Choose an FHA Loan and Save Money
Choosing FHA financing for your home loan is a wise decision. The costs associated with the loan program differ from other type of financing including smaller down payment, attractive interest rates, allowance of gift funds, 6% seller contributions and usually require less closing costs. The benefit to you, as the borrower, means less money at closing. FHA Mortgage Center is a premier lender specializing in FHA Loans, and we can make the process easy thanks to our expertise.
In definition, FHA (Federal Housing Authority) financing is a government insured loan program that delegates loan approval to those lenders approved by them.
Concerning costs associated with an FHA loan, you will currently need to consider the down payment requirement. While FHA requires 3% of the sales price be contributed to the loan transaction, this amount can be a combination of down payment and approved closing costs. The options available for the down payment can also come in the form of a gift provided the donor is a relative, significant other, employer or grant. The 3% contribution cannot be paid by the seller or lender.
Homeownership Act Promises to invigorate FHA
After the fallout of the subprime and Alt-A loan market in 2007, FHA loans have received a new shot of energy throughout the housing market. Lenders, realtors, politicians, and investors have all issued statements championing the return of the FHA Home Loan Program to its rightful place in helping Americans purchase their homes. FHA modernization is currently under way and the Expanding American Homeownership Act of 2007 promises to re-ignite the industry.
