Program Overview
Colorado FHA Home Loans
An FHA loan, insured by the Federal Housing Administration, is a cornerstone of accessible homeownership in America. It’s designed to help low-to-moderate-income borrowers who might not qualify for a conventional loan. With more lenient credit score and down payment requirements, FHA loans open the door for many first-time homebuyers and families to purchase a home. We are experienced in navigating FHA guidelines to help ensure a smooth and successful closing.
Key Benefits
- » Low 3.5% down payment requirement makes homeownership more attainable.
- » Flexible credit score guidelines are more forgiving than conventional loans.
- » Down payment funds can come from gifts from family members.
- » Sellers are permitted to contribute up to 6% of the purchase price toward closing costs.
- » FHA loans are assumable, which can be an attractive feature for future buyers if rates rise.
Who is this for?
This loan may be a great fit if you meet the following general criteria:
- » Borrowers with a credit score of 580 or higher (though some lenders go lower).
- » Individuals who can make a down payment of at least 3.5%.
- » Buyers purchasing a primary residence that meets FHA property standards.
- » Borrowers with a steady employment history and verifiable income.
These are general guidelines. Contact us for a personalized assessment. Not a commitment to lend.
