FHA mortgage loans continue gain in popularity. Since the credit/mortgage crisis of 2007, mortgage lender guidelines have become increasingly restrictive. The rigid down payment requirements, combined with the overall restrictive lending guidelines for conventional home loans have caused an increase in FHA mortgage originations for home purchases this year.
The strict credit restrictions for conventional loans has also limited refinance activity and is causing an increase in FHA refinances for both existing FHA loans that are being refinanced from lower mortgage rates and existing conventional loans that are being refinanced into FHA loans to take advantage of both lower FHA mortgage rates and less severe credit, income and loan to value requirements.
