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.
