FHA

Federal Housing Administration Mortgages

The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) is a federal agency within the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The FHA guarantees both fixed and adjustable rate mortgages offered through Fairway. The FHA exists to facilitate housing opportunities and is widely used for first-time home buyers. FHA loans are also available for refinancing a home. The advantages for the FHA loan include, but are not limited to: great for 1st time home buyers, flexible credit requirements and down payments can be a gift from a family member, employer, non-profit organization or government instrumentality.

The FHA was started back in the early 30´s as a means to help the US build and provide affordable housing for US citizens during and after the Great Depression. FHA is designed to help people purchase homes with low down payments, providing financing with only a 3.5% down payment. And despite what many believe, FHA is not restricted to first time home buyers.
