An FHA refinance mortgage or FHA loan allows for the refinance or purchase of a home with a low down payment. These loans are great for the first-time homebuyer.

Purchasing a home is one of life's major landmarks and for some, it is even a dream come true. Securing an FHA loan is the most important piece of the homebuying puzzle. If you follow some simple steps, you can make sure that the process runs smoothly.

Homeowners enjoy the benefits of investing in their property year after year. For some, there comes a time when that investment can come in handy. An FHA refinance loan can prove to be an effective way to put that equity to work.

FHA loan limits were established to define how much you can borrow for a HUD-backed mortgage. Each state has different limits, so be sure to look up your state to understand what is available for your FHA home loan.

Frequently Asked Questions: The 2009 First-Time Homebuyer's Tax Credit

The 2009 First Time Homebuyer's Tax Credit is quite different from the one offered in 2008. One of the most important differences is that the 2009 tax credit does not have to be repaid.

What is an FHA Reverse Mortgage?

FHA HECM loans are like other home equity loans--they let you cash in on part of the value a home has built up over the years. But the FHA reverse mortgage is unique because FHA borrowers don't make any payments.

Tax Break Money and FHA Loan Downpayments

Previous tax credits for first time home buyers had different terms than the 2009 First Time Home Buyer's Tax Credit. You do not have to repay the 2009 credit.
