The FHA, or the Federal Housing Administration, was established by the government to improve housing conditions for Americans.

An FHA mortgage can be an attractive option to many first-time home buyers, as down-payment requirements for a FHA mortgage can be less restrictive as well as other qualifying aspects.-  As little as 3.5% down (up to 96.5%)

 

–  Down payment can be 100% gift from a relative
–  Less credit restrictions
–  Lower private mortgage insurance (PMI) premiums
–  No cash reserves required.
