Answer by Lisa L
FHA does not do an inspection. An FHA appraiser does the appraisal. FHA has cut back on the rigid rules of a few years ago. That is why you should have an inspection done.

The appraiser will look in the attic for possible leaks or damage. S/he will go into crawl space. Be sure there is a vapor barrier in the crawl space. Broken glass is a problem but cracked glass is no longer a problem. That was a big surprise to me. The house should be safe, sildenafil sound & sanitary. A raised deck with no railing would be an issue as well as open stairs with no handrails if more than 3 steps. Peeling paint outside is an issue, more about possibly inside if house was built before 1978.

The appraiser is not an inspector. Unless it is glaring it probably will not be an issue. I repeat, get an inspection.

  1. If the new home will be your primary residence then you do not need 20% down but you will have some other stipulations. For example.
    Do you have 25% equity in your current home? If not you will need to be able qualify for the full payment on both properties without the rental income included. In addition you will need 6 months worth of each total mortgage payment in reserves. If your combined mortgage payments are $ 3,000.00 per month then you will need a minimum of $ 18,000.00.
