Two FHA Loans Due To Expanding Family Size Lending Requirements

If a homeowner owns a home and has an FHA Loan but needs to purchase a larger home due to expanding the family size, this is allowed under HUD Guidelines. Let’s take a case scenario. Let’s say a homeowner owns a two-bedroom, one-bathroom townhouse. The homeowner has no children. However, the townhome owner met someone with three children and two dogs. They cannot live in the townhome due to not having enough space. The townhome owner can keep the townhouse with the FHA Loan and purchase a larger home due to a sudden increase in family size. This is allowed under HUD 4000.1 FHA handbook guidelines. The exiting property’s monthly principal, interest, taxes, insurance (PITI) plus HOA will be counted in the new mortgage debt to income ratio calculations.
