the? process of my FHA loan? I been approved for a fha loan and put a bid on a foreclosed house that cost $28,000. She mentioned something about HOPA and a investor buying it...What does this all mean and why would a investor need to buy the house if it's bank owned and the repairs are minor and I made an offer on the house to the bank and not a investor?

Your agent should be able to explain it to you in plain english. If she can't, find another agent.

I'm not sure, I guess it's because the lack of credit since I have no traditional established credit. I always paid for my stuff in cash and the house being only $28,000. She said the banks had tightened up on credit lending since last time I was approved over 90days ago. That is what my update of a pre-approval was for because the offer from the bank had wanted that information I guess when they accepted the offer.
