![]() Need an appraisal for an FHA-backed mortgage? Call Lee WilkesLee Wilkes is GA state certified and on the FHA Roster of approved residential appraisers. This means that we are qualified and approved by the FHA to do appraisal reports for house loans insured by them. Part of the periodic training our staff at Lee Wilkes receives deals strictly with understanding the FHA's documentation and their rules and procedures. Be sure to contact Lee Wilkes if you need an appraisal done for an FHA-secured loan. An FHA loan is backed by the Federal Housing Administration, a federal agency within the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). None of the funds are provided by the FHA; what the FHA does is make sure that the loan is paid for in case the borrower doesn't pay their loan. Low-income and moderate-income borrowers benefit from an FHA-insured loan; the point of the Federal Housing Administration is to aid credit-worthy potential buyers to meet expectations and qualifications for lending agencies that they otherwise would not. Down payments are often lower with an FHA loan despite using conventional market rates. FHA loan programs are particularly helpful to those buyers with less accessible cash. |
