What can I say? Peter is kind, professional and proficient. We closed my FHA loan in 30 days. I was always kept in the loop and there were no surprises during the whole process.
Peter and his team are outstanding. I will definitely recommend! Thank you Peter, Prany and all involved with the processing of my loan.

Home buyers who are looking for an affordable alternative to conventional mortgage financing may discover FHA loans to be the best option for their needs and budget. With a small down payment requirement, reasonable rates, and lenient credit requirements, FHA loans are a popular choice among first-time home buyers, buyers with less-than-perfect credit histories, and repeat buyers on a budget.
FHA loans may not be the best choice for everyone, but we believe our FHA home loan could be well-suited to a variety of borrowers. Contact us today to see if an FHA first-time home buyer loan might be the right fit for your next home purchase. We also offer FHA streamline and FHA cash-out refinancing to qualifying individuals.
Why Consider an FHA Loan?
An FHA home loan is a government-backed loan best suited for low to middle-income people who will not qualify for a conventional loan. FHA mortgage loans require lower minimum credit scores and down payments than conventional loans, making them especially popular with first-time homebuyers. The FHA requires a minimum credit score of at least 580 but also states that a lower credit score does not automatically disqualify you either. While FHA loans are significantly easier to qualify for compared to conventional mortgages, there are still certain conditions and requirements that you must meet. These conditions help ensure that borrowers can pay back the loan amount and include debt-to-income standards, down payment requirements and credit score stipulations.
Mortgage Insurance lowers the risk to the lender on loans offered to borrowers. It is mandatory on all FHA loans and helps borrowers qualify for a loan that they might not otherwise be able to get.
Typically, borrowers making a down payment of less than 20 percent of the purchase price will need mortgage insurance. FHA mortgage insurance includes both an upfront cost, paid as part of your closing costs when your home purchase is finalized and a monthly cost, included in your monthly payment.
Calculate your yearly tax savings.
FHA loans are conforming loans, this means they meet the underwriting guidelines set forth by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. They are low risk and are awarded to the most creditworthy of borrowers. They require a low down payment, comprehensive reporting, and mortgage insurance.
The FHA loan is a path to homeownership for people who the banks would probably otherwise reject. They may have little cash for a down payment or a less-than-stellar credit rating making it hard for them to qualify with the government guarantee that the bank will get its money back.
