The Benefits of FHA Loans

FHA Loans Help You Achieve Homeownership Dreams

Homeownership is an essential piece of the American Dream, and the FHA (Federal Housing Administration) backs mortgages so prospective homeowners without the capital to fund a mortgage can achieve that dream.

Benefits of FHA Loans

An FHA loan is federally insured, and qualifying is generally easier. Increased flexibility in household income requirements, payment ratios, and credit scores make FHA loans popular for first-time homebuyers.

Interest rates for FHA insured mortgages can be lower than conventional loans. With government backing, FHA loans are available to borrowers with lower credit scores than required by conventional loans. FHA loans also can fund other mortgage options including reverse mortgages*, streamline refinance rehab loans, and more.

Low down payment

• FHA mortgages allow homebuyers to pay as low as a 3.5% down payment.

Flexible credit qualifications
