FHA loans are insured by the Federal Housing Administration, which lets lenders offer easier qualifying terms. They are one of the most common paths into a first home.

What to know

  • Mortgage insurance: FHA loans include an upfront premium and a monthly premium. On most loans with less than 10% down, the monthly premium lasts for the life of the loan unless you refinance.
  • Loan limits: FHA sets maximum loan amounts by county, and they update every year.
  • Property standards: the home must meet FHA appraisal requirements.
