Achieve homeownership with as little as 3.5% down. FHA loans are backed by the Federal Housing Administration and designed for buyers who need flexible credit guidelines and affordable monthly payments.

Why FHA Loans

Key Benefits

Low Down Payment

Put as little as 3.5% down, making homeownership accessible even if you haven't saved a large amount.

Flexible Credit Requirements

Qualify with a credit score as low as 580 for the 3.5% down option, or 500 with a 10% down payment.

First-Time Buyer Friendly

One of the most popular programs for first-time buyers thanks to lower barriers to entry and competitive rates.

Government-Backed Security

FHA insurance protects lenders, which means more favorable terms and easier qualification for you.

Gift Funds Allowed

Your down payment can come from family gifts, grants, or down payment assistance programs.
