You should consider an FHA loan if...

You are seeking the lowest down payment to purchase your first home
You have some past bumps in your credit history

An FHA loan may be just what you need to remove these hurdles. FHA loans are designed with the first-time home buyer in mind. Minimum down payment of only 3.5% required, which can be gifted from a family member, and a minimum credit score of only 580.

This coupled with more lenient income and credit requirements will have you on your way to home ownership now. No need to wait for everything to be just perfect.

FAQ: Will mortgage shopping hurt my credit score?

No. If you're wondering this, don't feel bad. We actually get this question more than any other. In order to lock in a rate, a credit profile must be run. However, so long as you are shopping within a 30-day period, credit bureaus recognize your need to shop and therefore count all mortgage inquiries as a single inquiry within that 30-day period.

Here are the basic requirements to qualify for FHA loans:

Minimum 580 credit score
3.5% down payment – which can also be gifted to you by family members
More lenient income and credit requirements
