The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) determines the FHA loan limits each year. Each county has its own limits and is typically based on the previous year’s median sales price. It’s also based on a formula, or the percentage of conforming loan limits set by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA).

The lowest FHA loan limit is known as the “floor,” and is $524,225 in 2025. This amount is 65% of the national confirming limit of $806,500 for single-family properties. The “ceiling,” or highest FHA loan limit, is 150% of the conforming loan limit. For 2025, it is set at $1,209,750.

Finally, Alaska, Hawaii, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands are designated as special exception areas that have even higher limits of $1,814,625 for a single-family home in 2025.

Homeowners who may not be able to qualify for a conventional loan or other types of government-backed mortgages can consider FHA loans as an alternative. It’s possible to borrow up to $688,850 in Georgia. While requirements may be less stringent, you will need to meet the following criteria:

  • Credit score: Homebuyers can qualify for an FHA loan with a credit score of at least 500. However, borrowers with a minimum 580 credit score can take advantage of lower down payment requirements.
  • Down payment: Lenders require borrowers with a 500 credit score to put down at least 10%, but that down payment requirement goes down to 3.5% if you have a credit score of at least 580.
  • FHA home appraisal: To qualify for a home purchase, you will need to complete an FHA home appraisal. This is so the lender can physically inspect the building to ensure it’s up to standards and to determine its current market value.
  • Mortgage insurance: All loans require FHA mortgage insurance. The upfront mortgage insurance premium (UFMIP) is 1.75% and rolled into your mortgage. There is also the annual mortgage insurance premium (MIP), which is based on a percentage of your loan amount and paid monthly.
  • Debt-to-income (DTI) ratio: Most lenders will require that your DTI ratio is at or below 43%. In some cases, your DTI ratio can be as high as 45%.
  • Occupancy: The loan must be for your primary residence that you live in for at least one year.

Buying a multifamily property with an FHA loan

FHA loans also allow you to purchase a multifamily home of two to four units with only a 3.5% down payment. It tends to be a popular house hacking strategy, where you live in one unit while renting the others.

Some requirements you’ll need to meet include:

  • Meeting minimum DTI requirements — lenders may consider potential rental income to qualify for the loan, as well
  • At least a 580 credit score
  • If you decide to rent out the additional units, some amount of cash reserves on hand is required
  • The primary owner must occupy one of the units

FHA loan limits for multifamily homes in Georgia in 2025 are:

Three $811,275
Four $1,008,300
