In many cases, these FHA approved borrowers have lower credit score requirements than conventional loan programs.  So don’t assume that bad credit, or no credit, will automatically disqualify for for an FHA mortgage.

The outer boundary will be marked similar to a single family home. You can check the legal description, if marked as a lot and block in county records to tell for sure if you own the single unit and you will qualify for an FHA mortgage.
