FHA Loans
FHA loans are government-insured mortgage programs designed to help make homeownership more accessible for qualified borrowers. These loans are insured by the Federal Housing Administration and are offered through approved mortgage lenders.
FHA financing is commonly used by first-time homebuyers, but it is available to both first-time and repeat buyers who meet program guidelines.
Potential Benefits of an FHA Loan
- Down payment options as low as 3.5% for qualified borrowers
- Flexible credit qualification guidelines
- Fixed-rate and adjustable-rate options available
- Gift funds may be allowed for down payment and closing costs.
- Available for primary residences
FHA loans can be a helpful option for borrowers with limited savings, past credit challenges, or higher debt-to-income ratios.
Common Qualification Factors
Qualification is based on several factors, including:
- Credit history and score
- Income and employment
- Debt-to-income ratio
- Down payment and available assets
- Property eligibility and occupancy requirements
Mortgage insurance is required on FHA loans and may remain for the life of the loan in certain situations.
Finding The Right Loan Option
Every borrower’s financial situation is different. Our team will help review your goals and explain available mortgage options so you can make an informed decision about your financing choices.
All loans are subject to credit approval and program guidelines. Not all borrowers will qualify. Terms, conditions, and restrictions may apply.
VA Loans
VA loans are government-backed mortgage programs available to eligible veterans, active-duty service members, and certain qualifying military spouses. These loans are guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and are offered through approved mortgage lenders.
VA financing is designed to help eligible borrowers achieve homeownership with flexible financing options and reduced out-of-pocket costs. These benefits were created to recognize and support those who have served our country and the sacrifices made through military service.

- Competitive interest rates
- No monthly mortgage insurance requirement
- Flexible credit qualification guidelines
- More flexibility for qualifying debt-to-income ratios compared to some other loan programs
- Fixed-rate and adjustable-rate options available

VA loans may be a helpful option for borrowers who have limited savings, higher monthly debt obligations, or past credit challenges.
Common Qualification Factors
Qualification is based on several factors, including:
- VA eligibility and Certificate of Eligibility (COE)
- Credit history and score
- Income and employment

A VA funding fee may apply unless the borrower qualifies for an exemption.
