FHA Mortgage: 3 Things You Need To Know
* FHA IS FOR OWNER OCCUPIED LOANS ONLY. NOT RENTAL PROPERTIES AND 2nd HOMES

#1 FHA has mortgage insurance no matter how much you put down. A lot of people assume that, since with a conventional loan if you put down twenty percent you don’t have mortgage insurance, so with FHA it must be the same. Wrong! FHA requires monthly mortgage insurance regardless of how much you put down.

#2 People assume that all lenders charge the same for FHA mortgages, since FHA is a federally insured loan. They assume the government is setting the rates and then lenders just do the loans. No! There are huge price differences with FHA mortgages, depending on what lender you talk to. Please call me, it is one of my favorite loans and I know how competitive we are. Let me show you a second option for a rate.

#3 you need to know about FHA is that FHA is a great door opener. I like to use FHA as an example in areas that are high cost. A high cost area would be like San Francisco, Alameda, Contra Costa, and you can’t do 3% up to the conforming high balance limit. You can only go up to the current conforming limit, which is $548,250, with 3% down. But the FHA limit’s can be much higher. That’s a great option, you know, it can be super hard to save money especially since rents are increasing faster than housing prices. FHA can be a really good option there. Another good option is if your credit is less than perfect. With FHA you’re going to have much better monthly payment than a conventional mortgage if you have a low credit score.

FHA can be a great mortgage you just want to make sure that you understand that it has mortgage insurance, you shop your rate, and then you know some of the benefits. If you have questions or comments or I can help you out with an FHA mortgage, please feel free to reach out. 707-478-0637
