Frequently asked questions
Do I have to be a first-time buyer to use FHA?
No. FHA loans are available to first-time and repeat buyers who meet program guidelines. If you are buying your first home, we will also compare first-time buyer paths so you pick the strongest option.
What is the minimum down payment?
Qualified borrowers can often put as little as 3.5% down. Exact requirements depend on credit, income, and the property. Dan's team confirms numbers before you shop.
Can I use FHA on a lake home?
Often yes, when the property meets FHA standards. Lake of the Ozarks purchases can involve unique property details, so we review the home early in the process.
Is mortgage insurance required, and for how long?
Most FHA loans require mortgage insurance. How long it lasts depends on down payment and loan terms. We explain the cost clearly before you commit.
