do fha loans have a standard limit or is it based on the area you live, or on appraised value of home?

It is based on the area that your live in, higher priced areas have much higher limits than other areas of the country. Use the FHA website to find your loan limit here: https://entp.hud.gov/idapp/html/hicostlook.cfm.

they are based by county for the loan limit

Yes,the FHA loan limits are based on the area that you live in or purchasing the house in. You can go to the FHA website put in the property address and it will tell you the loan limit.

You can input your State and County here and find out the loan limits for your area: https://entp.hud.gov/idapp/html/hicostlook.cfm

Below is the site where you can look up you county loan limit for FHA loans, but FYI. now days you could get a conventional loan with 3% instead of 3.5% down payment and lower MI than FHA loans. https://entp.hud.gov/idapp/html/hicostlook.cfm

It's based on the county you live in as well as the property type.. if your purchasing a 4 plex for example, your loan limit would be much higher than if you purchase a single family home..

Hi Stephanie, There are 3 counties in NM that allow for higher FHA loan limits. Santa Fe County is one. Is the loan limit causing problems for you? If so I may be able to help. I'm in Albuquerque and have some non-FHA loan products that may be a solution. Let me know how I can help. Charlie Sparks, NMLS# 195031, charlie@pinnaclecapitalnm.com
