At McCaffrey Home Mortgage, we believe that choosing the right mortgage is as important as choosing the right home. With so many loan programs available today, it can be difficult to know where to begin. That's where our team of experts comes in. We'll provide you with a basic understanding of the different loan options available and help you understand key differences so you can select the loan that's best for you.
Two of the most common loan options for first-time buyers are Conventional Loans and FHA Loans. While both help you achieve the same goal (homeownership), they work very differently.
Let’s break them down so you can decide which might be the best fit for you.
A conventional loan is not backed by the government. Instead, it comes from private lenders like banks, credit unions, or mortgage companies.
An FHA loan is backed by the Federal Housing Administration. This makes it more accessible for buyers with lower credit or smaller savings.
At McCaffrey, we not only want you to feel confident in your home buying decision but also well-equipped for the journey ahead. We understand there are many choices available when it comes to selecting a home mortgage lender, and we are confident that our team of experts stands out from the rest.
