FHA Loans Help Put More Families in Homes

The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) was established to improve housing standards and to provide an adequate home financing system with mortgage insurance. The FHA loan program helps families that may otherwise be excluded from the housing market finally buy their dream home.

Learn All About FHA Loans

An FHA loan is a mortgage insured by the Federal Housing Administration. FHA loan requirements are less strict than many conventional loans, and feature low down payment options and flexible credit and income guidelines. Borrowers need to make a minimum down payment of 3.5%. FHA loans are popular among first-time home buyers who have little savings or credit restrictions.

FHA loan types

There are a number of FHA loans available from a Basic Home Mortgage Loan 203 (b), 203 (k) Rehab Mortgage and more. 

Lower down payment

You can borrow up to 96.5% of the value of a home with an FHA loan. This means your FHA down payment could be as low as 3.5%.

Higher debt-to-income ratios

The FHA requires a debt-to-income (DTI) ratio of less than 60, meaning that your mortgage payment plus all other monthly debts can’t be more than 60% of your pretax income.

203(k) Loans

An FHA 203(k) loan finances the purchase and renovation of a home. The cost of upgrades are rolled into the mortgage, allowing home-owners to pay for the renovations over time. Since 203(k) loans are insured by the Federal Housing Administration, they offer qualification requirements that aren’t as strict as other renovation loans.
