Southern Land Consultants, Inc. is LA state certified and on the FHA Roster of approved residential appraisers.

If your financial transaction is FHA approved, that means that the loan has been guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration, which is underneath the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The lending organization provides all the money in the loan; the FHA simply backs the transaction through mortgage insurance in case the borrower does not pay off his or her loan. Available to all homebuyers, FHA loan programs are built to help credit-worthy low-income and moderate-income families who do not have the qualifications for conventional loans.

Typically, a buyer has to pay less of a down payment on an FHA-insured loan, while the rates remain standard market rates. The loan programs that the Federal Housing Administration offers are incredibly useful to buyers with less starting income.
