Buying a Home on a Budget: Your Loan Options in 2023

2.FHA Loans

Both experienced homeowners and those buying for the first time can benefit from the FHA’s lenient loan approval standards. The Federal Housing Administration supports this initiative because it lowers the bar for potential mortgagees to meet. More tenants may be able to enter the housing market this way.

FHA loans allow for 3.5% down payments and debt-to-income ratios of up to 45%, while also requiring only a 580-credit score.

FHA loans are among the most sought-after low-down-payment mortgages because of these and other benefits.
