What is an FHA Loan?

An FHA Loan is a Loan backed by the Federal Housing Administration. Although FHA Loans tend to have more restrictions than Conventional Loans (certain homes may not qualify at all for an FHA Loan; townhomes, condos, and properties that need renovation will need prior FHA approval), they’re a good option for buyers with limited savings or lower credit scores. If you’re considering an FHA Loan, remember that they:

• Typically require a 3.5% down payment, but 100% financing is available
• Require a 580+ credit score
• Require the buyer to pay FHA mortgage Insurance (regardless of down payment size)
