What is an FHA Loan?

An FHA Loan is a home loan that is federally insured by the Federal Housing Administration through HUD.  FHA is designed to increase access to home ownership through lower down payment requirements and federally provided mortgage insurance. FHA has maximum loan limits based upon the home price index for each Metropolitan Statistic Area (MSA).  We can determine what the maximum mortgage amount is for your MSA.  FHA allows for a low down payment as low as 3.5%. This can be your own funds or a gift from a family member. In addition to your down payment closing costs must be paid for; however, the seller can contribute up to 6% of the purchase price to cover your closing costs or we can do a no closing cost loan and cover your closing costs for you.
