Frequently Asked Questions
Is an FHA loan only for first-time homebuyers?
No. FHA loans are commonly used by first-time buyers, but they are not limited to them. As long as you meet eligibility requirements, you can use an FHA loan again in the future.
How much do I need for a down payment?
FHA loans allow for a minimum down payment of 3.5% for qualified buyers. In some cases, down payment assistance programs may help cover part or all of that amount.
What credit score is needed for an FHA loan?
FHA loans are designed to be more flexible, with many buyers qualifying with lower credit scores compared to conventional loans.
Do FHA loans require mortgage insurance?
Yes. FHA loans include both an upfront mortgage insurance premium and a monthly mortgage insurance payment. Unlike conventional loans, this mortgage insurance may remain for the life of the loan unless refinanced.
What types of homes can I buy with an FHA loan?
FHA loans are intended for primary residences and can be used for single-family homes, certain multi-unit properties (where you live in one unit), and some manufactured homes that meet guidelines.
Can I use an FHA loan more than once?
Yes. FHA loans can be used multiple times, although there are specific guidelines. Typically, you can only have one FHA loan at a time unless you meet certain exceptions, such as relocating or significant life changes.
