FHA Title 1
Home Improvement Loan

To make it easier for consumers to obtain affordable home improvement loans, the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), established the FHA Title 1 loan guarantee program.  This FHA insured home improvement loan program is a Second Mortgage that allows for loans up to $25,000 without any equity in the home.  Yes, that's correct! An approved homeowner can receive up to $25,000 above and beyond the appraised value of their home. 

The Title 1 home improvement loan option can be much more effective than a traditional Home Equity Loan or the more restrictive conventional Refinance program. Whether you're in Mississippi or you make your home in Tennessee, you really should consider the benefits of the FHA title 1 program. Want to learn more about this FHA insured home improvement loan?
