An FHA mortgage is a government-backed home loan with more flexible lending requirements than those for conforming loans. Because of this, interest rates for FHA mortgages may be somewhat higher, and the buyer may need to pay monthly mortgage insurance premiums along with their monthly loan payments.

FHA loans are insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and may have an easier qualification process due to less stringent down-payment and credit requirements than conventional mortgages. Note: If you’re a current military member or veteran, you may be eligible for a VA home loan with little or no downpayment.

Lower down payments
An FHA mortgage may require a down payment as low as 3.5 percent, although the interest rate may be somewhat higher than with a conventional mortgage.

Lower credit thresholds
One of the benefits of the FHA loan program is that home buyers may qualify even without a long credit history or outstanding credit.

Popular for refinancing
Many borrowers with newly adjusting ARMs look to refinance into fixed-rate FHA loans.
