What is an FHA loan?

Among the options available for our clients is the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). As an approved FHA mortgage broker, we work with an FHA-approved wholesale lender to enable access to the FHA lending programs for our clients. FHA has several programs that can help homebuyers with limited credit or income including first-time homebuyers’ government-insured FHA home loans. FHA home loans are meant to reduce the barrier to entry for those who would like to buy a home or looking for refinancing by offering low down payments and flexibility in credit requirements. FHA insures home loans which are funded and serviced by HUD-approved banks, credit unions, and mortgage lending companies. As a mortgage brokerage firm that has dealt with this kind of financing for many years, we are well conversant with the requirements and can make the mortgage process quick, articulate, and simple.
