What is the difference between Title I and Title II lender approvals?
Title II approved lenders can participate as a mortgagee or loan correspondent in the FHA Title II loan programs, such as 203(b), 203(k), HEMCs, Condos and Multifamily. Title I approved lenders can participate as a lender or loan correspondent in the two FHA Title I loan programs, — the property improvement loan program (2nd mortgages) and the manufactured housing (mobile) home program (where the home is classified as personal property).
