What is an FHA refinance loan?

A Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loan is a government-backed home mortgage loan with more flexible lending requirements than conventional refinance loans. Because of this, FHA mortgage interest rates may be somewhat higher. A monthly mortgage insurance premium will be required, along with the monthly loan payments. Use our mortgage refinance calculator to get a monthly payment estimate.
