An FHA loan is a mortgage that is insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). The FHA program was created in response to the increase in foreclosures and defaults during the 1930s. The FHA program provides approved mortgage lenders with adequate insurance and helps stimulate the housing market by making loans accessible and affordable for people with less than perfect credit or lower down payments. The federal government reduces risk to the lender in the event a borrower defaults on their mortgage payments.
FHA loans are very popular today, especially for first-time homebuyers because the requirements are less strict than conventional mortgages. Approved applicants can borrow as much as 96.5% financing with the FHA loan program.
Note: Florida residents that are employed full-time by any Florida-based company now have a way to obtain 100% FHA financing thanks to the Hometown Heroes Program. This program is reserved just for first-time buyers in Florida, please read more about the Hometown Heroes Loan Program here. Additional down payment assistance programs are also available to income eligible borrowers in other states.

Benefits of FHA Loans: Low down payments and less strict credit score requirements. Please note, the program does require a min 600 credit score for the max 96.5% financing. Typically, an FHA loan is one of the easiest types of mortgage loans to get because it requires a low down payment and has forgiving credit requirements. For FHA loans, a small down payment is all that’s required. In addition, the home buyer’s down payment can be gifted to them by family or eligible down payment assistance programs.
