Discover the Easiest Way to Buy Your First Home with Legal Support from EV Häs

Opening the Door to Homeownership — Even with Less-than-Perfect Credit

If you're dreaming of homeownership but feel limited by past credit issues or a small savings account, there's a solution built just for you. An FHA loan is a government-backed mortgage program that makes buying your first home more accessible — and EV Häs is here to help you close with confidence.

What Is an FHA Loan?

An FHA loan is a mortgage insured by the Federal Housing Administration, part of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). It’s designed to help buyers with moderate income or lower credit scores qualify for financing — even if they’ve been denied by conventional lenders.

Compared to conventional mortgages, FHA loans offer several key advantages:

  • Flexible Credit Requirements: Qualify with a credit score as low as 580 — or even 500 with a higher down payment.
  • Low Down Payment: Buy your home with as little as 3.5% down, perfect for buyers with limited savings.
  • Higher Debt-to-Income (DTI) Allowance: FHA loans allow a more forgiving DTI ratio, making approval easier even with existing debts.
  • Fixed Interest Rates for Stability: Enjoy predictable monthly payments with fixed-rate mortgage options — no surprises.
  • Leniency for Past Credit Issues: Previous bankruptcies or foreclosures don’t automatically disqualify you after recovery.
  • Ideal for First-Time Buyers:

    Often combined with down payment assistance programs, making homeownership more accessible.
