FHA MORTGAGE

A FHA Mortgage (Federal Housing Administration) is a loan that is guaranteed by the Federal Government. When going on a FHA Mortgage, it will be necessary to qualify both the borrower and the property. This loan requires a minimum credit score of 580 and a maximum debt to income ratio of 45% (may vary per situation). FHA requires a minimum down payment of 3%. With this loan there will be a 1.5% Up Front Mortgage Insurance Premium (UFMIP) that can either be financed into the loan or paid out of pocket. There is also a monthly mortgage insurance associated with this program that will be mandatory unless purchasing the home on a 15 year term and putting at least 10% down.
