How FHA Loans Work

The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loan program is one of the most popular options for first-time homebuyers. Because the government insures these loans, lenders can offer them with more flexible requirements, such as lower credit scores and smaller down payments.

Key Benefits of FHA Loans

  • Low Down Payment: As low as 3.5% of the purchase price.
  • Flexible Credit: Qualify with a credit score as low as 580 (or 500 with 10% down).
  • Assumable: Future buyers can take over your FHA loan rate.

Understanding FHA Mortgage Insurance (MIP)

Unlike conventional loans where PMI can be removed, FHA loans have specific rules for Mortgage Insurance Premiums (MIP). There are two parts:

  1. Upfront MIP: A one-time fee of 1.75% of your loan amount. This is usually added to your loan balance.
  2. Annual MIP: An annual premium (typically 0.55%) divided by 12 and added to your monthly payment.
