FHA Loans: Affordable Homeownership
Are you wondering if an FHA loan is right for you? At Barry Lends, we specialize in helping individuals and families navigate affordable pathways to homeownership—especially first-time buyers or those with less-than-perfect credit.
What Is an FHA Loan?
An FHA loan is a mortgage insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). These loans are designed to make homeownership more accessible by offering:
-
Low down payments (as little as 3.5%)
-
Flexible credit requirements
-
Competitive interest rates
-
Allowance for gifted funds for down payments
These features make FHA loans ideal for first-time buyers, renters ready to own, or buyers working on rebuilding their credit.
Do You Qualify?
You might qualify for an FHA loan if:
-
You have a credit score of 580 or higher (or as low as 500 with a higher down payment)
-
Your debt-to-income ratio is within acceptable FHA guidelines
-
The home will be your primary residence
-
You have stable employment and income
