Make Sure You Can Afford Your FHA Loan
The most important factor of all is to never, ever take out a loan that you cannot, or will eventually be unable to afford. Even the FHA has its limitations and they have to repossess houses for non-payment of loans. Foreclosures are rife in the US at present and no new home owner wants to burden themselves with a responsibility like this.
Quite a few people take out bad credit FHA loans and have no idea whether they can realistically afford them or not. This can lead to a lot of problems because not paying back loans will kill your credit and damage your ability to pay in the future.
