FHA
loans are mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration. The insurance part protects the lenders which allow them to extend loan offers low-interest rates with eased requirements and a low downpayment (typically starting at 3.5%). The FHA was introduced in 1934 and plays a critical role in helping to finance for the first time homebuyers, minority buyers, and/or buyers that have a poor credit history. Additionally, FHA loans can cater to people with moderate incomes or people who cannot afford a 20% down payment. WHAT ARE THE STATISTICS ABOUT FHA LOANS? In 2012, almost half of first-time home buyers got financed through FHA loans and first-time buyers made up about three-quarters of FHA home purchasers that year.
