1. FHA loans are not only for first time homebuyers.
Many people believe FHA loans are available only to first-time home buyers, but this is not true. While it’s true many home buyers are buying their first home using an FHA loan, but a large number of move up/repeat home buyers are also utilizing the opportunity of the FHA loans as a home financing option.
2. FHA loans are not only for lower-income homebuyers.
FHA loans are available to everyone. There are many homebuyers in West Chester and Liberty Township Ohio using FHA financing. There are no income restrictions tied to FHA loans. Just as with conventional mortgage financing, home buyers do need to qualify for a mortgage based on their income, monthly debt obligations and credit scores.
3. FHA loans are not just for small mortgages.
Currently in Butler County, Warren County and Hamilton County, Ohio the FHA loan limits are $337,500. Keep in mind that this is the loan limit. So, as an example, someone buying a home with a 3.5% down payment could buy a home for as much as a $350,000 purchase price. Which leads to my last point on FHA mortgage lending.
4. FHA loans are often more affordable than conventional financing. FHA loans offer very competitive interest rates when compared to other loans. Home buyers also benefit from a much lower down payment, as I mentioned above. The down payment required to buy a home can be as low as 3.50%. And also the mortgage insurance premium may be lower on the FHA financing when compared to the conventional mortgage insurance for loans with less that 20% down.
