Overview

FHA loans are insured by the Federal Housing Administration, which lets lenders offer more flexible terms. You get a lower barrier to entry without giving up fixed rates or a standard 30-year term — and you do not have to be a first-time buyer.

Eligibility

Requirements are more flexible than conventional loans, but you still need stable income, acceptable credit, and a property that meets FHA standards.
