    What Are FHA Loans?

    FHA loans are government-backed mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration — created to help more people become homeowners, especially first-time buyers and those with less-than-perfect credit.

    These loans offer flexible credit guidelines, low down payment options (as little as 3.5%), and competitive rates, making them a popular choice for buyers across Austin, Cedar Park, Round Rock, Leander, Pflugerville, Kyle and beyond.

    Why a FHA Loan Might Be Right for You

    • You want competitive interest rates and flexible approval standards
    • You’re buying a primary residence only (FHA loans can’t be used for second homes or investment properties)
