FHA’s 203b loan is the basic loan package for the purchase of a home. The 203b derived its name from the code section in federal housing law.

one can take out a 203b loan to purchase a home that has 1-4 living units in the property. The down payment required is 3.5%. The down payment may be a gift from a family member; a grant from another government program or perhaps aid from a local non-profit agency.

FHA loan can include loan closing costs and the insurance payments.

Hi patos,

You should immediately file a complaint with the local police.

Take care.
