Protected by the Federal Housing Administration, these loans may be attractive to first-time homebuyers for these benefits:
• Down payments for an FHA loan may be as low as 3.5% of the purchase price, not 20% or more.
• You can use a monetary gift for your down payment and closing costs.
• You can get either fixed or adjustable interest rates with a FHA loan.
• FHA loans may be streamlined, so you need less paperwork, simplifying the process.
• Grants and down payment assistance programs help you cover closing costs.
