FHA home loans in California

Explore an established mortgage option for eligible homebuyers, with personal guidance from Team Windes.

Understand what an FHA loan offers

FHA loans are made by approved lenders and insured by the Federal Housing Administration. They can be a useful option for eligible borrowers who want to explore a lower-down-payment path to homeownership. FHA financing is not limited to first-time homebuyers.

Team Windes helps you compare FHA with conventional and other eligible options, considering your credit profile, available funds, property and long-term plans.

Look at the full payment

Include principal and interest, property taxes, homeowners insurance and required FHA mortgage insurance when reviewing affordability.

Review the property

FHA occupancy, appraisal and property standards apply. Eligible one- to four-unit owner-occupied properties may qualify, subject to additional requirements.

Compare total costs

A lower initial down payment does not tell the whole story. Review mortgage insurance, closing costs and the expected life of the loan.

What we review together

  • Your income, employment, credit and monthly obligations.
  • Available down payment and closing funds, including any permitted gift funds.
  • The California county, property type, intended occupancy and purchase price.
  • Applicable loan limits and the lender's current qualification requirements.

FHA questions

Are FHA loans only for first-time buyers?

No. Eligible repeat buyers can also use FHA financing, subject to the program's requirements.

Does FHA financing include mortgage insurance?

FHA loans generally include upfront and ongoing mortgage insurance costs. The amount and duration depend on applicable rules and loan details. Ask us to explain the costs in your scenario.

Can I purchase a duplex, triplex or fourplex?

Eligible one- to four-unit properties may qualify when occupancy and other FHA requirements are met. Multi-unit properties can have additional qualification rules.
