California FHA Home Loan
How it works:
√ Determine the type of FHA Government Loan your needs.
√ Complete an easy 2 minute application form.
√ We will forward your application to one and only one FHA Approved Lender who can best help you base.
- The type of loan you requested
- Your down-payment (if purchase loan)
- The location (State) your property is located
- Your credit history
- The best rate available for your loan
√ FHA Loan Specialist will respond within 1 business day. They will explain what type of loan you are approved for, and the options available to you.
√ Immediately that same day, the FHA Lender will overnight your pre-approval letter to you.
√ Review with no obligations your FHA Loan Pre-approval and locked rate.
Note - It is very important that you keep this letter. It is your official pre-approval on bank letterhead with your 'locked rate', and if purchasing a house, it is equally important that you present this letter to the real estate agent to confirm your pre-qualification status.
