FHA loan limits for Wisconsin in 2016

FHA Loan Limits, Wisconsin Mortgage

Loans backed by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) can be secured even if the buyer has a down payment as low as 3.5 percent. Many first-time buyers use FHA loans to help them secure a loan even when they don’t have a large lump sum in savings.

FHA loans are commonly known as helper loans, and they are not meant to fund a multi-million dollar second home in Miami. To ensure buyers using FHA loans are borrowing responsibly, FHA loans have limits that are set by county. Below are the FHA loan limits for single-family homes across every county in Wisconsin.

Pro tip: Some cities are technically located across multiple counties, so check with your REALTOR® or lender to see what the loan limits are on specific homes near the county line.
