If you’d love to buy a home but lack credit, a down payment, or are unable to cover closing costs, an FHA loan may be the solution.

The FHA Mortgages is a loan covered by the US Federal Housing Administration. People who borrow with FHA mortgages pay upfront and annual mortgage insurance in exchange for low down payments, more lenient credit requirements and the maximum buying power. The mortgage insurance rates are set by HUD and premiums can be reduced only with larger down payments or reduced loan terms.
Here are some reasons to consider FHA mortgages.
FHA financing was developed to provide homebuyers with an alternative to conventional financing and include attractive and flexible guidelines.
Low down payment
With FHA mortgages, you will have the chance to purchase a house without a huge down payment. Standard FHA mortgages allow as little as 3.5% down. In addition, gifts are often allowed from approved sources. AMAC – American Mortgage Alliance Company has a special grant program that can allow qualified borrowers to buy homes with no money down with an FHA mortgage.
Credit Requirements are Minimal
FHA Mortgages don’t require much credit, which means that even if you have minimal credit or challenges with credit history, you may still qualify for an FHA mortgage. At AMAC – American Mortgage Alliance Company, people who have credit scores of 560 or more can purchase homes through FHA mortgages. FHA refinances borrowers can have scores as low as 500. FHA mortgages have, what many consider to be, the most flexible credit guidelines.
Loans after Divorce, Bankruptcy, Foreclosures and Short Sales
A common misconception is that major credit events, like bankruptcies and foreclosures will make you ineligible for a mortgage. This is far from the truth. FHA allows borrowers to qualify for a mortgage 2 years after a bankruptcy and 3 years after a foreclosure or short sale. And under special circumstances, borrowers may be eligible one year after these events. AMAC – American Mortgage Alliance Company specializes in helping borrowers qualify for FHA mortgages after major credit events.

Most conforming mortgages restrict borrowers to 43-50% of their taxable incomes. AMAC – American Mortgage Alliance Company allows qualified borrowers to go up to 57% DTI on FHA mortgages. This equates to more borrowing capacity and often an approval, when other lenders would deny the file.
