FHA Loans – Cost Less
An FHA loan is a mortgage insured by the Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”), a government agency within the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. These loans are a safe, viable option for building credit in today’s tough real estate market. Your down-payment can be as low as 3.5% of the purchase price, and in many cases your closing costs and fees can be included in the loan. The FHA loans allows (up to 6%) home sellers, builders and lenders to pay some of the borrower’s closing costs, which include appraisal, credit reports and/or title expenses.
Two Mortgage Insurance Premiums are required on all FHA loans. The first is the upfront premium and the second is the annual premium.
