Its popularity is fueled by its affordability coupled with relaxed qualification standards. If you are in Maryland and thinking of buying a home it should be among your mortgage considerations.

FHA Loan Requirements in Maryland
Qualifying for a Maryland FHA loan is not hard. You only need to make a down payment of 3.5% of the total loan amount and have a credit score of at least 640. Ideally you want your scores at 660 or higher so you can qualify for the best rate and the lowest payment. But that will depend on your credit history and other outstanding factors, something that Moreira Team can gladly help you with.

Other than a good credit score and down payment requirements, Maryland FHA loans also have fairly low-interest rates. In fact, the current market is more buyer-friendly than it has been in a long time. Plus the FHA allows sellers to pay up to 6% of the closing costs. Other loans have a maximum of 3%, so depending on how you negotiate with the seller, you can reduce the costs of your loan significantly.
In most Maryland counties, the base maximum limit for FHA loans is $356,362 but there are some counties with higher limits. For example in Talbot County the limit is $408,250 and in Cecil County it is $431,250. Other counties in Maryland, including Baltimore, the FHA loan limit is $538,200. And in Calvert County the limit maxes out at $822,375.
