FHA Standard Loan
The classic FHA-insured fixed- or adjustable-rate mortgage for buying a primary residence with as little as 3.5% down and flexible credit qualifying.
Down payments from 3.5% for qualified borrowers, credit-friendly qualifying guidelines, gift funds allowed for down payment and closing costs, and both fixed- and adjustable-rate options.
Ideal borrower: First-time buyers, borrowers with modest savings, or anyone rebuilding credit after past financial setbacks — buying a first home, moving up with limited cash reserves, or purchasing after a credit recovery.
The everyday FHA program most Florida buyers start with — the widest lender acceptance and the simplest path to a 3.5%-down purchase.
