FHA Loan vs. Conventional Loan
Many
people believe that because they may have little or no credit, some
credit problems, or because they have limited resources for a down
payment that they are restricted to FHA financing. That is not true!
Until a borrower begins the pre-approval process he/she may not know
the programs for which they may qualify. Additionally, while in
some cases an FHA loan may have advantages, in other instances-
particularly when it comes to loan amounts, FHA financing may prove to
be too restrictive. If a borrower is self employed or in another
type of situation where proving income may be difficult, FHA is likely
to reject the loan application, while it may still be possible to
obtain conventional financing- even if the credit is not
perfect! To learn about the available options, please click the
