That would depend on several factors like if the people you are working with are brokers or direct lenders. Their ability to underwrite in house vs. sending out will directly influence the time to close. Their overall knowledge of the FHA process and years of experience will play a factor. So in general do your best to work with a direct lender that has years of experience and specializes in FHA and you should do just fine.

In general we turn transactions in under two weeks but this will be different on purchase transactions where a specified closing date mandates when you close.
