Why an FHA loan?

September 2, 2008

Just as rising home prices generate homeowner equity, falling prices destroy it.  Today there are currently no zero-down loans anymore except for VA loans for Veterans and the USDA rural area loans.  FHA loans remain available at 3 percent down for lower loan amounts and conventional loans now generally require 10 % down. Any loan today that is not touched by one of the Federal Agencies will have a required down payment larger than 10 %.  So, Why an FHA loan?
