What is an FHA Mortgage

FHA loans are designed for first-time homebuyers and those purchasing their primary residences. They offer more flexible qualification requirements and credit criteria. They are ideal for those who might find other loan options restrictive.

An FHA loan is not a regular mortgage. It is a home-financing option insured by the government. This means that while an approved bank or lender gives out the loan, it has the backing of the Federal Housing Administration. This offers an added layer of security to both the lender and the borrower.
