FHA LOANS

An FHA (Federal Housing Administration) loan is a loan insured against default by the FHA. In other   words, the FHA guarantees that a lender won’t have to write off a loan   if the borrower defaults – the FHA will pay.
FHA loans are not for everybody. Nevertheless, they are a great help to some borrowers.
FHA loans allow people to buy a home with a down payment as small as 3.5%. Other loans might not allow such a low down payment.

FHA loans offer a few other bells and whistles:

3.5% down payment required on purchase Easier to use gifts for down payment and closing costs No prepayment penalty Financing  for home improvement using  FHA 203k programs

Who can get an FHA Loan?

Almost anybody can get an FHA loan. There are no income limits.  However, there are limits on how much you can borrow. In general, you’re limited to median home prices in your area.  To find the limits in your region, visit HUD’s Website. To qualify for an FHA loan, you’ll need to have reasonable debt to income ratios. You don’t need perfect credit but you will need to have a credit score of at least 620.
