FHA MORTGAGE

START YOUR HOME LOAN PROCESS!

What Is a FHA Loan?

FHA loans are backed by the Federal Housing Administration; they protect the lender from financial risk as they allow for a riskier client to purchase or refinance. With higher allowances for debt to income and a lower threshold for credit scores, these loans are ideal for first time home buyers. Down payments can be as low as 3.5% but with all the positives there are some catches; FHA loans require an Upfront Funding Fee but that can be financed into the loan. In addition, there is a monthly mortgage insurance premium and, in some cases, can last the entirety of the loan.

Advantages: Lower credit score requirements, scores can be as low as 500 but will require at least 10% down. 580 and above will require 3.5% down. Allows for higher debt to income ratios. Programs: 203B, 203K (Renovation loan) and Streamlines.
