<p>Elderly parent has a contract on her house from someone who wants to use FHA financing–anyone have any experience with regard to what this entails? Parent’s agent has been keeping us informed; right now we know that an appraiser/inspector will be coming to take pix of the interior and exterior of her home and looking for, among other things, “safety” issues according to real estate agent. It has already been inspected by an independant inspector who went over it with a fine tooth comb, but have heard that FHA people may look for different issues. Can anyone comment? We are excited that she was able to secure a contract on the home in this market, but we are now concerned with regards to regulation that FHA follows. And, elderly parent is very anxious about all of it!</p>
<p>We have never had to deal with FHA, but a friend who did said they were VERY concerned with the condition of the roof (in Western WA, where cedar shakes are very popular, we have a lot of roof issues).</p>
<p>Thanks-no cedar shake roof; plus she had the roof replaced in 2007. Anyone else?</p>
