Program Features:
- Low Down Payment Programs: Having a low down payment option is one of the main reasons FHA loans appeal to first-time homebuyers. In some cases, borrowers can qualify for a down payment as low as 3.5%.
- Credit History Leniency Arkansas FHA home loans are more accessible than Conventional Mortgages. This makes them popular with a wide range of borrowers.
- Lower Interest Rates FHA loans may have some of the lowest interest rates available.
- FHA Loan Limits FHA loan limits can be extended in areas with higher home prices

The important step in purchasing a new home is to get an FHA Pre-Approval Letter for a home loan. The peace of mind that comes with knowing that your mortgage loan has been approved will allow you to shop for your new home with confidence. And when you are ready to make an offer, the fact that you have already been pre-approved for your loan amount will give the seller confidence in you as a buyer.
