Why Choose an FHA Loan?
Many North Carolina homebuyers face the same roadblocks: saving for a large down payment, dealing with credit history, or qualifying for conventional financing. FHA loans help remove those barriers by offering:
- Low down payment – as little as 3.5% down.
- Flexible credit guidelines – more forgiving than conventional loans.
- Competitive rates – even if your credit isn’t perfect.
- Gift funds allowed – family or friends can help with your down payment or closing costs.
- Assumable mortgages – your FHA loan may be transferred to a future buyer, which can help when selling.
Whether you’re buying your first home in Raleigh or refinancing anywhere in North Carolina, FHA loans are built to open doors.
