California home financing

FHA loans in California

Understand FHA financing before choosing your next step.

FHA-insured financing may be worth considering for an eligible owner-occupied home purchase or refinance. Sasha can help you compare it with other options based on your circumstances and the property.

Insurance and eligibility both matter

FHA insures eligible loans made by approved lenders; it does not mean every applicant or property is approved. Lender underwriting, occupancy requirements, income, credit and the source of funds still apply.

Budget for more than the down payment

Review the full payment and cash required at closing, including applicable FHA mortgage insurance. Compare those costs with available conventional or other eligible financing rather than evaluating the down payment alone.

Check the property early

The property and appraisal must meet the applicable requirements. Unit count, condition and county loan limits can affect the available path. Discuss the home you are considering before assuming a particular loan amount or structure will work.

Questions before we talk

Are FHA loans only for first-time buyers?

No. Eligible repeat buyers may also use FHA financing.

Does government insurance guarantee approval?

No. The lender must review the borrower, property and complete application.
