Carson Home Mortgage

The FHA was created by the Federal Government to provide affordable housing mortgage financing for qualified borrowers. The FHA insures 100% of the loan, eliminating the lender's risk. The borrower pays an upfront insurance premium which is approximately 1.5% of the loan amount. This money can be financed directly in the loan amount. The borrower also pays a monthly premium of .5% of the loan amount divided by 12 months. FHA requires down payment of 3%. This money can be a gift. No reserves are required. Closing costs can be financed in the loan amount.
