An FHA loan is a type of mortgage that is insured by the Federal Housing Administration of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
If you are looking to buy a home in Myrtle Beach, but worry that your low credit rating or debt to income ratio may stand in the way, you may be eligible for an FHA loan. Although there are still limits to how much you can borrow, FHA loans typically require a lower down payment.
