FHA Rates
Starting out and looking to make that first time home purchase through FHA?
What Is An FHA Loan?
FHA loans are backed by the Federal Housing Administration. FHA loans are insured by the FHA. This means that your lender is protected/insured against loss in the event of a loan default.
The big attractive feature of FHA loans is low down payment requirements. Additionally, FHA loans are generally more favorable when you have a lower credit score.
FHA loans tend to be extremely popular with first time home buyers due to the low down payment requirement and less stringent credit score minimums.
How Do FHA Loans Work?
The FHA does not lend any money for FHA loans. Instead, they determine who qualifies for FHA insured mortgages. They dictate the rules lenders must follow in qualifying individuals for FHA insured mortgage loans.
