"I'm guessing that like any FHA loan, if the 'buyer' starts to make more income, the monthly payment goes up."

Is that true?

No it's not. I had an FHA loan on my last house. It was locked in like any conventional loan.

1) No down payment required for qualifing buyers.

I made a down payment albeit minimal and paid closing costs.

IF the FHA home buyer is in good standing when they sell their home & they sell it at a profit, that profir belongs to the seller & not the FHA.

Right again!

that'd be the FHA. ...a.ka the taxpayer.

Right again. If you have ever known anyone who has been foreclosed by FHA, I guarantee they are total deadbeats. The FHA does not want to be in the real estate business. If you work with them, they will work with you. I was in pretty desperate straights. However, I had the home up for sale, the property was clean and well tended and no one gave me any grief.

Thanks to all for correcting me on facts about FHA loans. Possibly I was confusing it with a HUD subsidized loan?

I thought I knew what I was talking about, but I guess I was *fullovit.*

Oh well, considering many of the posters these days here FR? At least I know I've got plenty of company! :^)

Regards.
