What is an FHA loan?

FHA loans are backed by the US Government. The interest rates are low, and you only need a 3.5% down payment. FHA loans have less stringent credit guidelines compared to conventional mortgages. First-time homebuyers tend to choose this type of loan because it's easier to qualify for.

What is an FHA Fixed-rate Mortgage?

With an FHA fixed-rate mortgage, your interest rate will remain the same during the term of the loan, which makes budgeting much easier. The only time your monthly payment will change is if your property taxes or insurance does.
