What is an FHA loan?
An FHA Loan is backed by the Federal Housing Administration and typically used to help less established borrowers purchase a home. The FHA insures the loan, but an FHA approved lender is the one who issues the loan. They typically require two types of insurance to secure the loan.
Is this loan right for me?
FHA Loans are common for first time homebuyers and borrowers who have a difficult time finding a conventional loan from private lenders. They accommodate borrowers with lower credit scores who plan on offering smaller down payment percentages.

I refinanced my house recently and now having worked with both Mark H and Sue from LIT Financial I would absolutely recommend them. They both were very easy to work with, explained anything I asked and didn’t make me feel like I was getting worked over somehow like I have had with ALOT of other companies. It was just a nice experience, and I’ll absolutely be using them again if/when the time comes. Thanks again to those two. Read more →
