Many people in the United States dream of owning their own homes, but few are able to pay cash for them. Many individuals and families who could not otherwise afford to own a home become homeowners with the help of the Federal Housing Administration mortgage insurance programs. This could be your key to home ownership. The FHA program offers many benefits not found in conventional programs.

You may qualify If you are:

buying a home
refinancing a mortgage for a home you already own
making home improvements

In fact, almost anyone who has a satisfactory credit record, enough cash to close the loan, and sufficient steady income to make monthly mortgage payments can be approved for this mortgage. There is no upper age limit and no certain income level required, although individual mortgage amounts are limited by law. Generally, homebuyers must live in the home in order to get this loan. The program is not open to investors.

The Federal Housing Administration was established to encourage home ownership throughout the country with the belief that home ownership increases the stability of a community. Prior to the creation of the FHA, large down payments were required to secure a home mortgage loan. At present, a minimum of 3% investment is required by the borrower for the purchase of a home. As an incentive to investors who purchase mortgage loans, FHA insures the loan against default, should the borrower fail to repay. FHA guidelines also allow for greater flexibility with regards to credit history and qualifying ratios.
