🏡 Buy Your First (or Next) Home with an FHA Loan
💬 “Flexible credit. Low down payment. A clear path to homeownership — even if life hasn’t been perfect.”
📘 What Is an FHA Loan?
An FHA loan is a government-backed mortgage insured by the Federal Housing Administration. It’s designed to help more buyers — especially first-time homeowners, those with credit challenges, or limited savings — purchase a home with confidence.
FHA loans offer lower down payments, flexible qualification standards, and strong consumer protections.
✅ Why Choose an FHA Loan?
-
✅ As little as 3.5% down payment
-
✅ Credit scores from 580+ may qualify
-
✅ More flexible DTI ratios than conventional loans
-
✅ Use gift funds or down payment assistance
-
✅ Competitive fixed-rate loan options
-
✅ Eligible for 1–4 unit primary residences
-
✅ Non-occupant co-borrowers allowed (e.g., parents helping kids)
💬 Perfect for buyers recovering from financial setbacks or those with non-traditional income sources.
👥 Who’s a Good Fit for an FHA Loan?
✔️ First-time or returning homebuyers
✔️ Credit score 580 or higher
