What Is an FHA Loan?

An FHA loan is a mortgage insured by the Federal Housing Administration, though it is issued by an approved private lender, not the government directly.

Repeat buyers can qualify too, as long as they meet program guidelines.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is an FHA loan only for first-time buyers?
No. While FHA loans are popular with first-time buyers, they are available to repeat buyers too, as long as you meet the program guidelines.
How is qualifying for an FHA loan different from a conventional loan?
FHA loans generally weigh credit and documentation more flexibly than conventional loans, which is part of why they are popular with first-time buyers. Down payment requirements are often more flexible too. We will compare your FHA and conventional options side by side so you can see the difference when reviewing.
Do I need a high credit score to qualify for an FHA loan?
Not necessarily. FHA guidelines are often more flexible on credit than many conventional programs, though the specific requirements can vary by lender. Reach out and we will look at your credit profile and tell you honestly where you stand.
Can I use an FHA loan to buy a second home or rental property?
FHA loans are built for buyers who will live in the home as their primary residence, not for second homes or rental properties. If you are shopping for an investment property, loan types such as DSCR financing may fit better. We can help you match the right program to your goal.
Does an FHA loan require mortgage insurance?
Yes, FHA loans generally require mortgage insurance, which works differently than private mortgage insurance on a conventional loan. The specifics depend on your loan and we will walk you through exactly how it applies before you commit to anything.
