FHA Approved Long Beach Condos Video

By Jay Valento

I created an FHA Approved Long Beach condos video for you.  I researched and developed a list of all FHA Approved condos and townhomes for sale in Long Beach to help you find them faster.  

Let’s review a couple of things before you look at the FHA Approved Long Beach condos video and review the list.

 

Interesting Facts to Ponder

The US Department of Housing and Urban Development has a list of approved condo buildings throughout the country.  But, the list is not merged with our California Regional Multiple Listing Service.

That’s a bummer if you are searching for a condo in Long Beach on our popular website or one of the advertising portals like Reatlor.com, Trulia or even Zillow.  The list of condos and townhomes are not update with FHA approved information.

So, the challenge for most home buyers like yourself looking for a condo or townhome is “where do I go to find the list of FHA approved condos or figure it out.”

 

Listing Agents Sometimes Forget

When a real estate agent signs a listing agreement to represent the seller for a condo, he or she should check the list to see if it is approved for FHA financing.  Many do not do that.

That’s why I create a list of FHA Approved Long Beach condos and townhomes to help you find it faster.  

I just listed a condo at the Aqua Towers in downtown Long Beach for $419,000.  It will be on the market this week.  Aqua use to be approved for FHA loans but it is not now.  The approval ended in September 2015.

But, your lender might be able to get the building approved or use another type of approval for non-fha approved buildings.  You agent should talk to your lender and see if they discussed all of the options with you.

 

FHA Mortgage Loans

If you are reading this article today, I assume your lender has reviewed your credit and finances. Then, based on that review, has approved you for FHA financing.

What is an FHA Loan?

A FHA loan is has more flexible guidelines for financing borrowers without a lot of savings and a lower credit score. Usually it allows you to purchase with as little as 3.5% of the purchase price as the down payment.

To learn more about all loans including FHA loans, I suggest reading mortgage lender Scott Schang’s article about the minimum down payment to give you some insights into it.  He covers the different down payments and gives you an overall review of financing options.

When buying a home, who you select as a lender and a Realtor make a difference.
