What is an FHA loan?

An FHA loan is a government-backed home loan insured by the Federal Housing Administration. The government backing reduces the risk for lenders should the borrower default on the loan, which allows lenders to offer looser eligibility requirements.

FHA loans are available for a 3.5% down payment and allow for a lower minimum credit score than conventional loans. This makes FHA loans a good option for borrowers who don’t have great credit or very much in savings.

Have you felt you’ve been priced out of the market, and your rent just keeps going up? Maybe it’s time to reconsider home ownership!

A Real-Life Story of a First Time Homebuyer in Bradenton, Florida:

A listing of mine was recently sold to a first-time buyer. (A first-time homebuyer is someone who has not owned a primary residence in the past three years.)

The property was a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom condo in a non-age restricted community. Purchase price was $97,500. The buyer put down a $1,000 earnest money deposit. The down payment for the mortgage was $5,175 and closing costs were about $6,500 but with the help of Florida down payment assistance, the buyer had to bring less than $250 to closing.

Bottom line, the buyer bought this condo with only $1,218 out of pocket, you couldn’t get into a rental for anywhere near that amount! But wait, it gets even better. The monthly payment is less than $850, which includes property taxes and insurance! An amount unheard of in today's rental market!

The owner will also pay a monthly condo fee of about $500 per month. This fee covers insurance on the building as well as flood insurance, landscaping, community pool, exterior repairs and maintenance such as painting, paving and roof replacement. It also covers water, sewer and trash!
