The National Housing Act (NHA) requires FHA loan limits to be based on county median home prices, capped at 115% of the median sales price as estimated annually by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

FHA also sets national “floor” and “ceiling” limits based on the conforming loan limit for conventional mortgages (non-government loans) — $806,500 in 2025. The “floor” (standard FHA limit) is 65% of the conforming loan limit ($524,255), and the ceiling (highest FHA limit) is 150% of it ($1,209,750).

For example, Decatur County’s median home price is $202,000. Since 115% of this ($232,300) is below the floor limit, the FHA loan limit for the county defaults to $524,255. In Indiana, the 2025 FHA loan limit for single-family homes in all counties is $524,255, while higher limits apply to multifamily properties.

In other areas — Alaska, Hawaii, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands — an even higher limit of $1,814,625 applies because they are designated special exception areas due to higher housing costs and other factors.

To qualify for an FHA loan in Indiana, you must meet specific credit and eligibility standards set by the FHA. You’ll apply for your FHA loan with a private lender who may impose additional requirements.

At a minimum, you’ll need to meet the following qualifications:

  • Minimum down payment: The minimum down payment for FHA loans is 3.5%, with a 580 or higher credit score. A credit score between 500 and 579 will require a down payment of at least 10%.
  • Minimum credit score: You can qualify for an FHA loan with a score as low as 500, although you’ll need to put at least 10% down to do so. To make the minimum 3.5% down payment, you’ll need a minimum credit score of 580.
  • Maximum DTI ratio: FHA guidelines set the maximum debt-to-income (DTI) ratio (the sum of your monthly debt payments divided by your monthly pretax income) at 43%. However, lenders may approve a higher ratio in some cases.
  • Mortgage insurance: You’ll pay two types of mortgage insurance: an upfront premium of 1.75% of the mortgage amount (typically financed with the principal) and an annual mortgage insurance premium of 0.15% to 0.75% of the loan amount (calculated in your monthly mortgage payments).
  • Occupancy: You must live in the home as your primary residence for at least one year.
  • Employment and income: FHA loans don’t have income restrictions; however, lenders will verify you have at least two years of consistent employment and recurring income.
  • Home appraisal: The property must undergo a home appraisal to verify the market value and confirm it meets FHA’s property standards.

Buying a multifamily property with an FHA loan

The FHA loan program allows borrowers to purchase a multifamily home of two to four units with the same 3.5% minimum down payment as one-unit properties. These loans can help borrowers to start house hacking. To qualify, you must meet the standard FHA loan requirements and criteria unique to multifamily homes.

  • Minimum down payment: 3.5% (10% with a credit score between 500 and 579)
  • Minimum credit score: 580 with 3.5% down or 500 with 10% down
  • Primary residence occupancy: You must live in one of the units as your primary residence for at least one year.
  • Cash reserves: You’ll need to have a certain amount of cash reserves on hand.
  • Rental income: You can use a portion of the estimated rental income to qualify.

Indiana FHA loan limits for multifamily homes reach up to $1,008,300.
