What are FHA Loans?

FHA loan products are some of the most popular mortgage options today. They represent over 25% of all mortgages in the country.

As their name suggests, FHA loans are loans insured by the FHA or Federal Housing Administration. Because of this guarantee provided by the government, loans under the FHA programs pose less risk to mortgage companies. Lenders can offer FHA loans at much more favorable terms and with a less stringent qualification process.

  • FICO score of at least 580
  • Down payment of at least 3.5% of the home’s value
  • Debt-to-income ratio of 50% or lower
  • Steady source of income
  • At least 2 years of work history with the same employer
  • Home must be used as primary residence
  • Home must pass FHA inspection

If you meet most or all of these requirements, then qualifying for an should not be a problem for you. It’s important to note, however, that a specific lender’s standards may be different from the ones set by the FHA.
