Can HUD loans be used for townhouses?

If it's truly a townhouse, then you can use all types of conforming financing,, FHA, VA, Conventional.. However, if it's a Condo, but listed as a "Townhouse".. then it could be a problem... A townhouse is nothing more than a single family home but the lot is smaller and sometimes there might be several units that have common walls, but when you own a townhouse, you also own the footprint of land the home sits on.. However, with a condo, you do not own the dirt,, only the "Walls-In".. FHA will only do projects that are approved by FHA.. do a google search for "Approved FHA condo search".. you should get to HUD"s website were you can look up the project..

There is no such thing as a HUD loan. HUD is the parent of FHA, and if someone with an FHA loan goes into foreclosure, then the foreclosure for sale is called a HUD home. So guessing you mean an FHA loan. Any regular mortgage loan can be used to buy a townhouse, including an FHA loan. We don't treat a townhouse any different than a single family home. A condo on the other hand can come with certain restrictions too numerous to list here. Many properties that look like townhomes are legally condo's.
