I don't have experience myself but I know my firm has dealt with HUD multiple times in the past

Yeah. I'd read about some programs in the past then talking to a guy last night got me thinking about it again. Have a dozen tabs open, haven't really gotten to dive into it tonight but in the am I'll be studying up.

My sister is a nurse and was approved for 110k, that was the max they would approve for her. She bought a nice 3 bedroom townhouse.

Sketchy credit history and poor credit score is okay, they have 4 requirements: 1) a job 2) acceptable debt-to-income ratio 3) no "active" collections (if you have any, settle with the collection agencies) 4) 10% down payment.

Best way to get into the real estate game if you aren't heavily funded. They only require 3% down. You MUST live in the house for I think at least one year but possibly 3? Gotta double check on that. My boy bought a three family house using an FHA. Put like 6k down. The other 2 units are now paying his mortgage + taxes + giving him a profit. Its a very favorable loan to buying a home. Don't buy a single family though. Buy a multi so you can cake off the rent income.

The loans are assumable for the life of the mortgage, so the only way he does that if he refinanced. 3% is okay, but for better interest rates 8 - 10% down is the way to go.

It would be a multi unit, they're supposed to call me back today.
I need a jumbo loan so we'll see. I can get a regular mortgage, if I don't have to put down 20%, why would I?

Better loan terms and you wouldn't have to pay PMI.

Basically you save a lot of money in the long term. FHA loans are great for people who can't save up a lump sum of money, or who have bad credit, but the loan terms are pretty shytty compared to a regular loan.
