I was introduced to FHA financing as "this loan program makes no sense when compared to conventional loans" but in fact it is the exact opposite, FHA financing is more flexible, and makes much more sense to today's home buyer. Here are some of the guidelines and highlights of FHA financing. Please comment and tell me what your take is on the program.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Only a 3.5% down payment&lt;br /&gt;100% gift allowed for the down payment&lt;br /&gt;Can have as low as a 640 credit score to qualify&lt;br /&gt;You can have some dings on the credit as long as there is a good explanation&lt;br /&gt;Seller credit for closing cost up to 6%&lt;br /&gt;Debt ratio in the mid to high 50 percentile.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more information or if your interested to see if you can qualify for FHA financing please got to &lt;a href="http://www.yourmortgageresearch.com/forms/purchaseAssistant.html"&gt;http://www.yourmortgageresearch.com/forms/purchaseAssistant.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mike Silva&lt;br /&gt;Landmark Mortgage Group&lt;br /&gt;925-583-2507&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6558906735008190112-2019710653834662705?l=yourmortgageresearch.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yourmortgageresearch.blogspot.com/feeds/2019710653834662705/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://yourmortgageresearch.blogspot.com/2009/07/fha-financing-for-first-time-home.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6558906735008190112/posts/default/2019710653834662705'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6558906735008190112/posts/default/2019710653834662705'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yourmortgageresearch.blogspot.com/2009/07/fha-financing-for-first-time-home.html' title='FHA Financing For First Time Home Buyers'/><author><name>Mike Silva</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13864967392203953492</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3C1z80smtiQ/SmqUvWd3Y8I/AAAAAAAAAAM/lW_6-N7pJFk/S220/mike+pic-resized+2.bmp'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
