FHA Loans
What Are FHA Loans?
FHA loans, insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), have helped people become homeowners since 1934. These loans are offered by approved lenders, including Orrstown Bank, and provide a more accessible path to homeownership.
The Benefits of FHA Loans:
- Low Down Payment: Only 3.5% is required.
- Gifted Funds Allowed: Down payments can be fully gifted by family, employers, or charities.
- Easier Qualification: Minimum FICO score of 620 to qualify with Orrstown Bank.
- Help With Closing Costs: Sellers can cover up to 6% of closing costs.
- Higher Debt-to-Income Ratio: FHA allows up to 43% DTI, with flexibility for higher ratios under certain conditions.
FHA loans also require mortgage insurance premiums (MIP) to protect the lender if you default on the loan.

Because lenders must assume a higher risk when issuing FHA loans, they will require you to carry mortgage insurance premium (MIP) to protect their interests. MIP covers the lender's losses if you default on your mortgage.
