What is an FHA Loan?
FHA loans are government insured loans backed by the Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD). This type of loan is very popular among first time homebuyers due to the low minimum down payment of 3.5% of the purchase price, and more flexible credit & underwriting standards.
FHA Loan Requirements:
- Minimum down payment of 3.5 percent. The money can be gifted by a family member or employer.
- Co-applicants may help you qualify, even if they will not be living in the home.
- This loan is only available for primary residency.
- The loan cannot exceed the maximum limit set by FHA on a county-by-county basis.
