is willing to insure for a mortgage borrower in the purchase and refinance of their homes.
Most of the time, the maximum amount that mortgage lenders are willing to lend is based exactly on the maximum amount FHA is willing to insure. For this reason, the maximum loan amount the borrower can obtain usually ends up being the FHA Maximum Loan Amount.
We cover the following topics:
- LTV Limit. We will talk about factors that affect LTV Limit, which includes Borrower’s Minimum Cash Investment Requirements, Interested Third Party Contribution and Inducement to Purchase.
- Statutory Loan Limit. We will explain how to look up the Statutory Loan Limits for different FHA mortgage types and locations. We will explain how to appeal to HUD to change the Statutory Loan Limit for a specific county. This might be necessary when the housing prices of a certain area increase significantly.
- Effects of Repair and Improvements on Maximum Mortgage Amount. We will look at how certain Repairs and Home Improvements can affect both LTV and Statutory Loan Limit.
- LTV Limits for Specific Situations. We will then look at additional exceptions such as transactions between family members, construction loans and mortgage assumptions that can affect both LTV and Statutory Loan Limit.
