![]() Need an appraisal for an FHA-backed mortgage? Call Elizabeth McCallisterElizabeth McCallister is FL state certified and on the FHA Roster of approved residential appraisers. This indicates that we are certified and approved by the FHA to do appraisal reports for house loans underwritten by them. We're trained and understand the rules and procedures in FHA's guidance and policy documents. Be sure to contact Elizabeth McCallister if you need an appraisal done for an FHA-secured loan. An FHA loan is backed by the Federal Housing Administration, a federal organization within the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The lending organization provides all the loaned money; the FHA simply secures the loan by providing mortgage insurance in case the borrower defaults on his or her loan. Low-income and moderate-income borrowers benefit from an FHA-secured loan; the point of the Federal Housing Administration is to help credit-worthy buyers to meet expectations and qualifications for lenders that they otherwise would not. Down payments are often lower with an FHA loan despite using conventional market rates. The loan programs that the Federal Housing Administration provides are exceedingly useful to purchasers with less starting capital. |
