What is an FHA Loan

A government-backed loan
built for first-time buyers.

Buying your first home is a significant step, and at NewFed Mortgage we understand that affordability matters most. An FHA loan is insured by the Federal Housing Administration, which lets us offer more flexible credit and down payment requirements than a conventional loan — giving you the financial flexibility to reach your homeownership goals, even with limited savings or credit history.

01

Low down payment options

As little as 3.5% down, making FHA one of the most attractive paths to homeownership.

02

Flexible credit requirements

More lenient guidelines than conventional loans, even if your credit history isn’t perfect.

03

Competitive interest rates

Secure a lower rate and keep your monthly payment easier to manage over time.

04

Local & state assistance eligible

Many FHA loans qualify for down payment assistance programs offering additional savings.
