Benefits of a FHA loan
- FICO Flexibility: The FHA home loan has less strict FICO score requirements, allowing more people to qualify for a home loan.
- Gift Funds Allowed: Gift funds are allowed for the down payment, which means your family can help.
- Flexible Qualification: Requirements for an FHA loan are generally more relaxed compared to other loans.
FHA loan eligibility requirements
- Credit score higher than 500 with 10% down
- Credit score higher than 580 with 3.5% down

- Reasonable debt-to-income ratio

Estimated Taxes & Insurance
Property taxes are generally estimated to be 1.2% of the home's value, but may vary based on your location. Annual homeowners insurance is roughly 0.35% of the home's value but can change based on insurer. Your loan specialist can help you determine property tax and insurance rates in your area.
Annual MIP
The Annual MIP ranges from 0.15% to 0.75% depending on loan term, loan amount and down payment. However, for most FHA borrowers, the Annual MIP is 0.75% of the loan amount. The Annual MIP can last for the life of the loan, or be removed after 11 years if the original down payment is 10% or more.
Upfront MIP
The Upfront MIP, sometimes referred to as the FHA funding fee, is 1.75% of the loan amount. This fee is due at closing and is typically financed into the entire loan amount to reduce out of pocket costs.
