What is an FHA Loan?

An FHA (Federal Housing Administration) Loan is a government-backed mortgage designed to help individuals with lower credit scores and limited savings become homeowners. These loans are insured by the FHA, reducing the risk for lenders and making it easier for borrowers to qualify. 

FHA Loans are particularly popular among first-time homebuyers due to their lower down payment requirements and more lenient credit criteria. They can be used to purchase a new home, refinance an existing mortgage, or even renovate a property. 
With an FHA Loan, you can enjoy competitive interest rates and the ability to finance closing costs, reducing the upfront expenses associated with buying a home.

I did a bank statement income loan and it chose to not include some deposits. This is just a heads up, not a complaint. Truss is definitely a good company, and I would ABSOLUTELY work with them again. Marcus was honest and helpful throughout the process.
