FHA Loans

FHA mortgages are one of the most popular home financing options for first time and repeat home buyers alike. The extremely low down payment, as low as 3.5 percent, can make it much easier to purchase a new home.

FHA loans are excellent for refinancing as well. Even homeowners without a lot of equity in their properties may be able to lower their interest rates, lower their monthly payment, or switch to a program that will better meet their needs with an FHA refinance.

The Benefits of an FHA Loan

FHA loans offer lower down payments and less restrictive credit score requirements when compared to many conventional loan programs. Plus, we offer FHA 203K loans allow borrowers to finance the cost of eligible home improvements into the loan amounts.

For those looking to refinance, FHA cash-out financing allows borrowers to tap into a higher portion of their equity than other conventional options. FHA streamline refinancing is a low cost option for those looking to lower their monthly payment or shorten the term of the loan.

Yes. There are FHA loan limits and they vary by area. You can research FHA financing limits through HUD’s website.

The cash-out loan-to-value limits are higher than most conventional financing options. This means that you can tap into more of your home’s equity for other purposes.
FHA streamline refinancing allows borrowers to refinance their existing FHA loans without many of the expenses associated with a typical refinance. In order to be considered for an FHA streamline refinance, your mortgage must be FHA insured, your loan should not be delinquent, and you must benefit from the transaction. For example, your mortgage payment could go down as a result. Or, potentially, you are switching from an adjustable rate mortgage to a fixed rate loan. Borrowers cannot take cash out with an FHA streamline.
203K refinancing allows borrowers to finance the costs of renovations into their loan amounts. Thus, they can avoid having to take out a second mortgages or construction loans at higher interest rates.
