FHA Loans (Federal Housing Administration Loans)

FHA loans are mortgages issued by federally qualified lenders and insured by the U.S. Federal Housing Authority, a division of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

FHA loans are an attractive, maximum financing option, especially for first-time homeowners.

Age In Place Mortgage Company works with a number of FHA lenders. Some of the advantages of an FHA loan are:

  • Generally easier to qualify for than Conventional loans
  • Only 3.5% down payment (The 3.5% can be gifted from a family member)
  • Allows for higher debt ratios in most cases

  • Maximum loan size varies by county (call for details)
  • No income limits
  • Co-Signers are acceptable to help with credit, debt ratio and down payment
  • Co-signers do not have to occupy the property

  • Can be used to purchase duplex, triplex and quad properties where you can rent the other units (only 3.5% down)
