FHA and VA Home Loans

FHA loans may make it easier to buy or refinance

The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) offers loans with low down payments for buyers, and a streamlined process when you’re ready to refinance.


Streamlined refinance for existing FHA loans

If your current mortgage is an FHA loan, the streamlined refinance process may help.

  • No appraisal required
  • No credit check
  • No income verification


Down payments as low as 3.5%

If you’re a first-time homebuyer or have limited funds, FHA financing can be a great way to expand your homeownership opportunities. 

  • Buy a home with as little as 3.5% down
  • May allow you to use a gift or grant for all or a portion of down payment and closing costs
  • Requires less cash upfront, but you typically have to pay FHA mortgage insurance premiums
  • Lets you qualify with a co-applicant, even if the person doesn’t live in the home

  Tip  

FHA loans have the benefit of a low down payment, but consider all costs involved, including up-front and long-term mortgage insurance and all fees. Ask your home mortgage consultant to help you compare the overall costs of all your home financing options.
