HUD Tax Lien Guidelines To Qualify For FHA Home Loans

This Article Is About HUD Tax Lien Guidelines To Qualify For FHA Home Loans 

HUD, the parent of FHA, has created very lenient mortgage guidelines to promote homeownership for first time home buyers and borrowers with less than perfect credit to qualify for FHA Loans.

• FHA Home Loans are government-backed loans for owner-occupant primary home mortgages
• The role of FHA is to insure and partially guarantees to private lenders who originate and fund FHA Loans
• FHA has nothing to do with origination nor funding of FHA Mortgages
• FHA will partially guarantee and insure FHA Loans when borrowers default on their mortgages
• The loss sustained by lenders due to foreclosure, the Federal Housing Administration will partially guarantee the loss
• Due to this government guarantee, lenders are more than eager to originate and fund FHA Loans
• Borrowers can qualify for 3.5% down payment FHA Loans with 580 credit scores and with outstanding collections, charge offs, bankruptcy, foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, short sale, judgments, and tax liens

In this blog, we will discuss HUD Tax Lien Guidelines and how to qualify for FHA Loans with outstanding tax liens.
