Government-Insured Loans
There are loan programs that provide federal assistance so more Americans can become homeowners. They are typically easier to qualify for if the borrower meets the conditions of the program, and they provide favorable loan terms, such as lower down payments.
- FHA Loans
With the security of a government-insured loan by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), you can purchase a home with as little as 3.5% down or complete a cash out refinance up to 85% of your home's value. Other FHA Loan features include:
- Available in fixed-rate or adjustable-rate
- Lower down payment
- Does not require purchase of separate private mortgage insurance (PMI)
- Can be secured even if credit scores and income fall below traditional measures
