FHA Loan
What is an FHA Loan?
FHA loans are a great option for those who have limited credit or income. They offer low down payments and flexibility in credit requirements. FHA mortgage brokers work with FHA-approved wholesale lenders so that clients (home buyers) may take advantage of the many programs offered by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) such as first-time homeowners’ government-insured loan options.
FHA loans are funded and serviced by HUD-approved banks, credit unions, and mortgage lending companies. Our mortgage brokerage firm has dealt with this kind of financing for many years and we can make the process quick and simple.
