How do you know if an FHA loan is right for you?
The Federal Housing Administration 
(FHA) offers a number of programs that promote home ownership. Because it requires a relatively small down payment, an FHA loan might be the perfect way for you to purchase your first home. An FHA loan may not put you in a billionaire’s palace, but you will have the option to purchase a beautiful starter home that suits your lifestyle.
FHA home loans are insured against home owner default by the FHA. This protects the lender from financial loss and increases your chances of being accepted. You are charged a modest upfront mortgage insurance premium which is included in your monthly payment.
Qualifying for an FHA Loan

One of the greatest advantages of FHA loans is the ability to purchase with a down payment as low as 3.5 percent.
