FHA home loans have a wide variety of options including alternative source of funds, seller contributions, renovation financing and options for borrowers with past credit events.

Options. Options. Options.
FHA home loans have many options for borrowers to consider including fixed or adjustable rates and a variety of loan terms for both home purchases and refinances. I’m here to help you understand all your options and make the best decision for your specific situation.
Flexible Qualifying Guidelines
Borrowers with less than perfect credit or non-traditional credit histories can still qualify for financing with FHA. Friends or family members can also help you qualify with gift funds for the down payment or non-occupying co-borrowers.
