What’s an FHA Mortgage?

An FHA mortgage loan is insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). An FHA loan is typically one of the easiest types of mortgage loans to qualify for because it requires a low down payment and you can have less-than-ideal credit.

FHA Loan Advantages

  • Credit Scores can be as low as 500.
  • FHA loans are eligible for “streamline” refinances, which is a quicker and cheaper way to refinance your loan in a low interest rate period.
  • Less down payment is required, with a 3.5 percent minimum.
  • FHA loans typically will have a lower base interest rate than a comparable conventional loan.
  • FHA loans are assumable, meaning the interest rate and mortgage balance can be assumed by a new buyer.
  • Can use a non-occupant co-borrower to help qualify for the loan using blended ratios.
  • 30-, 25-, 20- and 15-year terms are all available with fixed rates

FHA Loan Requirements
