Loan Programs

FHA Loans

Government-insured loans with flexible credit guidelines and small down payment options.

FHA loans are insured by the Federal Housing Administration. That insurance lets lenders approve borrowers who might not fit conventional guidelines, especially on credit history.

FHA loans carry a mortgage insurance premium, paid partly at closing and partly in the monthly payment. Kam can show you when it makes sense to start with FHA and refinance into a conventional loan later.
