FHA Home Loans
FHA Home Loans feature low down payments and flexible guidelines to make it easier to qualify. FHA loans are popular with first time home buyers but they can be equally attractive to move-up buyers. FHA home loans are insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), a division of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). HUD does not generally provide the funds for the mortgages, but they insure (see Mortgage Insurance) mortgage loans made by private industry lenders such as banks and mortgage bankers. HUD/FHA offers a variety of single family home loan programs including single family (1-4 unit homes) mortgage lending programs.
FHA Mortgage Insurance
Mortgage Insurance FHA mortgage loans include a Mortgage Insurance Premium (MIP). FHA home loans require mortgage insurance premium (MIP) to offset the insurance risk involved. HUD uses both one-time (for most single family mortgages except condo loans and 203K rehab loans) and monthly methods of collecting MIP. The one-time MIP is collected at the loan closing, and may be added to the loan amount and paid off along with the rest of the loan.
FHA Fixed Rate
FHA Fixed Rate FHA fixed rate loans are mortgages with an interest rate that does not change over time. If you refinance into an FHA fixed rate loan, your principal and interest payment will not change as interest rates rise. If you're original loan is an FHA adjustable rate (ARM), stop worrying about rising house payments and interest rate adjustments. The streamline refinance can help you lock-in a low FHA fixed rate mortgage today.
FHA Benefits
FHA mortgages offer advantages that tend to reduce the cost impact of MIP:
Entire down payment can come from a gift.
FHA loans feature low down payments and flexible guidelines making qualifying easier.
FHA Loans are assumable by qualified borrowers.
FHA offers the advantage of Streamlined Refinancing (no requalifying required).
