What is an FHA loan?
They’re loans that are insured against default by the Federal Housing Administration. The average borrower will find FHA loans easier to qualify for than non-government-insured or conventional loans.
Who should get an FHA loan?
Almost anybody can qualify for a loan. There are no income limits – like you may find with first-time home-buyer programs. Borrowers are only limited to modest loan amounts relative to home prices in their area. In addition, you have to have outstanding credit.
What are the pros and cons of FHA loans?
Pros
- Allows borrowers to buy a home with a down-payment as small as 3.5%
- Easier to use gifts for down payment and closing cost
- Possible leniency during financial hard time
Cons
- Lenders may not provide enough money if you need a large loan
- The mortgage insurance premium can cost more than private mortgage insurance.
- More paperwork-intensive than conventional loans
