FHA Loans

Government-backed loans with as little as 3.5% down, ideal for first-time buyers.

How an FHA Loan Works

FHA loans are insured by the Federal Housing Administration, which lets lenders accept a smaller down payment and a lower credit score than most conventional programs allow. The trade-off is mortgage insurance, paid up front and monthly.

Gift funds from family can cover the down payment, and sellers can contribute toward your closing costs. We check both before you make an offer, so the numbers are settled early.

What to Expect

  • An upfront mortgage insurance premium added to the loan
  • A monthly premium for most of the life of the loan
  • An FHA appraisal that also checks the home is safe and sound
  • Loan limits set by county, which we confirm for your area
