Looking for a mortgage with a low-down payment option?

An FHA loan may be right for you!








What is an FHA Loan?

FHA mortgages are partially guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), which makes it less risky for banks to offer more flexible credit requirements and lower down payments to homebuyers. FHA loans are available to first-time and repeat homebuyers as long as the property will be used as your primary residence.
 

How Does an FHA Loan Work?


This is how you can get an FHA loan:
  • You can apply for an FHA loan through an approved partner lender like West Shore Bank.
  • The home must be appraised by an FHA-approved appraiser and mortgage insurance is required for the life of the loan. 
  • FHA loan down payments can be as low as 3.5%.
