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.

Missy was very responsive and maintained communication with us, specially in the initial stages of the process. I suggest being more descriptive with first time home buyers. She was patient when asked to explain.
