FHA Home Loan

580+ Credit · 3.5% Down · FHA Insured

FHA loans are available for people with credit scores of 580 or higher and down payments as low as 3.5%. This makes FHA loans more accessible than other mortgages.

Who are FHA Loans best for?

FHA home loans are a great option for people whose credit scores are 580 and higher, and who have at least a 3.5% down payment. These more lenient financial qualifications make FHA loans a popular option for first-time home buyers, though you don't need to be a first-time buyer to qualify.

How do FHA Loans work?

FHA mortgages are insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). The FHA protects lenders against defaults on payments. This makes it easier for you to qualify and allows lenders to offer lower interest rates.

What Are The Qualifications For An FHA Loan?

To qualify for an FHA loan, you'll need:

  • A minimum 3.5% down payment
  • A minimum FICO® Score of 580
  • A debt-to-income ratio (DTI) of no more than 50% and a steady employment history. Estimate your DTI by adding your monthly debt payments (such as credit card and car payments) and dividing the total by your monthly income before taxes
  • Money to cover the upfront mortgage insurance premium (UFMIP). The amount is usually equal to 1.75% of your loan amount
  • Money to cover closing costs, which could be anywhere from 2–6% of the purchase price
