Low down payment options and flexible credit requirements make FHA loans ideal for first-time homebuyers.

FHA loans are government-backed mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration. They're designed to make homeownership more accessible, especially for first-time buyers who may not have large down payments or perfect credit scores.

• Flexible credit requirements - Credit scores as low as 580 can qualify

• Lower interest rates - Competitive rates that can save you money over the life of the loan

• Gift funds allowed - Down payment can come from family members or employers
