FHA Loan - Typically the best loan in todays financial climate! This popular government-backed program was originally designed to help first time home buyers and people with moderate incomes purchase a home. This program is now typically the best loan program offered in todays financial market place. The program contains a number of options such as very low down payment plans and more flexible credit score requirements that enable more people to qualify as compared to conventional loan programs. This program is also the only loan program that offers you an assumable loan. That is a huge advantage if you plan to sell your home in the future. If you have a loan today that is at a 5.5% rate.
