FHA Loans
Helping Americans Realize the Dream of Homeownership
A popular mortgage for first time homebuyers with a low down payment.
A Great Option for First Time Home Buyers
A FHA loan is one that is insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), which is part of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). This makes a FHA loan a government home loan. FHA loans are popular mortgages among first time home buyers because the down payment can be as low as 3.5% of the purchase price, and most of the closing costs and fees can be included in the loan.
