FHA Advantages – Down PaymentAnother common obstacle in the home buying process is saving enough cash for the down payment. Conventional loans usually require a down payment of 10-20% of the total home purchase price. For a $200,000 home, for example, buyers would need $20,000-$40,000 in cash to make the purchase. FHA loans make saving for thedown payment much less daunting. FHA loans generally require just 3.5%down payment. In the case of$200,000 home, that translatesto just $7000. And the moneymay give to you by a familymember, employer or charitableorganization as a gift.

FHA Advantages – Mortgage InsuranceMortgage insurance is a requirement for all borrowers until they have a certain level of equity in their home. It helps protect lenders when home buyers fail to repay their loans. Mortgage insurance fees are paid in addition to the principleand interest on the loan amount. Mortgage insurance costs forFHA loans are generally less thanthose for conventional loans,which could mean a lower overall monthly mortgage payment.

FHA Advantages - AssumabilityWhile you’re certainly excited to purchase your new home – and to enjoy all the benefits that come with it – it’s always wise to look ahead to the future. Odds are you won’t live in your home all the way through the 15- or 30-year length of most mortgage loans. When you sell your home, FHA loans provide a unique advantage called “assumability.” Homes previously purchased withFHA loans are especially attractiveto some buyers because the loanis assumable. That means the newbuyer may be allowed to take over(or “assume”) the conditions of theFHA loan, reducing closing costsand potentially providing a lower interest rate.

FHA Requirements – The Property Just like the homebuyer, the property to be purchased has to meet certain criteria to qualify for an FHA loan. An FHA-qualified appraiser will review the home to make sure it meets quality standards. There are also limits on the home value depending on where you live. Still, in some areas, this could be $700,000 or more. Another important point to keepin mind is that the property mustbe your primary residence to be eligible for an FHA loan. FHA loans cannot be used to purchase vacation homes or investment property.
