Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is an FHA loan?

An FHA loan is a mortgage insured by the Federal Housing Administration. That backing lets lenders offer more flexible qualifying guidelines and a lower down payment than many conventional loans.

Does an FHA loan require mortgage insurance?

Yes. FHA loans include mortgage insurance premiums that protect the lender. We'll explain how they work and how they factor into your monthly payment for your specific scenario.

What credit do I need for an FHA loan?

FHA guidelines tend to be more flexible than conventional programs, but the exact requirements depend on your full financial picture. Getting pre-qualified is the fastest way to know where you stand.

Can I use an FHA loan for any home?

FHA loans are intended for primary residences and the property must meet certain standards and an appraisal. Your loan officer will help you understand what qualifies.

FHA or conventional — which is better?

It depends on your credit, savings, and goals. FHA shines on flexibility and a lower upfront investment; conventional can be stronger once you have solid credit and a larger down payment. We'll compare both for you.
