Question 1

Does FHA cover properties with well and septic in Tuolumne County?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but both systems require inspection and must meet FHA health standards. Budget extra time for this step.

Question 3

Can I use FHA to buy a cabin or vacation home in Jamestown?

Accepted Answer

No. FHA requires the property to be your primary residence. Vacation or investment use disqualifies the loan.

Question 4

How long does FHA mortgage insurance last?

Put less than 10% down and MIP stays for the life of the loan. The only exit is to refinance into a conventional loan.

Question 5

Is a 580 credit score enough to get approved in practice?

Accepted Answer

580 meets FHA's minimum, but individual lenders may set higher standards. We shop lenders who work with scores in that range.
