30 Year FHA MortgageA 30 year FHA mortgage is much like any other fixed rate mortgage, except that it is insured by the FHA. The interest rate does not adjust up or down at any point during the loan term. FHA mortgages are beneficial for first time home buyers or borrowers with low cash reserves who can’t afford a large down payment. A large down payment isn’t needed to solidify the loan. Rather, the backing of the FHA allows the deal to go through. Unfortunately, borrowers with FHA mortgages are currently required to take out private mortgage insurance. This can add to the cost of monthly payments. Once this has been paid off, however, you’ll have a low cost mortgage at an excellent rate that you qualified for without having to settle for unfavorable terms. The FHA limits how much money you can borrow, however. These loan limits vary by area. Check with a local lender to determine how much money you can borrow with a 30 year FHA mortgage. |
