FHA Mortgage Loans

Advice You Can Trust

Whether you're a first time homebuyer, moving to a new home, or want to refinance your existing conventional or Federal Housing Administration (FHA) mortgage, the FHA loan program will let you purchase a home with a low down payment and flexible guidelines.

FHA loans offer flexibility with:

Difficult credit situations. FHA loans take into account not only your credit score, but your other debt and offers more flexible lending policies than conventional loans.

Lower down payments. Most conventional loans won’t allow a lower credit borrower to also have a low down payment but FHA loans allow for as low as 3.5% down.

More buying power. FHA loans allow you to be approved for more than you would typically qualify for on a conventional loan.
