FHA Closing Hang Ups

 January 29, 2016 Author: [Kevin Tamborrino, REALTOR ®](https://toddlocascio.com/agents/Kevin-Tamborrino-real-estate-professional-2074.html "Kevin Tamborrino") .jpg)Swimming Pools ; Clean it! A nasty, green dirty pool will need to be cleaned. Many underwriters will consider this a health hazard and require it to be sparkly blue and clean. Heating/Cooling; FHA only requires a heat source, a permanent heat source. A fireplace or wood stove is NOT a permanent heat source. Central air conditioning is not required, but if installed, must be operational. Electrical wiring; No exposed wires! This includes something as simple as a missing outlet cover or ceiling fixture. The wiring must be covered. These are just a few things that I find many times when performing FHA appraisals for lending. Every one of them can trigger a repair requirement. It may hold up your closing while you get the items fixed and wait for additional inspections that will be required. # Featured Listings Featured Listings [ 15014 Duck Hawk Road ](https://toddlocascio.com/listings/2251442-15014+duck+hawk+road-brooksville-fl-34614) Featured Listings [ 8216 Stockholm Street ](https://toddlocascio.com/listings/2254410-8216+stockholm+street-brooksville-fl-34613) Featured Listings [ 6113 Freeport Drive ](https://toddlocascio.com/listings/2251355-6113+freeport+drive-spring+hill-fl-34606) Featured Listings [ 0 Fernleaf Drive ](https://toddlocascio.com/listings/2253584-0+fernleaf+drive-hernando+beach-fl-34607) Featured Listings [ 3338 Fernleaf Drive ](https://toddlocascio.com/listings/2253585-3338+fernleaf+drive-hernando+beach-fl-34607) Featured Listings [ 11425 Billingham Boulevard ](https://toddlocascio.com/listings/2251354-11425+billingham+boulevard-spring+hill-fl-34609) Featured Listings [ 11405 Warm Wind Way ](https://toddlocascio.com/listings/2250469-11405+warm+wind+way-weeki+wachee-fl-34613) Featured Listings [ 0 Duck Hawk Road ](https://toddlocascio.com/listings/2253246-0+duck+hawk+road-weeki+wachee-fl-34614) [See All of Our Listings](https://toddlocascio.com/listings.html) ‹›
