How this mortgage path is commonly used
FHA publishes annual mortgage limits. The applicable limit depends on the property location and number of units, and it is not the same as a borrower’s approval amount.
Potential features
- Compare a target loan amount with the applicable limit
- Review one- to four-unit categories
- Use county-specific information
- Pair the limit with payment and affordability analysis
Important considerations
- Limits change annually
- High-cost and special-area rules may differ
- Approval depends on the complete borrower and property profile
- Verify the current county figure through HUD
