FAQs

FHA loan questions

Have a question about fha loans? Call or text Loni at 352-598-1843.

All loan programs are subject to qualification, underwriting approval, and program availability.

What is the FHA loan limit in Marion County, Florida?
FHA loan limits are set annually by county. Marion and Citrus County limits typically follow the national floor for single-family homes. Loni can confirm the current limit and show you what it means for your price range.
Does FHA mortgage insurance ever go away?
With less than 10% down, FHA mortgage insurance stays for the life of the loan --- but you can refinance into a conventional loan later once you've built equity. Many Ocala buyers use FHA to get in, then refinance a few years later. Loni will map that strategy with you from day one.
