A Guide to the Selection Criteria Page
This screen lets you find the type of FHA-approved lender you
need in a location convenient to you. You may build a search in several
different ways. You should make certain a "
a " appears in the box
next to the FHA mortgage insurance program in which you are interested
(Title I, Title II, HECM, 203K). The following information can assist
you in building your search.
Use this to find information on a lender of which you are
already aware, such as whether it is FHA-approved. It is
not necessary to enter anything in this box otherwise. A
full or a partial name of a HUD approved Lending Institution
may be entered. All institutions beginning with that name
will be searched, and a count of all branches and details
of the institution(s) branches will be presented.
A state must be selected if you want a list of Institutions that
are doing business in a specific state. This criteria will take
precedence over any "located in" criteria which may be specified.

If no state is selected, Lending Institutions that are located in
that state will be shown. This is used as a selection criteria as
long as no state is selected in the "Doing Business in" state box.
A full or a partial name of a city may be entered. Lending
Institutions that are located in cities beginning with that name will

selected in the "Doing Business in" state box.

- 10, 20, 30 or 40.
