FHA Loan over limit?

Correct. You can purchase any dollar amount bud you can not get anymore than $287,500 from the lender. You'd have to come out of pocket for any overages.

Yes you are correct. The end loan amount can not exceed 287500. If you have any further questions please contact me

Of course you can increase the amount you have to come in with for a property costing more. You are allowed to use gift money towards down payment so if that is possible, then you can increase the price with whatever money you have to add to that. Gift money...sounds so good! But I have done so many FHA and other first time homebuyer loans wherein some relative...father, mother, aunt, uncle and even a cousin contributes towards buying a home. When it goes directly to the bank or escrow they feel they truly are contributing to help you get that special home.Otherwise there are great first time buyer products with as little as 3% down and lower rates than standard conventional loans...even for modest credit scores.You really ought to locate a mortgage broker licensed in Florida who has many loans at his/her disposal but particularly Home Possible, Home Ready and maybe even a State or local down payment assistance program. Typically you can go up to a $424,100 loan amount then.

Are you working with a lender? If not please give me a call and ask for Ray. 305-417-6012. Www.teamrayrod.com

Yes, that is correct. Your FHA LOAN AMOUNT must be no higher than the local loan limit, and you must put at least 3.50% down. But, you can still buy a home over the limit, your down payment just needs to get you to no higher than the limit. So in your example, a $298,000 home with a 3.50% down payment would be a loan of $287,500 (your local limit). To find the local limit in your area, go to http://joemetzler.com/fhaloans.htm
