Changing FHA Lenders Florida

Changing FHA Lenders Florida

Changing FHA lenders requires the FHA case number to be transferred to the new lender. A request is made to the old lender to transfer the FHA case number. This usually takes a day or two but in real time should only take a few minutes to do.

If an appraisal has been competed once the FHA case number has been transferred the new lender can use the appraisal you already have. A new application will need to be competed and signed.

If your current lender has taken too long to close or keeps telling you to jump thru endless hoops and you want to change lenders it should take us about 14 days to close if the appraisal and title have been competed.

Your first step is to get pre-approved by calling 888.958.5382. The pre-approval process takes about 15 minutes. Once you have been pre-approved a new mortgage application will be sent to you.

In fact, even if you have had credit problems, such as a bankruptcy, it's easier for you to qualify for an FHA loan than a for a conventional loan. Credit scores down to 500 are accepted if there are compensating factors that offset the credit risk.
