How FHA Loans Work
FHA loans are mortgage loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), designed to help borrowers with lower credit scores or limited down payment funds. These loans offer more flexible lending standards, making homeownership accessible to more people.
Key Features
- Interest Rates: FHA loans typically have competitive interest rates. These rates can be fixed or adjustable, depending on the loan type.
- Loan Limits: The FHA sets limits on the amount you can borrow, which vary by location and property type. These limits are usually higher in high-cost areas.
- Down Payments: FHA loans require a minimum down payment of 3.5% of the purchase price for borrowers with a credit score of 580 or higher. For those with lower credit scores, a 10% down payment may be required.
Eligibility Criteria
- Credit Score: FHA loans are accessible to borrowers with lower credit scores.
- Debt-to-Income Ratio: FHA guidelines typically allow for a higher debt-to-income ratio compared to conventional loans. The preferred DTI is usually below 43%, but exceptions can be made.
- Employment and Income: Borrowers must have a steady employment history, usually for at least two years, and proof of consistent income.
