Four reason to ask for an FHA Loan

FHa gives prospective home buyers the ability of becoming homeowners. There are lots of reasons to ask for an FHA loan instead of taking a conventional or an expensive and risky sub-prime mortgage loan. Why not take advantage of the many benefits and protections that only come with FHA:

Qualify is easier – FHa does not provide financing. Their job is to insure your mortgage loan, so a lender is more willing to give you a loan with lower qualifying requirements so its easier for you to buy.

Less than Perfect Credit Ok – Even if you have had credit problems, such as medical collections or bankruptcy, its easier for you to qualify for an FHA loan than a conventional loan. For example. FHA might not require , for you, to pay off medical collections in order to qualify.

Low Downpayment – FHA have a low 3.5% downpayment, and that money can come from a family member, employer or charitable organization. Other loans don’t allow this. A conventional loan requires 5%, 10% etc for down payment.

Costs Less – Many times, FHA loans have competitive interest rates because the loans are insured by the Federal Government. Always compare an FHA loan with other loan types.

If you are buying your first home or move-up home, you owe it to yourself to look at FHA.

Less-than-perfect credit is OK

The FHA doesn’t mandate a minimum credit score, according to Vicki Bott, HUD deputy assistant secretary for

single-family housing. Instead, each borrower’s creditworthiness is considered in context. Some leeway is allowed, even for borrowers who’ve filed for bankruptcy.

That said, however, lenders can overlay their own requirements on top of the FHA’s guidelines. Some lenders might require a minimum credit score. Ask prospective lenders about such a requirement if your credit is less than perfect.

“Lenders underwrite FHA loans to ensure that the customer has the willingness and capability to repay the loan, but we do have flexibility beyond pure credit score to look at the borrower’s financial situation,” Bott says.
