FHA has been helping people become homeowners since 1934. The Federal Housing Administration (FHA), which is part of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), insures your loan so your lender can offer more flexible loan terms. FHA loans only require a 3.5% down payment, and offer more flexible underwriting guideline. They allow the seller to contribute all or part of the closing costs. For these reasons, FHA loans are usually the best option for first time homebuyers. Additionally, all or part of the down payment can be gifted from a relative.
