FHA loans make homeownership more achievable for everyone, particularly first time buyers, because you don't need a big down payment or perfect credit.
FHA loans typically require a down payment of just 3.5% of the purchase price of the home. This is significantly lower than conventional loans, which typically range from 5% to 20%.
While FHA loans for consider credit history, they are generally more lenient than conventional loans. Even a credit score in the 500s can qualify for an FHA loan.
To ensure that FHA loans remain accessible across income levels and housing markets, FHA loan limits vary by county and are based on the median home prices in each area.
Although FHA loans require a Mortgage Insurance Premium, this can be rolled into the loan amount. These insurances allow FHA to offer more favorable terms for lower down payments and credit scores.
Before an FHA loan is approved, appraisers assess the property to ensure it meets the FHA property standards to qualify for financing. These standards ensure that what you buy is structurally sound, safe, and livable.
One of the unique FHA loan features is that they are assumable. This means that if you sell, the buyer can take over your FHA loan. This can be beneficial if interest rates have risen since you obtained your loan, as the buyer may be able to assume your lower rate loan, potentially making your home more attractive to buyers.
