FHA Loans

FHA Loans in Texas

Government-insured mortgages with low down payment options and more flexible credit requirements than conventional loans.

About this program

FHA loans are mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration. The government backing lets lenders offer more flexible underwriting than conventional loans, with lower down payments, lower credit thresholds, and more forgiving debt-to-income ratios.

FHA loans are most popular with first-time homebuyers, but anyone who meets the program guidelines can use them. They finance primary residences across single-family homes, FHA-approved condos, and certain multi-unit properties up to four units when one unit is owner-occupied.

There are trade-offs: FHA requires mortgage insurance for the life of most loans, and the property has to meet FHA appraisal standards. We can help you weigh whether FHA or conventional is the better fit for your situation.
