FHA home loans are insured by the Federal Housing Administration. Although FHA
mortgage rates may typically be higher than conventional loans, FHA mortgages offer many
advantages.
The Federal Housing Administration
(FHA) has been helping borrowers realize the American dream of affordable homeownership
since 1934. FHA financing advantages include:
Low Down Payment: as little as 3.5%
Flexible Credit Guidelines: generally easier to qualify than
with conventional home financing
Competitive Mortgage Rates
Down Payment Assistance: the down payment for your FHA loan can
come from a gift, and reserves are not an automatic requirement.
FHA is one of the few remaining programs that will allow up to 95% cash out on a
refinance and will lend in declining markets without an automatic reduction in loan-to-
value*.
FHA insures single & multi family (up to 4 unit) homes, condominiums and manufactured
housing**. Financing options include traditional fixed rate products, adjustable rate
mortgages and temporary interest rate buy-downs.
Best of all, your loan is insured by FHA which gives lenders greater flexibility with
our lending guidelines.
*Appraisal must support mortgage loan-to-value.
**Must be on permanent foundation.

Prompt, courteous, service. I have been very satisfied with the outstanding service provided by Amerisave. We are in the final stages of the process, just waiting for the closing date. Every step of the way has been guided by Matt and Kristen who are knowledgeable, always respond promptly, and are personable (not robots). Even if we are not approved I would definitely recommend Amerisave to anyone that is looking to finance (or refinance) their home.
