Frequently asked questions

Common Questions About FHA Loans in Kissimmee

Q/01What credit score do I need for an FHA loan?+

FHA loans are designed for buyers with lower credit scores. Many lenders accept scores as low as 580 with 3.5% down. Some accept 500 with 10% down. Each lender sets its own guidelines. We will review your credit during a free planning session and tell you where you stand.

Q/02Is an FHA loan only for first-time buyers?+

No. FHA is popular with first-time buyers, but you do not have to be one to qualify. As long as the home will be your primary residence, you can use FHA even if you have owned a home before.

Q/03What about mortgage insurance on FHA loans?+

FHA loans require both an upfront mortgage insurance premium (which can be rolled into the loan) and a monthly premium. This is what allows lenders to offer lower down payments and flexible credit. We will break down the exact costs during your planning session so there are no surprises.
