FHA Loan

Flexible Financing for First-Time & Low-Credit Buyers

FHA loans, backed by the Federal Housing Administration, are designed to help first-time buyers, lower-income borrowers, or those with credit challenges achieve homeownership. At Philip Zajicek, we simplify the FHA loan process for buyers in Colorado and Arizona, offering guidance every step of the way. FHA loans are known for their relaxed qualification standards and low down payment requirements. With as little as 3.5% down, you can begin your homeownership journey—even with a less-than-perfect credit score.One of the key advantages of an FHA loan is its accessibility. Borrowers who may not qualify for a conventional mortgage due to credit history or debt-to-income ratios can often still secure a home loan through the FHA program.

One of the standout features of FHA loans is their ability to help borrowers recover financially. If you’ve experienced a bankruptcy, foreclosure, or other financial hardship in the past, FHA guidelines typically allow shorter waiting periods before you can qualify again—giving you a faster path back to homeownership. FHA loans also allow for higher debt-to-income (DTI) ratios compared to conventional loans. This flexibility can make it easier for borrowers to qualify, especially in higher-cost housing markets across Colorado and Arizona. It’s a smart choice for those with stable income but existing monthly obligations.

Additionally, FHA loans are assumable—meaning if you sell your home, a qualified buyer can take over your existing mortgage and rate. This feature can be a powerful selling point in the future, especially if interest rates rise, helping your home stand out and potentially sell faster. FHA loans allow for the use of gift funds toward down payment and closing costs, providing more flexibility for families with limited savings. They also offer streamlined refinancing options for future savings.

As a licensed mortgage expert in Colorado and Arizona, I help borrowers navigate FHA eligibility, prepare their documentation, and secure favorable terms that align with their financial goals.

FHA loans are not just for first-time buyers—they’re also ideal for those re-entering the housing market after financial hardships such as bankruptcy or foreclosure, offering a second chance at affordable homeownership. When you work with me, you get more than a loan—you get a lending partner committed to transparency, education, and personalized service from start to finish.
