What are the expenses of a FHA mortgage?
Hi stevecomish,

Welcome to our forum.

In my opinion, The expenses a buyer is responsible for when purchasing a house with an FHA loan are the following:

1)Down payment (usually no more than 3%)

2)Appraisal fee, escrow, loan origination fee (typically 1% of base loan amount),

3)Recording fees, credit report charges, title insurance policy fees, MMI impounds, hazard insurance and reserves, MIP (insurance, which
can be financed), and property taxes.

Will be charged to get FHA.

Thanks & Regadrs.

as noted, the minimum investment required for fha purchase money loans is 3.5% of the purchase price or appraised value, whichever is less.

Down Payment Requirement is 3.5%
If those funds aren't available, FHA allows a gift from a family member if they have the ability to give it.
Minimum Credit Requirement on an FHA loan is 550

let's get this right for once and for all...the down payment requirement is not "usually no more than 3 percent as lee so bodaciously announced just above. the minimum required down payment for fha loans is 3.5% (three and one-half percent), no matter what anyone tells you.

as noted earlier, that amount can come from a borrower's own funds, or from a gift from a family member. there is no way in which a person can obtain a loan for greater than 96.5% of the purchase price or appraised value of a home, whichever is the lesser amount.

please...all those who are stuck on this 3% thing...just look it up and you'll see. just read others' posts and you'll see. please...if you don't know the right answer, don't just throw out words. you do a disservice to all those who are seeking this vital information.

and thank you for your cooperation.
