FHA Loans
Insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), these loans are government-assisted alternatives to conventional financing, and were originally offered for first-time home buyers with imperfect credit. Now, FHA loans are open to a wider audience, and are even popular options for homeowners looking to refinance.
- Put Just 3.5% Down
- Easier to qualify for
- Fixed rate and Adjustable rates available
- Refinance a conventional loan into a FHA loan
- No prepayment penalties
Overall, FHA loans provide more flexibility in credit, income, and equity/down payment requirements, and are great alternatives to conventional loans. They do include a Mortgage Insurance Premium (MIP), as well as monthly mortgage insurance, but FHA loans still enable many homeowners who wouldn't qualify for conventional financing to purchase or refinance a home.
