FHA Loan

An FHA loan is a popular option for first time homebuyers! What are the benefits of a FHA Loan?

Lower Down Payment

The minimum down payment for an FHA home mortgage is only 3.5%. That means if you’re purchasing a home for $175,000, you only need a little over $6,000 for your down payment.

Easier Credit Qualification

Credit scores play a huge part in the type of home loan you qualify for and the rates you’re eligible for. FHA loans offer some of the lowest credit requirements of any loan.

Covered Closing Costs

Some loans require the borrower to cover all of these associated costs. Good news. With FHA loans home sellers, builders, and lenders are able to pay some of these costs..

Approved FHA Lender

The Federal Housing Administration does not lend directly to borrowers. Instead, it relies on vetted and approved mortgage lenders to assist borrowers with FHA financing.

FHA Frequently Asked Questions

: Your down payment will partially depend on your credit score. The higher your credit score, the lower your down payment can be. The minimum down payment for an FHA loan, however, is 3.5%.

You should also know that the higher your down payment, the less interest you’ll pay over the life of your loan and less you’ll pay month to month.
: The Federal Housing Administration changes the loan limits that it will insure every year. The maximum, also known as the ceiling, and the minimum, also known as the floor, vary according to the cost of living in each area. To learn more about the limits in your area, contact a mortgage consultant.
: You must have a minimum credit score of 500-579, but will need a minimum down payment of 10%. To be considered eligible for the 3.5% down payment, you need a credit score of 580 or higher.
: If your down payment is less than 20%, you will be required to pay mortgage insurance. With an FHA home loan, you’ll pay two types of mortgage insurance premiums. When you get the loan, you’ll pay an upfront premium, which will be .75% of the loan amount. Most of the time, an upfront premium can be rolled into the financed loan. The second type of mortgage premium is an annual premium, which is paid monthly according to the terms of your loan.
