The FHA, or Federal Housing Administration, is an agency within the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The FHA loan program in NH has been helping people obtain the dream of home ownership since 1934. This is one of the most flexible loan programs and the standard to which all other low down payment and first-time buyer programs are compared.

There are a few beliefs about FHA loans that are not true.
Myth: FHA is very particular about the condition of the home.
Truth: FHA property standards are not significantly different from those of most other government loan programs, other than a little more focus on structural and safety-related issues.
Myth: FHA requires at least one borrower to be a first-time home buyer.
Truth: You do not have to be a first-time home buyer. In fact, you can currently own a home and use an FHA loan to finance another home, as long as you meet all the normal underwriting requirements.
