The FHA identifies the following benefits: Low cost -- FHA-insured loans have competitive interest rates because the federal government insures the loans for lenders.Smaller down payment -- FHA-insured loans have a low 3.5% down payment and the money can come from a family member, employer or charitable organization as a gift.Easier qualification -- Because FHA insures your mortgage, lenders may be more willing to give you loan terms that make it easier for you to qualify.Less than perfect credit -- You don't have to have perfect credit to get an FHA-insured mortgage.
