FHA Home Loans

Compared to other home loans, FHA is typically the most flexible mortgage product with lower minimums for down payment and credit score, while allowing a higher debt-to-income (DTI) ratio. A FHA loan is typically the best home loan option for first-time buyers who are not military veterans or the house is not in an eligible rural area designated by USDA.

GMFS Mortgage has funded over 26,000 FHA home loans.

The overall experience was great and the team was patient, communicative, respectful, responsive and very understanding with me although I was upset and impatient at times due to stress of me relocating from another state and this being the third home I placed an offer on. The GMFS Team never wavered nor gave up on me and they just kept moving forward. I really appreciate them and will use them again if I consider buying agai n

Darren was very professional and easy to communicate with. From start to finish he had our loan closed in a couple of weeks.

Working with Stacey for my third time closing made buying a home completely stress-free. From our very first talk, the communication was clear and fast. She found me a great rate, answered every question I had without making me feel rushed, and kept me updated at every single step. If you want an agent that works hard for you and closes on time, look no further!

i keep going back to Stacey and will continue to.
